Tbf who can keep up with the names when its a revolving door of boring lackeys.

member of the axis of evil

least propagandized westerner

Libs when voting for the “lesser evil”

democratic island

Mainstream media is such a joke lmao.

Yet another daesh terrorist attack against non US-aligned states.

They’re completely fine lmao, literally just go and visit hong kong and macao.

they just don’t want a stronger china that challenges the world financial dictatorship whom germany forms part of.

regular people from the imperial core want things to stay as they are because the current status quo benefits them more often than not.

i swear these idiots think history started 3 years ago and taiwan had no connection to China.

jesus christ, do you not know that taiwan was the retreat base of the losing faction of the civil war? they’re literally chinese and speak mandarin and other variation of dialects coming from mainland lmao. the kuomintang ruled with an iron fist for decades up until recently, they also purged any opposition on the island (look up the White terror), isn’t it curious how all these “free” democracies were imposed by force?

The state is a system that reconciles class contradictions, in socialism that state resolves them in favor of the proletariat. It isn’t a distinct class.

This is wrong, Lenin in State and Revolution precisely points out that this was Kautsky view of the state. The state is not a reconciliatory tool, it is a tool for a class to dominate the others. When we talk about a dictatorship of the proletariat we talk about seizing the state and use it to oppress the capitalist class not to reconciliate. Make the capitalist serve their historical mission of organizing and developing the productive forces but strip them off all political power.

Another thing i would like to point out is about the withering of the state. It should be understood that the state as a tool for organizing production, is not going away, but the state as a tool of class oppression is what is going to wither away.

right-wing extremist… LiKe a sTaLiNiSt cULt

they did this without a 100 email chain?

Did they really? Lmao nothing of value was lost.

Butchering the definition, imperialism is the monopolist stage of capitalism, specifically the monopoly of finance capital. This can be expanded but there is no point in doing so here.

The monopoly on finance capital is already formed by a cartel of mostly american+european financial institutions and so on. These countries are what we call imperialist, we do not call Russia imperialist simply because they do not have this monopoly and are actively fighting against it, their future ambitions are a story for another day.

Let’s say that somehow the cartel completely disappeared and banks were to start from zero again, a bunch of local banks would emerge all around the world. As time went on, the most efficient banks would inevitably best its competitors, consolidate their position and gain increasingly more market share, until it becomes a local monopoly, then they go global and the process repeats until a global monopoly is formed, this is what happens on every single industry.

This is an inevitable outcome of capitalism simply due the nature of capital growing, capital stagnates when it faces competition so capitalists inevitably organize into cartels to consolidate a monopoly. The only way to do some sort of “checked capitalism” is to completely strip capitalists off political power through a violent revolution, like China did.

When Cowbee says that capitalism decays and leads into imperialism this is what i think he means, and he is right.

I’m an enjoyer of “checked capitalism” as in a communist party holds all the political power.

99% of the people that think capitalism is awesome, are not remotely aware of what capitalism is.

wow i’ve never seen this strategy before!

When private property is so ingrained in your brain that you think communism is when more people have land.

The tragedy of commons straight up describes capitalism, profits are privatized and costs are socialized, how can people think this is a refutation of communism.

My goverment fucks me so everyone else must be getting fucked amirite guys!?
