  • I'll even share a detail about my general political views, out of all ideologies, I strongly believe that Social Democracy is the best

    Have you lived in Europe for the past 20 years? European "Social" "Democracy" has led only to the destruction of welfare state, worker rights, increasing of retirement age, and collapse of salaries, and whoever tries to deviate from that by being further left (Syriza, Podemos, LFI) gets couped out of power, whereas far right governments rule without issues in half of the continent

  • Wikipedia is wonderful... for most things.

    The main demographic contributing to and editing English Wikipedia are young, highly educated white men from western countries. It will portray on average the bias that most of these people espouse. So it will have racist bias, misogynistic bias and pro-western bias.

    That said, it's still probably less misogynistic and less racist and less pro-western than your average outlet, because it filters out some of the most blatant false narratives and propaganda from conservative sources such as FOX.

  • More Than 20 Million Americans Are Set to Lose Health Care Coverage on January 1

    Jump

  • USians don't need to pay for tax increases to pay for public healthcare, USians already pay exceedingly expensive healthcare. Government expenditure doesn't come from taxes, the federal reserve can literally create money at will at a keystroke. Expropriation of the existing hospitals and clinics by the state would already make healthcare much cheaper than it is, because right now the wealth is siphoned off to rich people and corporations.

  • The issue is that democrats would rather lose elections than make healthcare affordable. It's not bad strategy, it's the logical consequence of their interests

  • Surely then you reject Britain belonging to NATO and advocate for an antimilitaristic stance and the reduction of military budgets?

  • "The geopolitically opposite country of mine is the evil imperialist invader, we need to arm ourselves in self-defense and defense of human rights!"

    -All state propaganda from all countries participating in WW1

    Go ahead, enlist yourself, hypocrite

  • Could you please provide us with some data regarding wealth inequality between citizens and politicians in China vs, say, the USA for comparison?

  • Are you enlisted in the armed forces of an EU country? Or are you just a militaristic hypocrite who wants to send others to die?

  • I'm happy to see China kept in its place until it can compete with America on the human rights it gives its citizens

    You mean the disappearing of tens of thousands of people who get kidnapped on the streets by militarized fascist police? Or are we talking about the highest imprisonment on Earth, with 1 in 5 black men going through prison?

  • 9/10 times, there's your problem right there...

  • My point being that actual CIA propaganda was a godsend to MLs. They can use the existence of it to deny anything bad about their movement

    The most nuanced discussion I've seen of communist crimes is in ML circles. Deportations of ethnic Koreans and Crimean Tatars in the USSR, excess repression during the eve of WW2, freedom of speech and discussion in the late USSR... All of that receives extensive detail discussion in ML works such as Albert Szymanski's "Human Rights in The Soviet Union" and "Is The Red Flag Flying", long discussion in "People's Republic of Walmart" with an entire chapter devoted to repressions in the USSR, and an in-depth analysis in Robert C. Allen's "Farm to Factory" and Alec Nove's "An Economic History of the USSR". I'll update you when I read Domenico Losurdo's book on Stalin.

    The fact that we don't uncritically swallow anti-communist propaganda fiction works such as The Gulag Archipelago, and refuse "historians" who worked with guesswork before the opening of the Soviet archives doesn't mean we deny atrocities. The point is that despite big mistakes in the construction of REAL socialist states, they've still been the most emancipatory and anti-imperialist projects on the face of the earth, and have brought untold good on the people who lived under them

  • Surely the proletarian way of writing is overly pompous using obscure latinisms?

    And no, I don't make a habit of mocking people for how they type, my original response was detailed and serious, but when the commenter above decided to become a smug shit, I lost any reason to respect them.

    Jump

  • epistemic style that treats ideology as a filter that outranks evidence

    cultivate the ability to withhold belief when the evidence is thin or messy

    flips the direction of inference so that evidence is recruited to serve the framework rather than constrain it

    competes with open inquiry

    status ritual in which fluency in canonical texts substitutes for empiricism

    Imagine unironically typing like that, lmfao

    Jump

  • Your original comment (translated to understandable English from your pompous-ass style): "tankies treat theory as dogma, disregard empirical evidence and data as propaganda, and mold their worldview as a contest to see who's more anti-western".

    My reply: "me being a tankie is actually the result of data comparisons between capitalist and AES states for the measurable empirical improvements in quality of life and the reduction in victims, together with the support for emancipatory projects elsewhere"

    Your reply: "tHaNkS foR pRoViNg My PoInT"
