The dictatorship of capital is worldwide and doesn’t respect the borders of ‘countries’. The degree of despotism or authoritarianism seen in one place or another has to do with the intensity of the class struggle there. It’s most obvious during war-time or severe economic strife, where any pretenses of ‘freedom’ are generally tossed in the trash. Also, no where is ‘ruled by one person’. If you think that then your understanding of geopolitics is naive.
It’s not ‘capitalism vs. communist dictatorship’, it’s ‘bourgeoisie dictatorship vs. proletarian dictatorship’. If the abolition of class dictatorships is aimed at, only a communist revolution that abolishes class society can accomplish that. If not, then dictatorship is the state of affairs you want to preserve, not the communists
China is so socialist that independent labor unions are illegal
The transitory phase is called the dictatorship of the proletariat. It’s not equivalent to socialism - read State and Revolution. The DoTP also must be an international process to be successful. Tankies don’t understand the importance of the international revolution and think dotp = “socialism” = state capitalism because they don’t actually read Lenin, they just took Stalin’s word on what Lenin said
Actually reading Marx or Lenin is a great way to cure yourself of the tankie brain rot.
There are 2 types:
Marxist-Leninist - followers of the ideology of the Stalinist counter-revolution. These people are still around but are barely relevant anymore since the fall of the USSR.
Terminally online leftoid who thinks they’re a Marxist-Leninist, is really just a soc-dem who hates America and likes soviet aesthetics. Believes a ton of mutually contradictory shit because they don’t take communism seriously and get all their info from memes and other terminally online leftoids.
I very clearly asked you what you think democracy is and you went on some irrelevant spiel about authoritarian regimes. I still don’t know what you think democracy is. I don’t know how you could get confused over such a simple question but I hope you work out your issues.
I asked a question and your answer had nothing to do with the question I asked. I don’t know what to tell you at this point homie
I don’t know what that has to do with the topic. Unless you’re implying that people consent to living in a state of starvation, homelessness, exploitation, etc, and that’s why “democracy” has not fixed these problems.
If workers have control of the government, why would there still be a tiny minority that owns everything and a vast majority that owns nothing?
Poverty only exist in the US?
Last I messed with backtrack, it was basically just Debian pre-loaded with pen-testing and security software. I never thought to install it to my hard drive - I’m pretty sure it was not meant for that. I haven’t messed with Kali so I’m not sure how it’s different.
The several chickens that died for this: 😐
True democracy is when the majority (the workers) gets what it wants/needs over the minority (the rich). Does this sort of system prevail anywhere in the world?
Indeed, his associates say Mr. Singham has long admired Maoism, the Communist ideology that gave rise to modern China.
Replying with an article that refutes this claim is not on-topic?
China is about as far from “Marxist” as you can possibly be. The western bourgeoisie are probably jealous at how effective they are at outlawing and crushing the independent labor movement there.
“Okay, here are are options on the company ballot this quarter. The first choice is to lay off 500 of us and cut our pay by 15% to stay competitive, the second choice is to go out of business”.
Sounds cool and extremely different from regular capitalism.
Nobody who did any serious reading of Marx or Lenin could possibly stay a tankie. I hate these idiots
