Seems like a good time to lift the embargos so they can fix their infrastructure.

I read that as the peen is mightier than the sword and giggled

I’m pretty sure the answer is no.

You suck

That video literally shows the people that’re rioting and throwing Molotovs at military vehicles. This is also outside the square. Tankman is also the day before the riots and the tanks are leaving the square, not going into it.

I mean, if you need a legit journalist saying it, here’s a Western journalist that used to work for the Washington Post:

But, ultimately, there’s not going to be a new York Times article saying that China didn’t slaughter people for no reason because that’s against their goals as Western journalists. I guess you’d just have to believe that the news lies about things. But I guess you believe that the news always tells the truth and that they’re infallible.

What a funny way to ignore information that counters your viewpoints.

Well I can’t exactly quote CNN for you to show you the counter to Western propaganda, can I? Tell me a “legit source” that isn’t skewed by Western media.

I’ve lived in the Tampa Bay area my entire life, never evacuated before, and I left last night. Fuck Milton. Not worth riding this one out.

Because propaganda is effective.

Vanya did transition to Victor in the show.

You’re citing a capitalist finance website to prove your point about socialism. You seem to be confused between social democracy and democratic socialism. I understand because they seem so similar that they must be basically the same thing, right? Nope.

The Nordic model is a form of social democracy. They take many of the benefits that socialism provides and builds them into a capitalist economy. Democratic socialism is an actual form of a worker owned an operated economy.

If you’re ever in doubt, ask the question, “who owns the means of production?” If the answer is huge megacorporations and wealthy billionaires, then it’s a capitalist economy. If the answer is the working class, it’s socialist.

Beneath the surface of every great nation’s collapse is US Interference

I agree prison labor is just a roundabout way of getting away with slave labor and it shouldn’t be done. That being said, China has less slaves than the US and treats them half as badly.

The US has destroyed every socialist country in history that didn’t have a strong enough military to fight them off

None of those are socialist countries. They’re all capitalist

Russia devolved into capitalism. Funding a military is incredibly expensive and necessary when a communist country wants to exist in a world with the United States. This creates a militant economy that must be centrally governed to coordinate this military might. True democratic socialism is impossible as long as the United States exists as an imperialist force.

Weird because China is succeeding quite well.

It only takes one toke to go over the line
