I’d say having a senile old man as the head of a country is much more ‘outrageous’

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?

Wild that they let some nazis survive. Hope they at least put them to good use for labor as reparations.

In the capitalist countries they were given cushy leadership positions instead lmao as you’d expect

Here’s the thread in question btw. The mods left up OP’s comments that had some semblance of effort.

OP claimed putler was trying to bring back the USSR or some shit here lmao. At least OP deleted it.

I don’t think most people on this thread like you very much either lol

I have not seen anyone there advocating for capitalism though?

Damn it’s nice to see the comments are surprisingly evenly split between hating on it and actually being reasonable. Quite a difference from when redditors first moved in here last year.

I guess the more people talk about it, the more people actually visit it for themselves and form their own opinions.

Just liberals siding with fascists over leftists like they always do.

Finally, a sane LW user. The amount of projection from westerners in this thread is ridiculous.

No wonder then that 90% of the Soviet population voted to stay in the Union, but of course that didn’t stop its overthrow because capitalists had already taken it over by then.

A poll in 2009

As time passes though, the capitalist propaganda that kids in these places grow up with will probably start to outweigh the lived experiences of worsened living conditions after capitalists overthrew the USSR that their parents had. It’s sad.

Lemmy.world already exists unfortunately

I do miss some of the subreddits though

Lol maybe “socialists” who watch vaush or some other pedo

Lmao

Though I guess this is who some of these videos are for. Well meaning (I hope) liberals who are still on the fence about socialism for some reason.

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

The perfected form

💀

Incredibly based.
