he’s far from the violent Nazi you’re portraying him as.
Are you like, actually fucking blind? Has a Totenkopf tattoo, admits to love killing and he was a fucking guard at Abu Ghraib.
If this is what hope for America’s future is then you all deserve to suffer for it.
The USSR started to trend downwards as a result of sabotage with liberalization and reforms. It was then fully dissolved illegally and was catastrophic to all (now former)soviet states. Then NATO/US bombed the fuck out of Yugoslavia and now we have a huge fascism problem.
Contrast the USSR in which the pseudoscientific beliefs of a central authority figure turned what could have been a brief and localized food shortage into a full-blown famine spanning the entire union.
You are seriously not talking about Holodomor are you? The USSR did its best to help after Kulaks, who were against collectivization, sabotaged their farms and killed their livestocks. And that famine is always used by fascists as a point against communism.
skimmed the essay you linked well enough to see that it does not address the anarchist critique of state “socialism,”
So you did not read it, typical of an anarkiddie… Your aversion to authority is also what makes it really easy for counter-revolutionaries to completely screw over revolutions. Socialism is the transition towards communism and you don’t just press the button to become instantly communist, not when classes exist.
totalitarian dictatorship
Yep, the classic of folding both communism and fascism into one fold to depict both as equally horrible. This is just doing the work for the ruling class for free.
so they blame it all on external imperialist aggression from capitalist nations rather than reflect on why those projects failed.
Unbelievable… we have more than enough proof of imperalist aggression being the reason why socialist states “fail”. I mean for fucks sake Cuba is constantly under threat and is actively being sanctioned. They fucking kidnapped the damn democratically elected president in Venezuela for fucks sake!!! Or how about the coup in Chile?
And your point on China as well as your problem with hierarchy has me believe you’re an idealistic anarchist. I recommend reading https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Essay:Why_China_is_not_Capitalist concerning China being “capitalist”.
Well, Isekai has to be one of the worst trends ever. It’s so overly reliant on self-fulfillment and self-insert as a hook that it has nothing to go for in terms of story. Almost all having the same setup and structure with a gimmick.
And the glorification of slavery… my god…
I swear Usians are somehow always acting like self-centered poor victims while defending their system that brutalizes the Global South. Fucking despicable.
What having full ignorant confidence that NATO wasn’t full of Nazis lmao that’s why
Sydney Sweeney feels particularly weird to include in this. Like Apple as a tech corpo… I guess?? Sports… okay… but then a fucking actress as a point in being better than China???
And even then it’s all commodity and entertainment. China’s future is poverty alleviation, education and innovation. So if you care only for circus and bread then I guess China is not the future for you?
What point are you trying to make? A country that commits some of the most heinous atrocities in recent history and has serious flaws in their society like racism and inequality does NOT get to dictate and police others on these matters, especially in matters of morality. It’s completely ironic and hypocritical and not to mention reeks of chauvinism.
The South was and still is under US occupation. Rhee led a fucking massacre on Jeju island against any suspected communists. The US and puppet Rhee suppressed any movement for independence and even today you can not express any sympathy for DPRK in occupied South. The military leader of the South is a US commander.
“everything”
Then name them.
Can you give examples? Both for war crimes as well as examples of imperialism?
When western anarchists dismiss AES countries for being “authoritarian” or “capitalist” then they are defaulting to the status quo of Western imperialism. When they say they dislike both USA and China for the same reason, they are again defaulting to Western supremacy whether they intent to or not.
I’ve had my share of anarchists that get extremely defensive over their country (usually USA) being criticized over enacting imperialism when they are criticizing AES countries and especially China and DPRK, as “whataboutism”. It reeks of chauvinism and white supremacy, not realizing that there’s an inherent behaviour of preferring their country to stay in power due to fear of “the scary Chinese” and etc.
“whataboutism”
Are you sure? Germany is absolutely still fascist and it has never been more apparent with their loyalty to “Israel” and Zionism. And how much they bend the rules in favour for it.
what next? the buildings are made out of cardboard and the people need to push the trains?
Oh you invented a new method of energy production? pfft lemme guess… is it boiling water? 😏
The fascists in Finland killed communists in their own country. The USSR recognized Finland’s independence.
But WOW of course you’re going to compliment Nazis. Fucking fascist.
And what makes data from Vietnam not reliable…?
Same with Zohran Mamdani too.
