Spoken like a true shitlib

Lemm.ee: Where you can be a fascist but still complain about other instances

He’s gonna ban american and “israeli” maintainers too then, I guess?

Lemmy.world already exists unfortunately

I do miss some of the subreddits though

Fucking dumbass didn’t even do 2 seconds of googling lmfao

Just as capitalist states are “authoritarian” against working class interests, socialist states are “authoritarian” against capitalist interests.

The state is a tool for one class to oppress another. The goal of (most) communists is to transition from capitalism — where the capitalist class is in power — to a stateless, classless communist society via socialism — where the working class is in power.

Public perception of which is more “authoritarian” therefore depends on which class is currently in power and is able to manufacture consent, and that is the capitalist class in the vast majority of the world right now since the USSR’s overthrow.

• What is “Authoritarianism”?

It’s defense because the US military industrial complex is “defending” its profit margins by creating instability far enough away that it won’t affect them, but that they can profit off of

Incredibly based.

the US facilitated a genocide in my country

Lmao the irony.

Go outside and touch some grass. Sounds like you just want to get mad for no reason.

anytime you mention America

Ah the country literally committing a genocide right now?

Fitting pfp

When a liberal says they’re a centrist

The centre in question

Certainly not as much as they used to since capitalists overthrew the USSR.

Reminder that the empire from Star Wars is a stand-in for the US, while the rebels represent the Viet Cong.

Occupied territories yes.

And there’s a US colony committing a genocide in Palestine right now.

What

Same thing that would happen if sanctions on Afghanistan were lifted. Regular people’s lives would improve as the country could import what they need. Cuba is really lacking in cement and medical supplies for example iirc (though their medical system and education is world-class), and they can’t import them cuz of the embargo.

Obviously not much would change in the US, aside from some people realizing socialism isn’t too bad when you’re not a tiny country sanctioned and blockaded by the most war-mongering nation in the world.

authoritarian, totalitarian form of government generally know for suppressing opposition through force

killings of ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine, like Donbas, DPR, and LPR, by the coup gov for resisting.

Ukraine gov using this as an excuse to suppress the left.

Hmm…

I assume you mean this one?

The situation in Ukraine is an inevitable escalation in the war that started in 2014 with the US-backed fascist coup in Ukraine that goes against the interests and wishes of Eastern Ukrainians

and the subsequent killings of ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine, like Donbas, DPR, and LPR, by the coup gov for resisting.

To be clear, I don’t support the invasion per se. In fact, its goal of suppressing fascism in western Ukraine seems to have kinda backfired from this after all, with the Ukraine gov using this as an excuse to suppress the left.

But the point is, what else could’ve they done? The US had meticulously blocked off all other options over the years. Russia had already tried to join NATO multiple times from even before the USSR’s overthrow and have been denied (since it’s an imperialist org whose entire purpose is to suppress socialism globally, and particularly supress Russia) and they already had the Minsk agreements which the US sidelined through the coup. Not doing something about it would lead to the continued killing of ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine by the coup gov, and NATO getting even closer to Russia since the post-2014 US puppet gov doesn’t abide by the Minsk agreements.

Seems reasonable to me. Specially with the Amnesty International report in the replies to it.

Way to completely misrepresent their position lmao

Adventure time 💣 :D
