They're trying to scare off ppl from protesting.. These are our so-called democracies every lib loves so much. In school I once learned protesting was one of our most important rights under democracies. Whatever happened to that o.O
Meanwhile incredible activists around me are losing their jobs for standing up to genocide. Hearing abt these cases just makes me wanna raise my voice even further. Tho I wouldn't know what I'd do if I literally lost all my job opportunities. Literally only cuz I stood up against the cowardly slaughter of babies. At least I did the right thing then.
BRO I feel exactly the same! This horror is unraveling right in front of our eyes while people in their ignorance are simply siding with the oppressors.. I've been so frustrated lately with the sheer stupidy of people. Yet I don't wanna stop debating with them, cuz I feel like it's our job to try our best to correct and educate those ppl to at least show them that there's other ways of thinking out there - beyond the propaganda. But I swear, some ppl's takes have been permanently scarring to listen to, and I've been so upset about my lib friends who cannot help themselves but say stupid shit QwQ
Thank you for sharing, fr.. This world is sick, but I'm at least glad to know what the antidote is and to have my comrades with whom I will fight for that antidote as long as need be. It's not much but it fills me with hope.
I was talking with two friends yesterday. Apparently they always supported Palestinians, but once they saw Hamas soldiers screaming Allah Ackbar and kidnapping civilian women, they are of the opinion that they're not better than Israelis. "It's just two Nazi Germanies fighting against eachother." Was a banger I heard during that discussion. Another banger: "You don't see Ukranians murder and kidnap civilians, do you? They are respectful of POW."
I tried my best arguing; to no avail. Whatever I said, I was countered with smth like, "well i support them too, but this kind of force is totally unjustified". So in short I failed the argument.
I rly wouldn't be too optimistic.. His views got nothing to do with communism and he already was in cabinet like 3 times. I wouldn't be surprised if he never followed through with these promises. Maybe he'll go the Orbán route? Fico prolly won't be worse than Matovič tho. But who knows.. This is liberal politics at its finest after all.
I personally believe it was and still is a totally valid strategy of China to use Capitalism as a means to bring about prosperity to its people, for it is impossible and irresponsible to build Socialism on poverty.
The strategy Mao implemented was formulated with the, at the time, current material conditions kept in mind. Deng did exactly the same for his time. "A very poor population, the lack of an industrial base and the lack of a large urban population" were the driving forces behind the "Reform and Opening Up" policy. These conditions were brought about by the policies made by Mao. That doesn't mean Mao's policies were 'bad': the average life expectency went up from 35 in the 1950s to 70 in the late 70s. But the average citizen still lived on less than 1$ a day.

So reforms are undertaken by attempting to improve certain aspects, but will inevitably have contradictions accompanying them, which the next reform will address in turn. And such is China's approach. Capitalism brought about fast industrialization which lead to wealth, but has also brought about pollution issues amongst others, which China is addressing now (reduction of reliance on coal, banning it in Beijing altogether, tho not completely eliminated, massive reforestation projects and becoming the global leader in green-technology)

What I don't know at all is if there was anything like a rivalry between Deng and Mao? I ran out of time so if anyone can shed light on that i'd be happy. Nevertheless I'm certain Mao would have been happy with the results of Deng's reforms.
Oh yeah. They worked out some weird pyramid-theory right? I have heard about it in conversation a week ago, but haven't had time to look into it. I agree with a comrade of mine tho; simply making everyone the imperialists doesn't help u at all in analyzing the world.
The one thing that stood out to me was patriotism at first. Just cuz I hate patriots and nationalists here in the west. But in a socialist country being a patriot makes way more sense out the gate. So all in all, I'm digging these values. Does anyone know who formulated them?
Fear? My dear comrade, just imagine how much quicker we could bring about communism if we were all just a bunch of literal tanks. The liberals are unknowingly digging their own graves.
Now, which tank to do u think u'll be?
Omg.. look at how many views he's getting QwQ He's literally downplaying fascism. This dude's inhumane to the core and will talk about how commies terrorized humanity. Meanwhile us Communists are the ones unifying the people while the right is actively working to drive wedges between them.
Bruh the right will never cease to disappoint.. Now imagine what all these right wing militants will do once asked to hand back their weapons to the Ukranian government after the war. They'll definitely just comply and be good citizens. For sure.
Yeaa figures. Parenti talked abt how Bernie's "bombing Yugoslavia is lit" stance back then marked the end of their friendship.
Events like these, where everyone with a clear mind can clearly observe the absolute abomination that is the liberal worldview, seem to be occuring regurarly enough to radicalize entire generations of ppl. Bastards like Bernie will die out one way or another.
