Oh ok, what I really meant was:

In my opinion, Marx wrote his conclusion first, then cherry picked the points in history that supported his conclusion.

Nothing in that implies what you're accusing me of

The economy of Vietnam is a developing mixed socialist-oriented market economy

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Vietnam

That doesn't sound very communist to me, and I've heard plenty of times that a mixed economy isn't a socialist one at all.

Or is that only when it's a European country?

Nothing you said rebutted the section of my comment you quoted, you just started fighting strawmen

The US lost a war to Vietnamese nationalists that adopted the trappings of Communism in order to get materiel support from China. They rejected it, and China, as soon as possible

Yeah, they were the ChapoTrapHouse subreddit, which is all you need to know

And to radicals, there is no greater foe

So? There's no official language in the US, and there shouldn't be. People should be able to speak whatever language they want.

That's only changed in the last few years, Florida was a swing state before that

"There's no proof of censorship in the USSR, I can go to the Party Library and read whatever books I want"

I'd make a distiction that tankies support "Lefty" states that are anything but.

China is a dictatorship, NK is a monarchy, Russia is an oligarchy.

In his book, he charts the course of human history and tries to predict where it will end up. He comes to the conclusion that a violent revolution will soon come to pass as the workers overthrow their bosses and start sharing resources.

"Soon come to pass" was 150 years ago, the Revolution hasn't happened. Marxist scholars since then have been recreating the letters between early Christians asking why He hadn't returned yet as promised and pushing the date of the Second Coming back.

Back in thr US Civil War 160 years ago, the loyalist side was called "The Union". So people are jokingly pretending your meme was about Union victories there

Especially if the minotaur is a dude

I'm jealous of your bike culture

Oh good, it wasn't just me

I want to replace the face worh Tyler1's

What's the difference in end result?

Land value tax would fix this

That could be huge, I hope they follow suit
