Nato is as much a “mutual defense” pact as sea lions are lions. These guys bombed Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq and countless other nations. The members of Nato have repeatedly cooperated with each other, using the military networks built through the alliance to wage proxy wars, perform coups, destabilise regions of the world at a scale never before seen in human history.

You might as well call the axis a mutual defense alliance lmao.

I mean America is a fascist country though. After all, it still has legalised slavery and killed millions of innocent people in this century alone. It’s only natural for such a country to elect fine specimens just as Trump or Biden.

But there are some in this thread who would pretend Harris is more pro-genocide than Trump, which is demonstrably false.

Is it? She’s the one who is the VP of the organization funding the genocide. I don’t recall Trump directly funding genocide, even going out of his way to circumvent US law. Maybe he did, wouldn’t put it past him, but given the information I have at least, Kamala and Joe Biden are demonstrably, empirically more pro-genocide than Trump, who remember, has already been president in the past.

Literally the entire political analysis of liberals on this issue is based on nothing but vibes. Trump is worse than Biden/Kamla on genocide because he has more bad guy molecules in his brain of some dumb shit.

Israel, for whatever fucking reason, has us by the balls.

They don’t. Their military is entirely dependent upon America. Israel is essentially America’s 51rst state. I mean, Congress even passed a law to treat IDF soldiers as if they were American soldiers.

You still didn’t answer the question.

He did, you just lack reading comprehension.

The ruling elite was the Communist party, mostly people near the top who were able to obtain key government positions that they would exploit for personal gain especially in later years of USSR.

The Latter years of the USSR are notorious for being fucked, but this does not address the middle or early years.

Mentioning that some guy was Ukrainian with in the regime while not mentioning Holodomor is OG 🤡

Ah yes, the famine which affected all of the Soviet Union (and Kazakhstan more in terms of deaths per capita) which even the inventors of the narrative of genocide (Robert conquest) no longer call genocide.

Must he nice being a communist while enjoying benefits of western society lol

I love the benefits western society! I get to enjoy half my income go to some landleech and fund war crimes in the middle east! I can’t wait to see which climate change fueled disaster kills me, or maybe the fascist death squads will be the ones to do me in!

With that much money, he could just build an actually normal and useful town.

In the US, innovators like Elon Musk

Should have out this first so I didn’t waste my time reading those first few paragraphs.

I mean, if you get into any real depth with math, you are going to reach a point where you can’t use conveniently use words to describe the symbols being manipulated.

As an example for the math I am doing literally right now, I very much prefer using C⁺_R compared to “semi circular arc in the upper half of the complex plane with radius R”, or M⁺(f(z)) which means “Maximum of the magnitude of the function f(z) over C⁺_R”, which if I were to write out in full, would just become a clusterfuck.

Also you still wouldn’t be able to get rid of symbols because some symbols are placeholders and straight up don’t have any meaning in natural language. This occurs often in physics as well, not just pure maths. For example, the laplace transform of any function is written as a variable of “s”, but “s” doesn’t have a clear meaning (at least as far as I know).

I personally lost all interest in math because there are way too many opinionated or non-standard symbol definitions

That seems like a strange reason to quit math since most symbols are pretty well agreed upon, and maths has little to do with the actual notation either way.

I would have quit math if I had to do algebra with names instead of letters.

Would be based if it happened, but it could never happen under the UN as it exists

Complain more on the same internet invented mostly by the country you hate?

Says the guy from the country which is by far the bigger drain of Industrial products in human history (you owe the planet something on the order of $50 trillion from the trade imbalance alone iirc). And that’s not counting for hundreds of millions killed from pollution, poverty, wars, co2 emissions and so on.

No, they’re not the same. None of us are buying it.

The American empire is the American empire regardless of who is in charge. Let’s get off our great-man theory high horse and actually analyze material conditions

But its expanded arsenal is fast approaching the size of Pakistan’s and Israel’s

Lmao, the Zionist times casually forgetting that their beloved Israel is officially not supposed to have nukes.

“Regime” is a derogatory method of describing a group

Not really, I’ve heard it be used in a neutral context to describe not just groups, but ways of doing things.

But at least in this case, it is being used in a derogatory way to describe a country which has brought untold amounts of suffering to so many people on the planet, and continues to be a capitalist hellhole. Like, I have never met an English man who doesn’t hate the UK government, and all of them would be on board with calling it a “regime” (derogatory).

Sorry, force of habit. But the point applies

There is a strong chance that even if Biden Kamla wins the election, the GOP will simply pull a coup like they did in 2000, or tried in 2021. The dems will almost certainly do nothing to resist, and may in fact even willingly hand over power like they did in 2000.

Even if we are under US hegemony, we don’t have a horse in the race. US foreign policy is dependent on the decades of built up institutions and material forces beyond any individual’s control. There is no meaningful difference depending on who is president besides optics.

insurrectionist

Insurrection against the US government is not a bad thing.

nuke gaza, beating protestors, ensuring ukraine is wiped out

This is happening right now under Biden. Casualties in Gaza are estimated to be on the order of 200,000 (the official numbers have stayed around 40,000 for so long now because the health ministry’s capabilities have been decimated). Protestors are being beating, not just in the US tbf, also across the whole of the “democratic” and “free” west. Ukraine has been utterly failed by the western powers who have opposed both a peaceful settlement to the conflict or fully committing. Once the war ends, it doesn’t matter if Biden or Trump is in charge. Ukraine will be looted again just like Russia in the 1990s.

There is not too many of us in India. India is an urbanizing society, meaning that there is a large amount of migration from rural areas to urban areas, leaving urban areas with a surplus population and driving down urban wages. This is a process that all capitalist countries went through at some point in their lifespans, including England, whose example Marx analyses 200 years ago. Back when its population was on the order of 10 million (it is over 80 million today).

By providing full employment, the communist countries were able to industrialize very rapidly while maintaining decent wages. It is a capitalism problem.
