How so? How is being against AES not anti-comminist?
Why does AES always seems to end up with forced labor camps? I don't remember forced labor camps being a central part of socialist ideology...
A country can call itself socialist, that doesn't make it so.
So the arbiter of what is socialist is you? Not the revolutionaries who have actually worked on socialist projects
Yes, I can have an opinion on socialism without having been a socialist-revolutionary. That is correct. Spot on.
Sure you can have an opinion, but if its about something you know nothing about, and have not investigated then it is worthless. Not just to other people, but to yourself as well
I know you are, but what am I?
What have you actually done to help socialism then?
Are you a union organiser? Are you in a union? Which one? What party are you in? What projects do you support? What are you actually doing as a socialist? Other than voting for a liberal party every few years I mean.
My partner is a teacher and is in a union. We are both active in organizing and supporting. There are no unions for the industry I work in, so I work with hers.
Then you should know better than this bullshit, because you would be working with several of us. There is definitely not a teaching union that is not filled with MLs, education in particular has the highest number of us.
As opposed to you/hexbear being sole arbiters?
So America is AES? We lead the world in prision labor.
America bad does not imply China good.
China doing good in the world while America does bad does imply that though.
Cause you can hate one thing but like an other version.
The world is not black and white.
Been thinking about getting one so I can just regurgitate trite Redditisms and feel content contributing nothing to the minds of others.
How you like communism and hate communism at the same time? Its not black and white thinking, its just basic reality
