In pursuit of counterrevolution and in the name of freedom, U.S. forces or U.S.-supported surrogate forces slaughtered 2,000,000 North Koreans in a three-year war; 3,000,000 Vietnamese; over 500,000 in aerial wars over Laos and Cambodia; over 1,500,000 in Angola; over 1,000,000 in Mozambique; over 500,000 in Afghanistan; 500,000 to 1,000,000 in Indonesia; 200,000 in East Timor; 100,000 in Nicaragua (combining the Somoza and Reagan eras); over 100,000 in Guatemala (plus an additional 40,000 disappeared); over 700,000 in Iraq;3 over 60,000 in El Salvador; 30,000 in the “dirty war” of Argentina (though the government admits to only 9,000); 35,000 in Taiwan, when the Kuomintang military arrived from China; 20,000 in Chile; and many thousands in Haiti, Panama, Grenada, Brazil, South Africa, Western Sahara, Zaire, Turkey, and dozens of other countries, in what amounts to a free-market world holocaust.

Yup, we did prove it. And the US only had to kill millions of people and spend trillions of dollars to do it.

Can you cite the work of communist theory that lays out this doctrine?

Yes. All of the scarcity that we experience in the USA is a result of things being deliberately structured that way. The lack of affordable housing, the lack of public transport, the lack of healthcare, the lack of livable wages, the lack of quality free education, the lack of access to healthy..

This.

Yup. It's not just neoliberalism either. The early thinkers who advanced liberalism were pretty clear that individual freedom was reserved for the wealthy elite. Those ideals never applied to the working class, because they viewed workers as subhuman.

It seems counterintuitive, but the core of fascism is the marriage of state and corporate power, and neoliberalism has been concentrating more and more power in corporate hands for decades now. Imo, neoliberalism makes fascism almost inevitable.

Never let anyone pull the '[insert a certain type of capitalism here] isn't real capitalism' card on you.

It's a common refrain from capitalists of all stripes, whether they're neolibs, libs, conservatives or even socdems.

You're not going to see that from institutions like Columbia or any other business because they only care about their bottom line. The fight has to come from working class people. There's no other way.

Columbia has an endowment of about $15 billion

idk what you want obama to do rn, now is no time to bomb a wedding

Finally someone speaking my language

Yeah, it's really terrible that people are just now starting to die in places like Gaza.

jason hickel: "These studies demonstrate that the government in China enjoys strong popular support, and that most people in China believe their political system is democratic, fair, and serves the interests of the people."

I'll be honest, I'm probably sticking with my t-shirts and basketball shorts.

Yup, China is far from perfect, but high-level corruption is also punishable by execution there. Meanwhile, the American oligarchy is working on stripping the country down for parts as we speak.

And, for all their faults, socialist/communist states have done far more to level the playing field and tear down class hierarchies than any capitalist state ever could. And they did it while under constant threat from the capitalist powers that wanted to destroy them.

Some corruption is probably inevitable until class society is totally abolished. So I think there is an important distinction: capitalism aims to perpetuate and strengthen class hierarchies, while communism aims to abolish them completely.

Not trying to dunk or anything, but it's important to keep in mind that if you grew up in the US or western Europe, then you likely learned almost everything you know about communism from capitalists. Most communist countries were/are much more democratic than people think.

No I will not debate you on Palestine. It's a genocide. The UN, the Special Rapporteur, OxFam, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, multiple US state department officials, the Lemkin Institute, and B'Tselem all say it's a genocide. I don't debate flat earthers either.

It's fun how capitalists say "we can't have socialism because people don't trust the state!" Mate, we don't trust the state because it is captured by capital and serves the interest of the capitalist class. It is precisely *because* of capitalism that no one trusts the state.

As a Stalinist, the biggest thing that annoys me about the term is the association with Khrushchev.

Like I'm gonna defend the guy who put the USSR on the path to capitalist restoration. 🙄
