  • It's not an "internal critique" if you are going to misrepresent what Jesus said. He said he came to complete the law of Moses and that people shouldn't follow the law blindly. His whole deal "love of god and love other people as yourself" and the rest of the law should be applied after that consideration.

    If you want to do an internal critique start with what Jesus said was the most important thing "love god and love your neighbor as yourself." From there you can say "If the rich loved the poor as they loved themselves they would give the poor everything they need. If the bourgeoisie loved their neighbors as themselves they would gladly give up control of the means of production to their neighbors of the working class. So to follow the teachings of Christ is to be a communist."

    Don't get me wrong I'm not a christian. I think 80% of the bible is fabrication and exaggeration. I'm not eve convinced that Jesus even existed. But if you take the book at its word the teachings of Jesus aren't anything bad.

    Churches twist the message into hate and division and that sucks but it doesn't mean the message "love each other" is bad or that it should be ignored. The working classes that are subject to that system are not the problem just like factory workers aren't responsible for the factory owner's wealth and power.

    The goal of communists is to break the bourgeoisie control by reminding Christians of the primary commandment of Jesus not condemn them for being exploited by the bourgeoisie. Just as we don't condemn workers for increasing the wealth of the Bourgeoisie we educate them so they know who really makes the wealth so they can unite against the exploiters.

    There are lots of good Christians who could be good communists if atheist communists weren't so dogmatic spiteful and dismissive.

  • Along with what Lamassu said. 16,500 is just a ludicrous number. israel barely hit that level of murders/time when they were using 1000lb bombs, tanks and machine guns in the one of the densest populated areas on earth.

    There is no way that many people were killed. Anyone who says any number in the thousands is not to be trusted... ever. It took israel 4 days to come up with their 10/7 estimate of 2000 dead, that the government organizing the counting with the internet and phones at their disposal. How on earth could a western NGO that is not in Iran come up with an estimate without access to people on the ground or any coordination between their sources?

    The only way this number makes sense is if they have 165 people on the ground who all told their western employers they saw 100 people killed and they don't mention that they all saw the same 100 people.

  • I like Guatemala's best. Poporopo is just fun to say.

  • This is a very clever but simple idea. Back in my hitchhiking days I would obviously spend lots of time standing beside a road watching cars go past and I noticed that some places had significantly more dents and miscolored fenders etc. (like Tacoma, Washington) I always assumed it as just a town of "bad drivers" (like a fucking liberal dipshit) Its so obvious that it must be the material conditions. I'm sure proximity to an international airport is going to mean more fender benders but instead we've been conditioned to blame the people.

    Thanks for this.

    That said there are some really bad drivers, like me.

  • You too Oppo

  • I like to use the "sheep and goats" bit to fuck with chuds. "Charlie Kirk is in hell because he didn't welcome the stranger." "Whatever you do unto the least of these you do unto me. You want to deport the Son of God."

  • Why is it ok for communists to engage in capitalism in a capitalist world but its not ok for Jesus to discuss slavery in a world of slavery?

    Communists are allowed to transition to a better world slowly but Christians have to have completely abolished slavery in 33BCE to be taken seriously?

    I'm not even a christian but this is just idealist nonsense.

  • China will catch up to nvidia and AMD in the not too distant future and the cost of gpus and ram will plummet. Its just a matter of holding out for a few years.

  • "We mourn the 1200 israeli civilians illegally living on occupied land, killed during the october 7th prison break The majority of whom were killed the IDF executing the Hannibal directive"

  • The capitalists have been promoting anti-communist voices since they learned what a communism is.

  • 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.
