And set the date format to YYYY.MM.DD for the entire world. Americans and Europeans can stop arguing.

this made me uncontrollably angry , its YYYY-MM-DD not YYYY.MM.DD

note: the median American is "only" 59.8k$ in debt, which while lower than the 90.5k$ figure given in the post, is still larger than the median yearly wage (59k$)

I'm not attempting to argue communism is not bad in my comment, I believe this is even more true if you believe communism is bad.

I am strictly saying comparing Nazism and communism does not give a full picture, which is, AFAIK, something that experts in Soviet history, some of which I quoted, agree with.

What I'm trying to say is that comparing the two you risk either reducing the weight of crimes committed by Nazis, which are worse than those committed in any communist state, I hope you'll agree and also risk loosing the detail distinguishing the two.

I would elaborate further, but I want to make this comment shorter to make what I'm saying a bit more accessible.

I genuinely can't tell if this is parody or not.

FYI:

Many developments initially criticized as ghost cities did materialize into economically vibrant areas when given enough time to develop, such as Pudong, Zhujiang New Town, Zhengdong New Area, Tianducheng and malls such as the Golden Resources Mall and South China Mall. While many developments failed to live up to initial lofty promises, most of them eventually became occupied when given enough time.

Reporting in 2018, Shepard noted that "Today, China’s so-called ghost cities that were so prevalently showcased in 2013 and 2014 are no longer global intrigues. They have filled up to the point of being functioning, normal cities".

Similar thing happened across the border, in Ukraine, with a pacifist being accused of "justifying the war", as reported by Democracy Now!

Honestly I hope the BRICS bank does come to fruition. China has already done a lot for the developing world and an alternative for the IMF which doesn't require implementing neoliberal policies would benefit many counties.

I've learned of this claim on friday everyday (yt), here. I've done some searching, both on their website and the wider internet, but I cant seem to find it. Has anyone of y'all seen it and can give a link? This explanation does seem to make sense, but I would prefer to see the article, especially any sources given by Nury.

My guess is that its mostly a result of them not yet realising how much western red scare propaganda influences their opinion on things.

Its one thing to realise or mode of production is deeply flawed another to put capitalism as a whole at fault and yet another to start questioning ones every assumption.

Honestly I feel like there is a bit of a gap when it comes to easily approachable information. A lot of the youtube content which talks about the Soviet Union from a ML perspective expects the viewer to have some understanding of ML ideals. I think content which serves to not prove to the viewer ML ideas but to show what Marxist Leninist believe.

As an example the CPR. Red scare actions are still active thus the status quo opinion is that anything but an uncritical aggression towards the CPR is an extremist position.

TL;DR: while red scare actions by western media and institutions definetly has an impact, approachability for non MLs definetly could be improved.
