  • Someone can’t get past liberal definitionalism and thinks that the goal of LGBT+ alliances are based on necessary and sufficient conditions (“attraction, specific, others don’t count” claims) instead of understanding the goal of opposing a line of oppression everywhere it reaches. The way homophobia works is very similar to transphobia, so the fight is perfect to combine. Put the oppressors all on the wall because this chain of phobias will only change focus if you don’t end it at the root.

    Then we have the gay fascists who want to just put others on the wall using similar oppression to appease their own oppressors. It’s the same function as fascists at the geographical edge of the imperialist/fascistic expropriation border.

    Saying this for the people listening not to you, turtle power. You’re an asshole and only shame can possibly make you reconsider your assholery



  • But they aren’t really swayed, they are playing the good guys to prevent riots. The role they fill, regardless of how any democrat personally feels, is the role of the small concession to prevent riot. It’s super helpful to capitalism to have a tiny outlet so that the major exploitation is ignored. It’s only “better” when you obsess with the short term goals and can’t see the projects over decades and across borders. Sometimes I get it, honestly, like I am never mad at comrades voting for the hope that trans and indigenous comrades aren’t genocided. But it’s just not good strategy to think about that decision for more than like 4 minutes a year because of the above stated functional argument.




  • Absurdly popular does not insinuate perfect, nor do I believe he was perfect nor all actions done in the government under his leadership. I do highly doubt these claims, seeing as they come from the guy who wrote the black book of communism (source for most of the wiki article) and Anne Applebaum included lol. If I had to guess, those people hated Stalin and the Soviet Union because an unplanned tragedy occurred which probably could’ve been forseen. During a drought and famine, the idea of sending people you can’t feed (or won’t give priority to because they are not working actively and improving the situation for all) to an island which is capable of being developed for agriculture to quickly do that isn’t the worst idea.

    biggest point out of this: don’t trust people who write nazi propaganda (black book of communism and Anne Applebaum) and then relook at the story



  • Oh wow, a poor country was still poor 4 years after fighting the most tragic and destructive war in history?? I’m hearing this for the first time…

    Stalin was as much of a dictator as any other leader with powers over the military (all in the western world, as far as I know) but otherwise was always working with the politburo and party. That’s what the CIA is admitting. I think determination of “dictator” or not is vibes based. What was he able to do that makes Stalin a dictator but let’s say Obama not?

    Stalin was a leader for the proletariat, maybe a leader of the dictatorship of the proletariat, but he was absurdly popular and beloved because he really represented the interests of the poor in that position.




  • I’m not first bringing ideologies to the masses, it’s first proving a method works and then explaining why and how. You do this through Analyze the rising maladies of a system, describe how they’ve come about and explain how the solution only moves in 1 direction, socialism. Now I’m not gonna waste time explaining at any more depth until you prove yourself to be someone at all worth my time here by showing you’ve read literally anything relevant to the discussion.

    I’m not more intelligent than the masses, no in fact I think that this is precisely only how you can think. There are those who have the time to develop certain skills which can be applied to reaching the intelligence and needs of the masses and those for whom that time is difficult and they build expertise in their specific fields. A vanguard is exactly the people who learn how to learn from the masses, not the opposite. Lenin was beloved for his ability to do this, and Stalin soon after with similar astonishingly high approvals.

    Let me remind you, you’re the one who thinks you’re smarter and better than those masses who had to perform revolution to improve their conditions. I think they’re just better than you


  • Lol is that your best fuckin example? You didn’t cite Marx lol you just misunderstood an analysis for a method and made a shit argument. You didn’t deserve a good reply and dont now. I’m all for whatever analyses come out to peacefully move forward, but you’re just preserving the current world for your benefit not trying to prevent some deaths or something. Millions die yearly to preventable causes which would end with global socialism.
