I mean obviously if socialism didn't want a US backed coup they wouldn't dress like that.....

Wearing all that red just really gets the US going into full bloodlust.

And they wonder why we get all these migrants at our southern border. Maybe if they hadn't destabilized the entire region to the south people wouldn't be trying to escape those places.

It's shocking to me that people aren't able to connect the dots here.

I don't always agree with everything you post, but this is >100% on point.

It'd be boring here if we all agreed on everything. Disagreement is how we learn from each other. :)

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreed again. Keep fighting the good fight friend

I think about this every time some centrist claims that no leftist system has ever worked.

I mean the big ones people like to point at (Rushia and fucking Nazi Germany) sure as shit weren't doing communism or socialism

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (44 children)

I don't think anyone points at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system. They were literally fascist lol

I don't think anyone points at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system

I've seen many idiots do that unfortunately

Both Crowder and Shapiro have claimed this. They point out that the Nazi party was the 'National Socialist German workers' party' and claim that's enough for it to be socialist, and then also claim Russia is a communist country.

Crowder and Shapiro are complete idiots.

Idiots? On the right? Arguing in bad faith? You don't say...

The USSR was a communist country. A normal use of that term is that a country communist is one that's run by a communist party.

If you mean it didn't achieve communism, well duh communism is a hypothesized society achieved through socialism where the state ceases to exist. No socialists, including the people of the USSR, would think that their nation-state has achieved communism as that's oxymoronic. They would think of it as a transitional socialist state.

There are definitely some folks that see “National Socialism” as the party name and look no further. Fortunately, I don’t think it’s a strong majority, but they pop up online.

Reminder that there's a bird called titmouse

Oof I feel concerned about those people.

I guess it's similar to "an" caps.

Nazi Germany wasn't left and the USSR, which included more than Russia, was a transitional socialist country lol.

Not sure if alternative spelling or if your autocorrect really likes controversial vtuber Uruha Rushia.

"Communism never works out"

I fucking wonder why!

I don't think this meme format could ever die.
