Just spam “from the river to the sea” all day every day.

We have literal documentaries doing exactly that.

I swear it’s like arguing with a toddler.

Imagine how they are feeling arguing with you, making up crazy imaginary scenarios in your head and refusing to explain them.

Yeah it must be because of evil internet communists that Ukraine is full of nazis

I’ve never been as ashamed of being a dev than after I joined the lemmyverse and kept reading this kind of takes from programming.dev.

We need to force devs to have more human contact.

It’s hard to tell without motion but he’s actually passionately stroking his braid.

The way China operates is completely the opposite of the way the US operates. Here is a video on Yanis Varoufakis explaining how.

Taiwan for one is richer, stronger and happier than China per capita so does that mean dictatoriship -> democracy is a better system

Everything in that sentence is factually untrue, I need to get some of the stuff you’re smoking because it must be crazy strong.

There’s no way to verify how other political system would have worked for China

It’s very easy to know. India and China have similar landmass, population, and got their independence at around the same time.

The difference between the two is that China’s people democracy is an objectively superior system to bourgeois dictatorships they have in India and Taiwan.

It’s ridiculous to compare mainland China with Taiwan, as that island is incredibly small and therefore much, much faster to develop, and it received a lot in investments from the USA as they need a strong ally at the PRC’s borders to support their hegemony. Look at south Korea for another example.

China is a gigantic country, larger than the USA, that was still aggrarian just 50 years ago. They are still developing and there is a large disparity in earning between the developed coastal areas in the east, and the undeveloped west. The prices you see on the app a from the coastal areas where salaries are similar to western Europe.

Marx wasn’t against the idea but he would have been surprised

Towards the end, Marx actually expected Russia to go through a communist revolution, and that it may even be the start of the revolutionary wave in Europe. See the preface for the 1882 Russian edition of the Communist Manifesto for reference.

Ah yes, famously communist, antifa, vegan, anti-cop the_donald.

I like this comparison, it’s actually interesting to think about.

Pretty much everyone tends to agree with the scientifical consensus that climate change is coming, whether they are capitalist or communist. The only people who disagree are those who are financially invested in oil, gas, or coal.

In a similar manner, the message that “communism is bad” comes from capitalist regimes that have a financial interest in preserving the status quo. If you want to understand people within a capitalist society, a really good way to do it is simply to follow the money.

Considering that just two weeks ago the canadian government for cheering for actual SS Nazis, that should be a surprise for no one.

8-4, he’s an early bird. He gets so much more worms than those 9-5 dummies.

I like that idea. I had to create an account on 3 different instances to be able to interact with the communities I want because of instance blocks, it would be nice not having to juggle them all the time.
