Slop.

I am not opposed to colonialism.

Fucker's got the geopolitical views of an 1800's British factory owner.

Update:

Segregation enjoyer as well, least racist lemmy.world user

libs reading the meme before heading to the comments like

Oh no wonder why it's at the top but there's only like 3-4 comments, they're all from the libs that aren't welcome here

Lemmy libs should be forced back to Reddit.

The problem with liberalism is that eventually they run out of other people's labor. They should develop their own platform rather than spreading their vile genocidal, classist ideology on the back of someone else's work.

I had to search 2 years back into the archives for this one.

Lol he defederated with fascist.world

I love the energy, but this map makes the severe error of excluding the Baltics from the “shut the fuck up” zone

Edit: just realized this comment is almost identical to one of the comments under it, whoops

My favorite is the supposed """"leftist""" who thinks China can't be communist because they're taking too long to transition away from capitalism. The timeline given? A decade is "too long."

Motherfucker, Marx and Engles in the Communist Manifesto hypothesized the transition from capitalism to socialism alone would take centuries, nevermind from socialism to communism. You cannot create a classless, stateless, moneyless society without reactionaries undermining you from all sides. Even the United States and France with their bourgeois revolutions saw multiple attempts by the aristocracy to retake their positions.

"the communist countries are capitalist actually" is my favourite one

i have a special bark-laugh ive developed for dumbass libs. there are certainly some 'takes' in there that chiloke those yelps outta me... fuck. thry just got that je ne sais quoi balance of equally funny and infuriating

One of the biggest things that makes me certain communism is the way forward is every single argument against it is an argument from ignorance or racism. I've never heard an anti-com argument that doesn't boil down around 4ish "answers."

1: "They aren't white, so their achievements don't count" (Usually cloaked in implication rather than outright stated, but there's always an air of "If western europe couldn't do it, no one could." (Usually with bonus mentions of the Nordic countries for good measure))

2: "My grandma's friend's dentist used to have an egg monopoly and they tell me gommulism is bad." (Usually said by people who have rejected every single survey and statistic about socialist countries, but a personal anecdote is obviously far more correct than the aggregated opinions of thousands or millions)

3: "it isn't real socialism because I've got my own personal definition of the term that is inherently contradictory and impossible to meet." (Usually used by western "leftists" who mask their western chauvanism behind impossible standards. Usually overlaps a lot with the first one.)

4: "Saint Karl Marx of Orthodox Marxist Faith said that this wasn't real socialism" (See also: Trots making similar claims with Trotsky.)(Pretty basic stuff here, treating communist theory like some kind of religion or infallible Truth rather than a scientific analysis of class structure and society. The Holy Prophet of Marxism said this, therefore you are wrong and following evil false prophets, like Stalin. Bonus points if they claim that Marx said this or that, when he actually said the exact opposite in his writings.)

I'm sure there are more, but those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

When my co-workers start ranting about how that America needs to "start making it's own shit and stop relying on other countries!" as if that wasn't the whole point of it's empire.

It's incredibly mild and they are absolutely losing it

lol I started this thread 30 minutes before I left for work. What happened?
