Then there’s the whole silencing of Hong Kong, and I don’t now enough to say what happened there, so I won’t. Just know something did.

I. NO INVESTIGATION, NO RIGHT TO SPEAK

Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn’t that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?

It won’t do!

It won’t do!

You must investigate!

You must not talk nonsense!

“The Soviet Union liberated Europe from fascism, and Europe will never forgive them for it.”

The invisible white supremacy at the center of liberalism: “You can’t believe what those people say about their country; they’re inherently untrustworthy. Only the word of white people is credible.”

The fact that you and I are allowed to post about America’s past transgressions and speak highly critically of the government (and believe it or not, I do that quite a lot) is proof that we as a global superpower are freer than them

I’ll be sure to tell this to my friend who got his skull cracked and phone stolen by cops for protesting our involvement in Israel’s genocide.

Compared to what?

Unless we’re calling substantial swathes of Amerika fundamentally uncreative and fundamentally inhuman

Just after Kremlin stops funding nazis in my country

I would’ve thought you would appreciate the Nazis since back in '41 they brought you the liberation from Russia you so sorely desire

Supporting Israel or health insurance companies is advocating for violence.

It’s still projection. You are incapable of caring about the genocide of millions, and so you assume that everyone else is too.

P.S.

war thing everyone gets so invested in yet no one does anything about beyond participating in thinly veiled socialization rituals and including symbols of support into their wardrobes and memes.

Communism allows everyone to pretend to have free stuff by declaring those that actually make it less than human, and thus less than citizens.

Your crops are picked by exploited immigrants, the coltan in your electronics mined by African child slaves, and the electronics themselves assembled on 14-hour shifts by sweatshop workers under capitalism. And you still have to pay for them.

What you’re describing are colonialism and slavery, both of which are time-honored, bedrock capitalist institutions.

Is your point that you’re an asshole, because that’s the only thing you’ve managed to prove

you’re just insane

Wow, who would have guessed the social darwinism defender was ableist

Had they been forced to, that would simply be slavery.

Having a mutual obligation to care for others in your community is exactly the same as being rounded up at gunpoint, ripped from your homeland, shipped to a field or a mine halfway across the world, and forced to toil all day every day for barely enough to survive on until you inevitably succumb to the horrible conditions inflicted upon you

It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment. Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.

-J. Stalin

If it walks like a liberal and talks like a liberal, it’s a liberal.

That’s about the level of response I’d expect from a lib to inconvenient facts

Hey, what happened at Standing Rock?

In your own words, what is fascism?

Since you brought up Yemen, it’s interesting to compare Google image results for the Yemen genocide and the alleged Uyghur genocide. Search the former and you get pictures of destroyed towns, columns of refugees, mass graves, and starving people. But Google “Uyghur genocide” and it’s nothing but pictures of protests in Western countries. You would think that the Uyghur people, being much wealthier than the Yemenese and receiving much more attention from Western journalists, would have an easier time getting those pictures out there.

“All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake ‘public opinion’ for the benefit of the bourgeoisie.”
