  • I fully agree with you, but just curious: what's your opinion on the Taiwanese and South Korean governments between the 1950s and the 1990s?

  • There is not one party in Germany that you can vote that isn't either neoliberal, Zionist, xenophobic or all of the above

  • Agreed, we should follow the steps of other actually existing socialist projects in order to get rid of the ultra rich in ways that have historically proven successful.

  • ^^ Things that don't get you banned from .world

  • Lemmy: your daily dose of misogyny

  • You're the one comparing a hypothetical to r*pe

  • While that's part of it, you can also see plenty of hate towards landlords in western countries, because people are suffering the consequences of landlordism (when it comes to housing). The main problems IMO are Eurocentrism and American Exceptionalism.

  • This is literally the vast majority of western "leftists", of course they're the same person.

  • I don’t understand why they are still in place

    The US is explicit about this: "every possible means should be undertaken promptly to weaken the economic life of Cuba. If such a policy is adopted, it should be the result of a positive decision which would call forth a line of action which, while as adroit and inconspicuous as possible, makes the greatest inroads in denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government"

    I don't believe the USA is buddies with Russia, though, they have opposing geopolitical interests. The fact that the USA is pulling out of Ukraine now is not because they're buddies with Russia, but because Ukraine is a broken toy now that the EU has fully antagonized Russia as a consequence of the invasion and has subserved itself to NATO and agreed to the 5% military expenditure (mostly to buy weapons from the USA military-industrial complex)

  • Oh, I wasn't aware that China actually invaded Taiwan! When did that happen? Oh, wait, it's only in your mind, I see.

  • Whoopsie, what a stupid decision 9/11, just a misshap and a slip that violently murdered a few hundred thousand innocent Iraqi civilians and millions more through destruction of the state and infrastructure!

  • No but you see, Lenin and Fidel Castro only took power because they were very smart authoritarians. Why did the military support them, you say? Well, obviously because claiming "I'm the president now" gives you total control over the institutions, that's how authoritarianism works!! /s

  • Only state violence is actual violence! Kulaks enslaving peasants and starving them to the point that their life expectancy is 28 years of age is just basic economics! /s

  • "I'm a socialist, that's why I believe in milquetoast reformism for western capitalist nations but for radical regime change in socialist China"

  • Again, you're justifying the invasion of Iraq.

  • Yes, Cuba is a good example

  • 9/11 is linked to Afghanistan and Al-Qaeda though? And very likely to Saudi Arabia. What's the Iraqi involvement in 9/11?

    Regardless: China also has a history of ISIS-linked terrorist attacks that have killed almost a thousand nationals over the past few decades.

  • Ok, now answer to my original point: tell me ONE military action carried out by China in the last 30 years that remotely compares to the invasion of Iraq

  • "The USA invasion of Iraq was justified" is not a take I thought I'd be seeing on Lemmy tbh. I will now disengage, won't get anything from someone who thinks that the hundreds of thousands of murdered in Iraq were justified.
