US military bases around China
One asterisk too many for that to be right.

The Chinese Police goes around hitting random people on the street with these.
If they were so effective, how come they lost?
Thanks OP for breaking the NAP by exposing my eyes to this.
Cannabis is not entirely innofensive, as it is known that its consumption increases the risk of developing schizophrenia. I am however very skeptical of the idea that what you describe is an effect of drugs, and as it has been commented elsewhere your cousin probably just fell down the esoteric fascism rabbit hole.
claims that people who drink are being told to do so by the devil

Oh also- try harder because your current amount of effort is pathetic.
You think you deserve an effort? It's been a while since I stopped caring and began to just pull your leg. If you want a serious debate I am afraid you will have to ask Vladislav, the Russian spy hiding under your bed. Have a very wholesum chungus day my good sir.
Wife, girlfriend, non-binary partner or anime bodypillow, as if it was any important. You claim people are propagandists for having a political bias and then you go and bring up your partner of all people as a source. Talk about equal standards.
Try harder.
Sorry le kind stranger, would it be trying hard enough if I gave you some wholesum reddit gold?
plus have a Russian speaking partner to back me.up
PFFFFTTHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Dude, you cannot go around searching people's comments trying to find evil foreign propagandists and denouncing news outlets as unreliable propaganda and then pull out a "source: my wife" as a defense.
So maybe try harder next time?
It smells like sweat and doritos in here. Redditor, I presume?
Le bad faitherino!!1!
Why does it matter the "faith" it has? The video is there, and it is not edited. You can think the post has one or another goal but the truth is that this what the news portray has happened. You on the other side keep insisting on the "russian propaganda" meme and saying that what has been said is not what it has been translated as while failing to even provide an alternate translation, so either you do it or you can keep schizo-ranting about the "russian propagandists" that are crawling inside your walls.
The fact that any opinion that dissents from the mainstream western political discourse is branded as "propaganda" by people the likes of you demonstrates the virulently xenophobic paranoia that plagues the west (and always has). You are too daft to understand that the person you are talking about is a communist, and his posts reflect his ideas, not the paid interests of a foreign power, the same way it would be idiotic to call you a Ukrainian propagandist for excusing the unapologetic racism of its government officials.

I have stumbled upon some sweet drama that would be perfect for a post in c/shitreactionariessay. One keeps finding gold nuggets as they dig deeper into this rabbit hole, which has made me torn between writing an effortpost of a dozen paragraphs and links about some journalist that will be forgotten about in a couple of weeks or letting it go and doing something productive with my life instead.
What do you say?
Wouldnāt communism not have a workerās state anymore? Isnāt productivity kind of just a toxic hold over to be excised once the dictatorship of the proletariat is no longer necessary?
People still need to eat, drink and fulfill their other basic needs. "Productive" here does not mean to produce much of something with the least amount of resources possible, but to contribute to the fulfillment of society's needs.
Also, what counts as production? Isnāt something produced just anything with a use-value? Isnāt sex technically a thing with a use-value?
No. The commodification of human relationships is one of the worst blights that exists in this world, and whoever aims to prolongue it is an enemy of socialism. As long as one sees human interactions as something to bbe bought and sold, they will be unable to understand what the liberation of the working people entails.
(also, whereās the line between social parasitism and just being disabled? If someone canāt work, wouldnāt that mean that by this framework they deserve to either live without anything except bare necessities, or die from starvation?)
From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs. You are comparing (in a frankly offensive manner) those who cannot work to those who are not willing to work.
I am not defending prostitution as an act of liberation?
Added parenthesis to clarify.
I was defending the abstract idea of someone having sex for reasons besides direct sexual attraction to their partner, not prostitution as we know or in any form our current definition would work with. Like, I donāt think prostitution would even be possible in a communist society, there wouldnāt be any goods or services to really bargain with if everything, including luxuries, was collectively owned
Even if it was possible, it would still imply a form of labor desertion (in other words, social parasitism) by performing and obtaining benefit from an act that brings no productivity to the worker's state, not to mention that it is still an act of objectification. More on that text of Kollontai that I have linked before.
In response to the edited message: I have not downvoted you, nor have I done so in any message of yours other than the first one.
The belief is that this women is an idiot, or some sort of brainwashed fool for deciding toā¦ well, theyāre not even selling their body for sex in this case, theyāre just having a lot of sex āfor freeā as far as I can tell.
I can assure you, this woman didn't go from Texas to Kiev and got her own apartment plus a covering of its maintenance and of her own life needs with money that appeared out of thin air, with savings or by somehow landing a job as an accountant in warn-torn Ukraine: she is with no doubt charging soldiers for sex.
This woman saw a humanitarian crisis developing and her first choice to help was offering sexual services to soldiers in exchange of money. Yes, that someone develops this way of thinking is absolutely brainwashing done by liberalism.
Are we immune to brainworms? No. Are there low chances that the three people that you have replied to were all suffering from such, when the only thing you had against them was the gut feeling devoid of analysis that you had because of "the wording being a little weird"?
Iām not immune to propaganda, but you arenāt, either.
I do not think I am exposed in my day-to-day life to a substantial amount of propaganda pushing for a marxist perspective of the exploitation of women and its abolition. Both of us are, however, exposed to a fairly large amount of propaganda that attempts to promote the prostitution (that you defend) as an act of liberation. These two are not the same.
context that was missing from previous comments (which read more like āhow dare this woman not be traditionalā to me)
We are in a communist space. You have plenty context to work with: the last thing you have to expect of a critique of prostitution in a place like this is to be done from a point of view of religious puritanism and not from a perspective of principled marxist feminism, which is where @KommandoGZD 's comment and those following them came from.
The bourgeois state promotes the idea that all critiques to the existence of prostitution itself comes from conservative or reactionary perspectives. You are not immune to propaganda: before attempting to write a critique basing on the gut feeling that you get from reading something, try to read what is it that it is actually being said.
I agree that prostitution is coercive and wrong in every current implementation.
Current or otherwise. Prostitution is not defensible under socialism or communism either, and to know why I once again redirect you to Kollontai. I was writing here the bullet points of the text, but I have decided not to as no summary can substitute the proper reading of an original theory text.
As it says in the text, and as it was said in the first All-Russian Congress of Working Women: āA woman of the Soviet labour republic is a free citizen with equal rights, and cannot and must not be the object of buying and selling", and to this day we should still strive to build a proletarian society where this remains true.
Look at how close China put their country to our military bases!
