‘The political desperadoes and ignoramuses, who say they would “Rather be Dead than Red”, should be told that no one will stop them from committing suicide, but they have no right to provoke a third world war.’ — Morris Kominsky, 1970
Pity that we don’t have an antisocialist here to say ‘WHATS CAPITALISM GOTTA DO WITH THIS???????’ Because we’ve seen how obvious phenomena like marketability and profitability suddenly become foreign concepts when they’re linked to anything embarrassing.
Alternatively: ‘at least you can still get bananas. under commulism you dont get anything and they genocide your entire neighborhood if your suspect of having a banana’ (a classic evidence‐free accusation, unless you count ‘my grandparents are chinese north korean cubans from venezuela so i should know’ as evidence).
I certainly don’t share the author’s respect for De Gaulle, but it’s good to have documents of anticommunist officials (partially) admitting that Imperial America is bent on world domination — a part of the world, in this case. The effects should already point to that conclusion, but explicit commentaries and discussions like these from élites make it harder to wave it off as some mere conspiracy theory.
Imperial America is also (gently) toning down its sanctions on its enemies, notably the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the Republic of Cuba. These are by no means major victories, but they support our prediction that the Empire is slowly dying: it was only a few years ago that it was trying to sanction everybody and their dog in the BRV. Such concessions would have been almost inconceivable then.
Needless to say, the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie is not going to spend that extra money on civilian infrastructure.
Upon closer examination, it turns out that the principles described in the declaration are clearly not in great demand among the Western public.
Then why do you people care?
Today’s Russia is an absolutely capitalist state.
Thank you for stating the obvious. While you are at it, maybe you can remind us that Sudetenland was capitalist, too.
This is another very bland article. When it isn’t glossing over communist arguments without comment, it’s filled with the typical oversimplifications and common misunderstandings that communists have already addressed repeatedly. Just because I’m disinterested in going on and on about how much Putin sucks doesn’t mean that my sentiment is ‘Putin good’.
Focussing on the Russian Federation only distracts us from the real causes of this conflict and how Western capitalists set the stage for it. But I’m unsurprised that these dullards care less about that and far more about an unpopular minority.
In fairness, the author of the video could be right‐wing (judging by the other content that he’s published), but if you can look past that then it should still be useful; I’m sure that the information is easy to verify. Broken clocks and whatnot.
This is the end result of class collaborationism: socialists with great potential either die in combat or the bourgeois state disposes of them after they outlive their use, and in both cases the world is no closer to outgrowing capitalism. If this person were still alive, I would have been irritated enough to shake him in frustration.
You are missing the point. Do you really think that a Western empire and its (rarely reliable) media would sincerely care about and honestly report other states committing atrocities when there are already cops beating or killing thousands of civilians, thousands of ill prisoners dying from neglect, unconsensual destructions of native lands happening, thousands of nuclear weapons awaiting use, and other ignored problems running rampant, all right here on their own doorstep yearly? Do you think that that’s all just an unfortunate coincidence?
No, it isn’t.
Here’s the deal:
There is a finite amount of money in the world, and it all has an owner.
This means that not everybody can become richer simultaneously.
You with me so far, capitalist apologists?
So, how does an individual become richer? By getting money from somebody else.
And what happens when somebody gives money to somebody else? The giver becomes less rich.
Now, since Elon Musk is getting richer overall, and there’s a finite amount of money in the world, where is he getting that money?
It isn’t falling out of a worm hole.
It’s like I argued back in September 2020: ‘richest country’ does not mean ‘ordinary people are living pretty good’. That’s another oversimplification that anticommies push repeatedly because it’s so much easier than coming up with an actually good argument.
A few years ago I was frequenting a Subway restaurant and I slowly became acquainted with the employés there. One of the workers told me that he got a call back when he was working at Taco John’s, learned that his son was either dying or already dead (I can’t remember which), and he was getting ready to leave until his boss threatened to fire him if he walked out the door. He told his boss something like, ‘You can go ahead and fire me because I’m not gonna miss my son for you.’ and never looked back.
I am sure that I got a detail or two wrong in this story, but the crux of the matter—a boss fired somebody for leaving early to attend a family emergency—is something that I definitely remember.
Honestly, the choice of photo is what I find most baffling of all. From the looks of things, there’s a lot more than just flatulence in those, and she’s probably been shitting blood too, which would fit with the reports that she needed medical attention. But for some strange reason, the article never mentioned either of those.
Also… can the OP tag this as NSFW or something? Seeing somebody’s bowel products does a number on my appetite. I’ve skipped entire meals before as a consequence.
