The problems with Capitalism run beyond the USA 😉

Give Blackshirts and Reds a read. It's shocking how similar the rise of fascism in Europe is to the rise in the US right now.

Capitalism is the problem. Trump is just a symptom.

Both can be true. How TF we have 4 years to produce a candidate against trump, and the best we got was walking corpse Biden 2.0 and then Kamala "I'm speaking while your homeland is genocided" Harris.

You have to read between the lines. This just gives them the option to label anybody they want as a “bot” with virtually no way to challenge them. They can now ban anybody they wish for posting content they don’t agree with (pro-gaza, anti-israel, anti-capitalist, etc).

Why? It originated as literally SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language). It only changed because of a trademark conflict.

Me: provides evidence from the CIA itself, directly related to the topic on hand

Another user: provides evidence that many/most ex-soviet citizens actually preferred Socialism vs the Shock Capitalism they experienced. (Read Shock Doctrine and Blackshirts and Reds)

You: nuh uhh! My great grandparents told me a story once!

How to summon the .ml warrior with this one simple step.

Yes indeed. I fight against misinformation and for human rights. I support and march alongside strikers. I confront Proud Boys and other fascists. I resist against ICE. I fight for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC rights. I am active in mutual aid in my community. I've helped put Progressives and Socialists in elected office. I'm organizing my community against fascism and capitalism that ruins our lives.

You? Well ... what have you accomplished lately?

That we’ve actually still have accounts of those who witnessed and experienced it first hand.

Yes of course. And there's Cubans in Miami who denounce Cuba. Nevermind that these people are all ex-land owners, factory owners, and capitalists who exploited the working class for their own benefit. Castro was kind enough to exile them instead of what Mao did.

Myth: Communism Killed 100 Million+ People

Debunked:

Death tolls often include WWII casualties, famines, and natural disasters, misattributed to communism.

Capitalist atrocities (Native American genocide, transatlantic slavery) dwarf these numbers.

Sources like the "Black Book of Communism" are ideologically biased and widely discredited.

Myth: "Communist countries have no food!"

Busted:

Famines (e.g., USSR 1921) were caused by war/sanctions, not socialism.

Socialist states often had better nutrition than capitalist peers (e.g., Cuba’s food security vs. US food deserts).

Capitalist countries waste 40% of food while millions starve.

A good book to read is Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism by Kristen Ghodsee. So yea, read some books. Or rely on anecdotes 2 generations removed lol

Blocking you, I have no desire to continue this thread.

Essentially, “He was bad, but not THAT bad, that’s just western propaganda”

"Even in Stalin's time, there was collective leadership. The Western idea of a dictator within the communist setup is exaggerated.".

"tankies" though, amirite?

the list of excuses goes on.

A much more convenient excuse is that the USA is telling the truth about USSR while simultaneously executing millions of communists in South America, Africa, and Asia and lying about pretty much everything regarding anti-capitalism over the past century.

We're taking red back.

Why would I change instances because people are misinformed about MLs?

There's plenty of rude people here are you kidding? People are rude to me just because I'm on lemmy.ml lmfao...

I guess. I don't use Reddit's AI. But Digg specifically billed itself as Reddit + AI. I got early beta access, and it was exactly that: Reddit + shitty AI summaries.
