Speaking of, a new translation of Capital I just dropped.
“Citizens” 🙄 Not every person is a citizen; I’ve got a pet peeve about this.
That is the famine I’m talking about.
Neither Stalin nor Mao were genocidal. Famines had been a common occurrence in Russia and China throughout recorded history. Soon after their socialist revolutions, Russia and China experienced one more famine, and have not experienced one since. They ended famines.
Horseshoe theory is horseshit, and Pol pot was as much a communist as Hitler was a socialist, which is to say not at all.

Everything isn’t capitalism, but fascism is always funded by the capitalist class. In fact it can’t get far without it. Fascism doesn’t just randomly sprout out of the ground; it’s not as organic & grassroots as most people think. Fascism is always a false revolution, because the capitalist class always remains in power. It’s what the capitalist class falls back on when liberal democracy starts to fail them. It’s when the capitalist class goes mask off. That’s what Lenin meant by “fascism is capitalism in decay.” Michael Parenti: Rational Fascism
How did January 6 happen? With a whole bunch of funding from rich motherfuckers.

The Nation: Trumpism: It’s Coming From the Suburbs
But scapegoating poor whites keeps the conversation away from fascism’s real base: the petite bourgeoisie. This is a piece of jargon used mostly by Marxists to denote small-property owners, whose nearest equivalents these days may be the “upper middle class” or “small-business owners.” […] Trump’s real base, the actual backbone of fascism, isn’t poor and working-class voters, but middle-class and affluent whites. Often self-employed, possessed of a retirement account and a home as a nest egg, this is the stratum taken in by Horatio Alger stories. They can envision playing the market well enough to become the next Trump. They haven’t won “big-league,” but they’ve won enough to be invested in the hierarchy they aspire to climb. If only America were made great again, they could become the haute bourgeoisie—the storied “1 percent.”
The very fact that you posted this is all the citation anyone needs.
Everything coming from you is phony because you’re a big fat phony!
Okay, pseudonymous person on the internet, I’ll definitely take your word for it over a peer reviewed Nature paper.
That’s proven and quite famous russian propaganda. Including that in their study has me doubting their motivations.
Sure, Jan. Everything people don’t like is quite famously Russian propaganda these days.
★☆☆☆☆ I would give it zero stars if I could.
MB/FC-blessed media ∴ It is known.
A day will come when they enshittify their platform, but it is not this day.
No lies detected, but TikToky floaty head content on c/worldnews tends to generate user reports.
We have a fair amount to show for it (like over 750 overseas military bases), it’s just that very little of it is for the working class.
Because bad pun memes are the bee’s knees.
