You literally don’t know anything about Mao

if I were to say something horrifically racist in pretty much any company I can be fairly confident I would be told exactly where to shove it though

What Saturday morning cartoon do you live in bro?

The problem is who gets to decide what’s acceptable and what isn’t?

I don’t care who gets to decide as long as Nazism and pedophilia isn’t tolerated

I believe that if you were to take a random sample of humanity, wipe their memories and drop them on an alien world, capitalism would happen

Let’s think about that claim a little more carefully, why didn’t the Romans, the Greeks, the Persians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Arabs, the Sumerians, the Ancient Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Sumerians, the Maya, or the Inca develop capitalism

Why did it take 5,000 years after recorded history began for capitalism to emerge if it’s such a “natural phenomenon”

This was done in order to perpetuate and protect the status quo in the USA for geopolitical reasons, but is not necessary for capitalism to function

You really don’t see the contradiction in your claim? Let me spell it out; the “status quo” of the USA IS capitalism

what’s to stop me from accumulating wealth?

Same thing that would stop you from pulling your pants down and sitting on a friend’s carpet or unplugging their TV and walking off with it

You do not understand what words like anarchy, communism or capitalism mean

Capitalism is not a natural occurrence, it requires a state to function, planning, control and above all violence; no capitalist would honor a contract if there weren’t courts to enforce them, no capitalist would feel secure if there weren’t state agents protecting their property, no capitalist in history would’ve been able to create foreign markets without European armies conquering the world

You fundamentally do not understand the depth and scope of these discussions, you read a definition in Webster and you think you know about the way the world works? But you can’t even see the obvious facts right in front of your face

The GOP is directly inspired by the homophobic attitudes in both countries

lmao are you doing a shitty bit, what absolute fuckin nonsense, absolving western homophobes of responsibility and agency while simultaneously peddling a racist conspiracy theory, get a grip you shitlib

Capitalism in it’s true form was “I give you this, you give me that”

So you believe capitalism existed all the way back during the neolithic and beyond, were cavemen “true capitalists”? Capital isn’t a set of goods simply traded between people, it’s circulating money tied to productive property or alienated assets

Primitive exchange of goods requires the goods becoming the means and the ends even if money is an intermediary, under capitalism it’s capital (i.e. money) that becomes the end, while goods may or may not be the means of generation, and since money is the sole metric of success there must a set of people who work for capitalists to create that money and reproduce themselves, since goods are hidden behind said money

Imperial decline is so fascinating to watch

Real “Innocence proves nothing” hours

My North African grandfather lost a leg to untreated necrosis defending that gallic shithole from nazism, they can go assimilate his rotted leg

To be fair, those kinds of “anarchists” are just confused social liberals with no real theoretical grounding, it would be like comparing MLs to the worst of the neocon pseudo-trots who populate so much of western marxian space

It’s never a good idea to succumb to sectarianism for the sake of dunking on what is essentially an online “posting-style” Marxists of any type have to focus on the real and actual conditions of capitalism, not on old ghosts or liberals engaging in radical kayfabe

There are real anarchists out there, they’re just not online

Except the Catholics of course, can’t touch them

Religion in France is racialized as it is in most parts of the world, pretending otherwise is just a denial of reality and history, the French state couldn’t care less for secularism on its own merits, it only cares about religion in the context of the eternal “immigrant” communities who it refuses to actually integrate because of the continuous French colonial mindset and a 19th century conception of frenchness which is centered around white pan-europeanism

If secularism was the point, the french state would have launched a social crusade against the Catholic church decades ago

It’s not a coincidence the law was implemented in 2004 at the height of the war on terror

Because it’s none of your business what those girls wear, and it’s definitely not the state’s business

“Reading comprehension” is when you accept everything you read at face value, I’m not really surprised that’s something you believe

Ok so a tankie is anyone who questions the baseless assertions of western regimes, the truth isn’t actaully important to you, what matters is whether someone upholds obvious falsehoods and reinforces state propaganda but from the west

Got ya buddy

No it hasn’t, socialist agitation in the teeth of capitalist opposition did that

Without it westerners would still be working 16 hour days seven days a week without any safety nets while dying of lead poisoning

What’s a tankie?

That’s because you dont know what capitalism or socialism is

lmao I expected as much, like a fart in the wind they’re gone
