Adventure Time and Total Recall

Basically everything around you is not there by happenstance but because of hundreds of years a very specific economic arrangement of society. You would be hard pressed to find anything touched by humans in the last 200 years that doesn’t have capitalist contradictions embedded into it

It really is. This, plus the creation of a large homeowner class, is the most effective thing America has ever done against socialism in the US. Absolutely destroyed class solidarity by fabricating a new “middle class” that somehow everyone is part of. Tying the majority of the population’s life to the imaginary line will make a lot of people fight and die to protect line go up.

They killed dozens of unarmed soldiers, hanging them by their necks and immolating their corpses. Many of the deaths were done by the mob and they started the lethal violence. They had hundreds of guns out of nowhere, likely supplied by the CIA. Good riddance to these fascist, west-collaborating “students” and the dupes who followed them.

Liberals always handwring at their enemies suppressing internal problems with unsophisticated violence, but that’s often the only tool these nations have to sustain their own existence. They don’t have sophisticated surveillance deep states with media narrative control, just simple brute force. It’s why Liberals were aghast at “Assad using barrel-bombs on his own population” - the preferred method is to destroy street movements via a complex suite of spying, targeted media narratives, sheepdogging, hidden plain-clothes operatives, targeted assassinations of leadership like how Ferguson and the 2020 riots were handled. Assad had one button to have his nation continue to exist, and it was “drop the barrel bombs on the jihadists hiding in apartment complexes” so he pressed it. That makes him a giant villain to Liberals, despite their own funding of jihadists being the very reason he had to push that button.

China at the time of Tiananmen was an unsophisticated state in its suppression capabilities. It had one button to deal with the revolt and continue to exist. I don’t believe it was a mistake for them to push it. You can contrast this to how the Hong Kong colonialist petty bourgie revolt was squashed, with 0 deaths. China would obviously prefer 0 deaths, they just didn’t have the capabilities at the time.

There’s a difference between quickly suppressing a color revolt that is killing soldiers vs. invasions and coups that kill and displace millions of people. If Tiananmen revolt had spread or succeeded then a LOT more people would have died, and China would now be a western puppet instead of a sovereign nation.

One of these is not like the other

Fascism has only ever been defeated through violence, not through “changing people’s minds”

Why is aggressive a bad thing?

Communist

The one good reason for crypto is dodging sanctions, and that’s an entirely artificial thing that could be addressed by just… not having sanctions and using normal fiat currency

I have to admire the persistence and endurance of crypto bros tbh. One million scams in a row and they still legitimately fool themselves into thinking number one million and one is the redeemer of humanity and not yet another scam.

That or they are full of shit con artists lying through their teeth who know it’s a scam but want to profit off it.

At this point it’s like 50:50

Sankara supported the USSR and DPRK, just like all actual communists do

I’d ask for a hit. It’s painfully obvious how middle class you are

Being an anti-communist leftist still makes you an anti-communist
