You are certainly American but that’s especially stupid, is it a troll?

Absolutely but authoritarian states are at a even higher risk in that regard and you got enough powerful enemies as a socialist already. One of the biggest issue for Arnachism next to the absurd amount of very different interpretations is ironically Socialism/Communism, parts of many revolutions had Arnachist ideas and so did big parts of the historic worker movments (Black is the flag of the Arnachist and Red of the Socialist worker) but they never really managed to get any of them in to the new system even after a successful revolution. It’s all a very tough question and I wish I had good answers but I fear the truth is none of us dose, at least we oppose fucking capitalism I guess, that’s a start and history has shown it can spread to bigger parts of society in some cases.
There is a lot that’s wrong with Cuba and I certainly wouldn’t want to live there but it’s one of if not the only better places (in terms of things like access to healthcare, housing and such) in south America despite heavy sanctions and the dictatorship but I have absolutely no idea how they still exist, it’s a fucking miracle considering the the circumstances and they do it at very high costs in terms of technological progress. What I always viewed as huge mistake is the UDSSR or China as partner, they never cared much about the ideology (they did kind of care for a perverted version supporting some parts whenever it was convinient for the powerful but really not much) and fought for their own interests, doing so wasn’t/isn’t just a risk to your reputation which would be fine but also your autonomy and many of their goals aren’t any less imperialistic than Americas.
My main issue with authoritarian attempts to achive anything close to socialism failed because of coruption and similar shit if they didn’t just use it as nothing but a talking point in the first place so I don’t see that as viable option to achive any kind of equality ether.
I don’t see how you would protect yourself in that scenario, you seem to think they just let it happen on purpose which certainly wasn’t the case, America is just a lot more powerful than any third world country. I do agree that the rich will always fight any attempt because they loose power and money from such a move and as soon as you interfer with imperialistic interests you are fucked byond recovery anyway.
Yea, because they just gave up and certainly didn’t try to defend themswlf, sadly even a gun is of no use as poor third world country facing the world power, I can’t see a way to prevent that.
Yea, the CIA got rid of them and installed one of the worse dictators in history. Luckily the fight against communism is over so I have my doubts it would happen that way again but especially for a poor country I see no chance whatsoever be that with or without violence :(
Well, Chile was a democratic election but then came the CIA because those nasty people wanted their own resources for themself!
Despite the tankie dislikes you are 100% right and idk about Communism but I definitely believe in democratic socialism!
The tough issue is that while they did end slavery they never changed ownership and slaves didn’t own anything so all the people in this thread arguing how to identify actual victoms are idiots! It’s the same debate we have with cononialism just on a far smaller scale and there is no easy solution but none isn’t sufficient ether!
I just wish Mozilla didn’t just tread Gecko as part of Firefox, the few who tried developing on it came to the conclusion that it’s not sustainable if the engines developer doesn’t give a fuck about you! :/
Try to get your head out your ass, that hrlps with thinking! ;)
