  • and the "its just Neo-liberalism" people too

  • I just got my copy of this book. I love how like 10% of each page is citations.

  • Its about hindsight. Its not about exporting revolution to europe but wishing Stalin had struck a crippling blow to fascist that they couldn't recover from.

    USSR thought incorrectly that the end of the 3rd reich would be the end of fascist aggression, at least for long enough that they could take care of domestic concerns without distraction.

    Taking Berlin was only the first leg of defeating the threat of fascism. If Stalin knew what "peace" would look like maybe he would have just kept going instead of letting the fascists regroup and change tactics.

    Fascism was on the ropes in 1945. Peace allowed them to turn USSR's allies into enemies and change tactics to asymmetrical warfare, economic war and dirty war.

  • The I'm sure reddit systems/bots boost ultras and "communist" idiots.

  • Betteridge's Law strikes again.

    Modi is trying to steal Erdogan's title of Shiftiest Fuck of in the category of National Leader. Dumps a bunch of money before the ultimatum deadline so the work doesnt stop and then tells trump "oh yeah we aren't going to to any business with Iran Until you aren't looking "

  • honestly that is less creepy than his real eyes.

  • oof that is a face begging to be hit if I ever did see one.

  • Everyone involved in the fall of the USSR has spent the last 35 years justifying their participation. They blamed all the hardship after the fall on the communists not the capitalists who stole everything. The worse the current situation was the more they lied about how horrible the USSR was. The kids who grew up in late stage and post USSR took everything they heard about the USSR as true when the people telling them were lying to themselves to convince themselves that they made the right choice. There was no alternative voices because people who were against the break up were silenced.

    The schools and curriculum were taken over by liberal zealots who taught false history. Like how Kalas the EU's foreign relations person says ahistorical stuff like "russia has invaded europe unprovoked 9 times in the last 100 years." She is too stupid to make that up, she is just repeating 10th grade history. Just like how american schools teach the story of Indigenous peoples sharing their food with the settlers at the first thanksgiving or how "usa won the second world war."

    Propaganda and indoctrination.

  • They need to get authorization to engage from their CO.

  • No the opposite. Control of media was easy during the 50 and 60s. The messaging was still on point in the 70s and 80s and the material conditions were still pretty ok. In the 90s they had nobody to demonize because the USSR was gone. They pulled it together in the 2000 by stirring up islamophobia but that was only effective to Christian bigots. Today the only way to be Pro-Empire is to be an unabashed white supremacist or ignorant and it is harder and harder to stay ignorant when you can't afford rent.

  • I didn't notice. I guess I've done a good job of becoming amazon free.

    If you want a less pessimistic view these outages could have been anti-imperialist counter attacks in response to the Iran shenanigans.

    I can imagine some Chinese and/or Russian hackers gifting Iranian hackers an exploit they set up in amazons oldest data center. Leaving a little message in there "tell musk to stop sending starlink to terrorists" Bezos losing millions or dollars because musk is a fascist that helps terrorist would be sure to provoke some divisions.

  • No older people are more anti-communist because the quality of propaganda has been degrading not because they are older.

  • I need more information. AWS? I know Verizon is a telecom giant but what happened?

  • Half of gen z are still in highschool and probably have no direct experience of exploitation by landlords and employers.

  • NSFW

    sad, indeed

    Jump
  • Calling her a worm isn't enough not even maggot captures the pathetic putridness.

  • Guy yells "pedo protector" in a busy factory and Trump puts his hand up.

  • Yes she can starting with tracking down anyone affiliated with the "opposition" (aka collaborator) party and putting them in reeducation camps.

  • So the video link is only a day old and the text in the image is a comment on another post. How do we know it is a 6 year old video or that it is Iraq?

  • Removed

    A little question

  • trump is a response to the rise of socialism not the other way around.

    The tendency towards falling profits and capitalist greed mean that under capitalism living standards will inevitably fall. Deteriorating living standards, regardless of which clown is president, will always push people towards wanting socialism. Fascism is a preemptive attempt to divert a majority of people from class consciousness and proletarian revolution by demonizing an out group of the working class.
