None of what you advocate can happen without revolution, and as a certain philosopher and activist said, “a revolution is not a dinner party.” It will be violent, and many people will die.
You can either have that, or you can have the Democrats/Republicans pretending to be the party of civility while they commit genocide. No ruling class in history has ever given up power peacefully.
South Koreans generally don’t have an issue with their northern siblings, but they hate China, Japan, and to a lesser extent, the USA.
You hate communists yet allow communists to live in your head rent-free. Hmm, interesting.
The USA is 100% a fascist dictatorship from the perspective of working class BIPOC both within and without its borders. If you are rich and/or white and cisgender, it’s a representative democracy.
The DPRK is popular in the ROK, but it’s hard for me to see North or South Koreans supporting another Korean War. Most South Koreans, in my experience (lived there for years and married one as an ESL teacher) view Japan, the USA, and (sadly) China as the enemy.
I watched and loved the entirety of DS9 and never thought that Sisko did anything wrong. Maybe I should rewatch, I don’t know.
Are you reading any communist texts or joining any communist parties?
Russia is fascist because fascism is when you oppose the USA.
Welcome to the team! May I ask what radicalized you?
South Korea has potemkin villages on its side of the border. The government pays people to live there for a few weeks out of the year. Otherwise they’re empty. Source: been there.
Liberals defending Nazis, exhibit one zillion.
Nothing is connected. We are all individual monads floating in a void, our interactions mediated entirely by the market.
I forgot, it’s only mature intelligent high-IQ adults who lick the boot of slavery and genocide.
Are you me? My partner is from South Korea, and her parents grew up under a fascist dictatorship and were literal slaves (one is a small business owner now, the other is basically his live-in domestic servant). They’ve actually been really nice to me but they abused their kids pretty severely. My spouse likes them (from a distance—she has a harder time with them in person), refuses to go to therapy, and is basically a Berner who hates China. Other than that she’s pretty cool though.
America might be flawed but it’s still overall a force for good in the world.
Biden might suck but we should still vote for Democrats on the state or local levels and participate in the [nonexistent] primary to put pressure on Democrats because they are clearly better than Republicans and progressives would never lie to us (cough bernie cough fetterman cough AOC).
Communism is impossible because it goes against human nature.
China is capitalist.
Organizing for revolution in the USA is hopeless.
It’s impossible to scientifically understand human societies, even though humans are part of nature and nature can be scientifically understood.
We can solve all our problems with technology alone. There’s no need to change anything else.
Things will be better in the future even if I don’t actually do anything to make them better. (This one has been an issue for me. “The future” for a Marxist like myself isn’t terribly different from religious visions of paradise.)
I mean, it’s the most powerful empire ever to exist, one built on ongoing slavery and genocide. It’s difficult to find global problems that don’t lead back to the amerikkkan ruling class.
“Anyone who questions America’s might is insane! I am a normal person!”
You definitely know you’re winning when you’re constantly complaining about your opponent. You hate communists yet allow them to live in your brain rent-free. Interesting.
Have to wonder if all these stories about how “the military is fucking up” are just there to justify more funding (even though the military is actually fucking up).
Are you suggesting that a state built on ongoing genocide and imperialism like Canada, or a backward, semi-colonial, semi-feudal country like India, are models that anyone in their right mind should follow?
