Okay, well, I've studied everything from all sorts of marxist tendencies to syndicalism to anarchism, to classical economics, and I think you're either using terms wrong or have the wrong idea. Can you define your terms or rephrase what you mean?

I apologize if this is too blunt.

I mean the stages of economic transition have been "fuedalism->capitalism-> socialism" as each one is progressively more efficient and supercedes the previous.

And Biden should give everyone a pony.

You understand that "they should behave like they should behave" isnt very useful in understanding politics and developing personally actionable solutions, right?

Lol.

No, it means its getting increasingly bloody as more and more Russians and Ukrainians get thrown in the meat grinder without a path to victory for Ukraine. That isn't winning.

Okay, but it doesn't seem Ukraine is winning, even with NATO supporting them. So, that means a settlement is probably the best option to save lives all around.

No, if he didn't he would have been couped and the invasion launched anyway. Russia is a dictatorship of capital. Putin answers to the national bourgeoisie of Russia.

Also hypotheticals like that aren't really relevant to discussing actual exit strategies. Unless you've found a way to hop realities.

Under capitalism automation benefits the owners (on a small timescale, they worsen the totroptf) under socialism time saving just means the population has more time.

That is why workers currently push against automation under capitalism.

Not a market socialist though, just a socialist.

The quickest way to achieve peace is for Putin yo withdraw.

And then get couped and have the war continue under the leadership of a right wing hardliner

Please look up critiques of great man theory as it seems relevant to your line of thinking on this matter.

For more information, research "surplus army of labor", "primitive accumulation", and "accumulation by dispossession".

Debate pervert, got it.

As a trans person I would unironically move to Cuba if they were accepting immigrants.

Thats because you did not ask for links proving that, youre either being a debate pervert or have the memory of a goldfish.

Did you click on the links and read them?

Not even a single link to a pogrom which was supported by someone who was supported by an American capitalist who is demonstrably in bed with the American government?

Stop being a debate pervert.

Most of what youre saying isn't worth responding to; for example, claiming that the rich aren't in bed with our politicians lol, but for the audience, some history:

Here the Yankees are admitting to influencing the elections after the coup to keep the communists out of power because the people had previously voted not to dissolve the USSR before the coup and they were afraid of communists regaining control of the government.

Here is a fun article on how the US is responsible for violence targetting lgbt people worldwide Just a tiny sample though

Here is a relevant essay on liberals like you speaking over queer liberation activists.

Legalising same sex marriage is an acceptance of queerness

Its not going to get less ridiculous if you keep saying it.

Are you even lgbt? Maybe you should ask some trans leftists what they think of this. Maybe read some Leslie Feinberg.

It's a response to the original (flippant) claim that the US is a queerphobic dictatorship.

It is lmao. It is literally a dictatorship of capital with the most queer people imprisoned per population.

I have not seen any pogroms against gay or trans people that have been funded or supported by the US government. Maybe going back a ways?

Look at every single liberation movements that they mass murdered and you will find countless queer folks. Queer folks have always lead the charge against US imperialism in such movements.

But also, I'm talking about US capitalists lobbying governments and running private campaigns. And the capitalists and the government are in the same bed together.

I fucking hate the US government. Just need to mention that. They're a joke and I want to see huge reforms, though I don't hold out much hope. I hate the Russian government more, and with good reason, especially on the issue of queerphobia. Are you genuinely of the belief that the Russian government is less queerphobic than the US govt? If so, please explain that to me in big letters so that I can understand properly.

Yes, they are more queerphobic, because they kill more queer people globally, and seek to destroy liberation movements globally. Russia might have worse laws but the US has more queer blood on its hands, and is ultimately responsible for a right wing Russian government existing in the first place.

Helicopters, drones, and metals they won't be able to use at Taiwan.

Because their plan for reunification is peaceful, which a military invasion would make more difficult.

You're original wording was:

which accepts queerness in its federal law.

You do not know what queerness is if you think that is met by gay marriage being legalized federally.

Is it perfect? By no means, there's a long way to go. But the characterization of the US as queerphobic in the context of comparison to Russia is a nonsense. Both-sidesing this issue is a disgusting affront to the LGBTQ people suffering under Putin.

This is whataboutism. Also US capitalists fund the passage of anti-lgbt laws and hate campaigns globally that create basically pogroms against gay and trans people. So it is ridiculous because the US is much worse to gay and trans people globally.

They also helped illegally and undemocratically dissolve the USSR and created the situation for Putin to exist in in the first place. Who knows, if they didn't interfere maybe the USSR would currently be as progressive as Cuba is on the issue of queer liberation. And Ukrainian and NATO capitalists and Russian capitalists wouldn't be sending conscripts to their deaths.

The long and short of it is that legalizing gay marriage isn't even a strong step to lgbt liberation, it is literally just tepid assimilationism. We are only "accepted by federal law" in most narrow and on their terms sense. Call me when the US government federally covers trans Healthcare, makes conversion torture a federal crime, deals with the queer(especially child) homelessness problem, and purges the people calling us all pedophiles.

Also, learn some fucking humility.
