PRC is capitalism with some controls. USSR attempted socialism but failed with varying degrees. Cuba is a dictatorship of Castro family. Vietnam was socialist but moved to a PRC model. DPRK is dictatorship.

Communist states require capitalism to some extent as they need the modes of production to exist before the modes of production can be democratized. In the real world this strongly implies that communism would be post capitalist. The problem almost all communist states suffered is via creation of a vanguard party which oversees the transition from the existing structures to actual communism. In many cases vanguard never relinquishes power and becomes the very entity that they set to destroy. Revolution is continous and requires context to succeed. In this case, any structure must be opposed to make sure that power do not get concentrated. This implies that absolute systems cannot exist. Only decentralized systems which cooperate on some principles with each other can solve the issue of power concentration.

Stealing this meme. Too good.

Any structure which has hierarchy in it with control structures away from people suffers from the same issue. People must own things.

There was active intereference by Tlaib, Sawant and Stein on the issue. Many people protested by not voting across many states. While I agree that this was not the singular issue why she lost. I am angry that people abstained so Trump could win. Trump hates muslims and anybody who is not white enough.

There is no future election buddy.

Managers are latter. They don’t do much work or deliver any work that is critical to the company to operate. They are very good at corporate speak and climbing.

I dont think they are tankies. I am an anarchist and I believe communism is as evil as capitalism. I am lemmy.ml so I dont think they are tankies.

great recession and covid I know of. Whats the third one?

That was by mistake. This lady will be deported with intent to the infamous El Salvador prison.

Lets see how long before the whole privacy first approach gets dropped. I am betting 1 quarter of negative growth and privacy goes out of the window

I am pretty sure ICE and DHS are enroute to arrest her and deport her to El Salvador. Fucking gestappo c**ts. This is exactly what Rashida Tlaib, Jill Stein and Kshama Sawant wanted.

I am not worried about the firing part. This lady and her friends must have been added to the DHS list. They are going to deport her if she is on any visa or PR.

Its a hydra and not a minotaur. 8 heads will spawn 16 heads in stead. Structural changes require non violent continous revolution of Gramscian nature. Violence does not work as well as you think it would.

Not the same. US tried to establish a government and then leave the place. They had no plans what would happen after the invasion. If the plan was to establish permanent colony, there would be control structures which make sure that happen.

US is armed to the teeth. The local home guard is more armed than militaries of some countries. This is before the army gets called in. Any chance of an armed uprising is naught. The only thing that will work is making the police join in the strikes.

Violence will be used as an excuse to attack people who stood against the govt. This part has been played many times in history. The last major one being in Tianenmen.

This is interesting.

I have read a lot of marxist and anarchist theory. All marxist theories did is to confirm that the anarchists are right.

What is a tankie?

US denies proper healthcare because they want us to be dependant on the companies to provide us with that. If you lose your job, you lose access to healthcare. You are dependant on the corporate overlords for your subsistence and health
