  • Bringing up fucking rojava, that's how I know. No support for socialists who managed to change the world like the Bolsheviks or the Cuban revolution, or socialists like Gaddafi and Nasser.

  • Oil tanker sabotage crew were poised to cut more cables when caught, Finland says

  • The captain is Georgian and the crew is Georgian and Indian according to the article, why saint Petersburg?

  • Bingo. The only "worthy" leftist movements in these people's minds are the ones that failed, because they weren't tested under real world conditions. Anarchism in the Spanish civil war, Allende, those are fine to glorify because they ultimately lost, and that way you can keep your moral high ground and standards by worshipping an idealised version of them rather than real-life socialism with material and historical costraints

  • Lmao, the Rojava are a minor movement in a very restricted area, and will exist for as long as the US is interested in their presence in the region.

    how you got "doesnt support leftist movements" for defining tankie

    Hey, I'm not the one denying every socialist experiment in history and decrying it as "authoritarian" without having done any serious study on it, and sharing the same point of view on it with libs.

  • I'm a communist and not from the US, saying that the democrats are at the left is laughable

  • From "leftist" to democrat real quick there mate.

    And yes, platforming people who think trans don't deserve rights is harmful and the left rightfully should criticise it

  • Spoken like a true lib who hasn't grabbed a history book in their lives. You have done exactly ZERO study of this so-called "authoritarianism", its characteristics, actual comparisons with western systems, and the reasons for certain degrees of oppression in different systems. Your entire analysis is vibes-based, and doesn't hold up to the slightest scrutiny, and leads you to being on the side of the US Department of State propaganda on 99% of occasions. Remember, people called us tankies 20 years ago for opposing the invasion of Iraq, because "Saddam is a rabid dog".

  • safegaurds and checks that our system did have

    Uh... Assuming you're from the west. The US was founded on slavery and genocide, and western Europe got to where it is through colonialism. What checks and safeguards did our countries ever have?

  • Censoring the far-right doesn't make it go away. It just pushes it underground where it becomes even more radical outside of the moderating influence of the mainstream.

    I beg to differ. The situation was MUCH better in this regard in Western Europe 15-20 years ago when being openly far-right would get you socially ostracized for the most part, and media didn't routinely bring far-right mouthpieces on national TV.

    That root cause is the total loss of faith institutions coupled with economic insecurity felt by the working class

    I do agree with that though, that's why I'm a commie who wants economic security for everyone (i.e. guaranteed employment and housing) and strong and trustworthy institutions (such as powerful, free and public healthcare and education and pensions, and the end of austerity)

  • Good luck dealing with the current far-right inthe government in the US and soon in the EU countries though

  • Yeah, if only in either of those two countries people were seeing measurable improvements in their lives, approved of their government, and had hope for the future...

  • You have a ball on a trampoline. Wind might knock the ball around, but its very likely to return to the center of the trampoline. This is a psuedo stable arrangment.

    No, it's a local minimum, not pseudo stable. It's just not the absolute minimum

  • Did... Did you just equate the former socialist state that was the Soviet Union to the contemporary proto-fascist and capitalist Russian Federation that literally emerged out of the dismantling and auctioning of the former??
