Ok when the word "shitlib" is used here we're referring to smug, rude, arrogant, reddit-brained imbeciles who functionally support imperialism, right wing apologia, and casual bigotry. They also operate in bad faith from the get go.

Uneducated progressive "liberals" who are nonetheless openminded and empathetic are not the people who this term refers to.

*Thanks!

HAHAHAHAHAHA SLAUGHTERED!

“[Capitalists] act as if they are being chased by a bear,” wrote Zhang Lin, a Beijing political commentator, in response to these comments. “They are powerless to control the bear, so they are competing to outrun each other to escape the animal.”

But you gotta acknowledge that calling Russia's intervention an "invasion" is antithetical to supporting Donbas.

majority of billionaires are allowed to exist in the first place dumbass

Socialism is a transitory stage between capitalism and communism where there is ongoing class warfare between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat my dude. In China, the state is on the side of the proletariat, not the bourgeois.

And putting money into health and infrastructure is possible under capitalism

And yet China is the only major power where the state has a tight grip on both... Interesting!

*Fix your grammar first.

FTFY.

So lemmy get this straight, NATO going across a few oceans and continents to destroy a country of brown people in another white supremacist crusade for resources, as they do, is the same as...

A country filled with a certain ethnic group wanting to invade a region on their doorstep because NATO is fortifying it as a strongpoint to destroy it, and a bunch of Nazis are slaughtering civilians of the said same ethnic group within the said region?

Would you support Kazakhstan invading all of China for oppressing Uyghurs in Xinjiang

So basically exaggerated bullshit reports from MSM and Adrian Zenz of people being put in vocational schools is the same as Azov mass murdering innocent civilians?

Im actually surprised that you could read the runes, interesting.

However I never said that you loved NATO lmao you just uncritically consume *and parrot their propaganda about Russia being le big evil in this situation.

State capitalism is when you execute billionaires and enact compulsory planning for key parts of the nation's development such as health and infrastructure.

They act like what the far right imagines the left to be like

Good, they should be terrified.

willfully uninformed

you initially confused the words "un-informed" and "dishonest". Most literate liberal

if person.beliefs != NatoPropaganda:

person.status = RussiaLover

nuh uh because it means that the CPC has final say over shit with regards to the economy and governance instead of just leaving things up to the market like a true capitalist country

Socialist Market Economy is a socialist mode of production. :bean:

bro even wikipedia acknowledges china is socialist lmao

lol shut the fuck up canuck

Not really imo, a sudden collapse of america would create chaotic power vacuums but they mostly be internally localized to america and countries completely dominated by america. Countries on the periphery would not immediately jump to fill the power vacuum molded to a white-supremacist settler-colonial hegemon as they do not have the material basis to fill such a role.

Furthermore, such a framing takes for granted that the current world is run by an orderly, functional system made up of countries subservient to a hegemon when in fact, the current situation is quite chaotic, as we live in "interesting times". It is moreso a complex, multipolar situation made up of blocs with competing interests, and its just that one bloc mainly headed by one country is getting its way. Unfortunately, this country is america, with an agenda fundamentally inseparable with the extraction and genocide of other civilized nations. Other blocs do have their own interests, but it is unlikely they would be as bloodthirsty as america.

Moreover, even if things somehow do lead to war, historically, during the time of chaos highlighted earlier, one of the greatest socialist experiments, the USSR, was born. And for a time, there was hope for a better future in the world.

At the end of the day the preparedness and struggle of socialist movements worldwide will decide what will happen if such a situation occurs.
