Hmm, voting. I think you need to read up on Left Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder by V.I. Lenin. In fact, even State and Revolution and maybe even What is to be done? (I haven’t completed this one yet).
It seems like you’re rusty on what revolutionary socialism is.
What even is your first sentence, that shit literally makes no sense. Oh yeah, I’d rather be able to have access to diverse viewpoints rather than affordable housing or sustinence or a good job lmao
Citing Wikipedia is not the own you think it is.
Your comments are sus
I’ve had this my whole life for the most stereotypically racist reasons, maybe I should convert to Islam for the shock value?
Omg are you saying there might be tankies???
And you’re the fish
The Second Thought YouTube channel made a good video on this too, it doesn’t deep dive but it gives a good summary of why it’s bad.
Any chance you know of an archive of that link? I was enjoying it until it told me to sign in.
Mfw libs think calling someone a tankie is an insult rather than a compliment 😂
Is this supposed to imply that the users of Lemmygrad believe capitalism is the best system? Lol
Of course not, everyone knows that every vote counts and that votes are the sole source of how elected officials get in power! I personally get the warm fuzzies every time I tick a box on the ballot and say, “fuck the man, I’m voting you out! Take this!”, and then the business backed/incumbent/dynastic candidate wins anyways. I got home and say to myself, well I didn’t vote for them so they’re not legit in my books, despite that making no material difference in their hold on power.
TL;DR every vote counts, ignore existing power structures and capital interests, nothing to see here! pulls curtain
Thanks for coming to my TED talk on life in a liberal democracy.
While I believe that people had differing opinions (they always do), I find it hard to accept that your anecdotal evidence speaks for all of the Baltic states populations that lived under the USSR.
By reducing everyone’s arguments against you to, “you just read what you did on the internet, I talked to real people therefore my argument is more valid”, the stance that you’re trying to take is not rooted in good faith.
Perhaps being able to cite surveys or census data, or at least some form of statistic, would add some foundation to your argument.
I’m gonna need some higher quality sources than Wikipedia for this one.
It’s a pity that the US targeted them, yeah.
Everybody knows that Wikipedia is literally unrefutable fact, especially on controversial or political topics. Why would someone lie or omit facts on the internet??? Next you’re going to tell me that I can’t trust CIA press releases too!!!
If capitalism inevitably becomes imperialism, then wouldn’t the evolution of communism into something akin to Soviet Russia also be inevitable? Both are extreme worst case scenarios of a decent idea
What are you trying to say here? I think I know what you’re trying to say but it’s weird that you’re narrowing in on the Russian Soviet Republic.
Do the names of the people you know rhyme with show me snark?
I remember someone on here talking about this and they linked a couple of videos from a YouTube channel called Asianometry or something that explained the technology.
I can’t remember which videos they are though but if I recall, the reason for particle collider wafer manufacturing not being mainstream was because of requiring large infrastructure investment per factory.
It makes sense that China would pursue this as there isn’t as strong a push on profit motive as in somewhere like Taiwan or S. Korea.
