Jesus wasn’t against capitalism because capitalism didn’t exist when he was alive. However, he was pretty clearly against people getting rich at the expense of others which is at the core of capitalism. Have you even bothered to read the other comments on here? In addition, your definition of capitalism is wrong. One more thing, Jesus wasn’t against selling things. He pretty clearly said “sell your possessions and give to the poor.”
“You don’t actually have more energy or less attention, it’s all in your head. You just need some pills so you can crush your abnormal consciousness and fit the mold known as “normal.””
Funny how in your WWII parallel the country that banned all unions and opposition parties (including the communist party), the one who ethnic cleansed their Russian population, run by the descendents of Nazi collaborators (Bandera supporters), today’s Ukraine is your USSR.
Isn’t that just the “if you have infinite monkeys banging on typewriters you’ll eventually get Shakespeare” thing, though? Not that consciousness can’t be revived, but it’s pretty unlikely for the same one to form again.
I literally only disagree with two of those. How the hell is the final level “two individuals didn’t kill an extremely specific and high number of people.” Even if you’re not a “tankie” it should be obvious that this could the claim could be eliminated on technicality (Stalin killed 45/55 million instead), or just a basic recognition that an individual can’t be solely responsible for millions of deaths. Even if neither, some of those people were Nazis, and it’s good to kill Nazis.
Send this to Ultras who think the current CPC is on the “capitalist road.” I’m wondering what the supposed environmental concerns were. I wouldn’t imagine golf courses are the most environmentally friendly. Don’t you need a bunch of herbicide to maintain the grass? Lawns are a huge waste of space. I’m assuming it’s just bourgeois cope.
No, it wasn’t the worst famine in history, and Mao didn’t personally cause it. China had horrible famines every few years for Millennia, the fact that it happened once under socialism can’t be attributed to socialism. China hasn’t had any famine since, so historically Socialism has done a lot to end famine.
This comment section has some good stuff. In terms of books I know I’d say ‘building the communist party of Kenya’ and ‘Everyday Politics in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya.’ I don’t know too much either, and hope to see some more comments here.
I’m not exactly sure. I heard people speak positively when I went to France, and it’s certainly better than that of the US, but I’m guessing neoliberalism has eaten at it a bit.
I was going to mention how there were multiple red scares attacking even slight leftists in the US while there were none attacking the open far right (even Nazi supporters like those in America First), but I forgot.
