Oh, so winning the US is having a “quick” war turn into a 20 year quagmire that kills over a million people that leads entire parts of the country under local and tribal governance where no central US puppet ever gained control is a success? You’re a fucking idiot

Iraq was a massive failure in policy, in execution and in human death toll. If you think the Americans came out of that victorious you are literally a moron. Just because they have bases doesn’t mean they won, they stalemated at best and are still paying for an occupation that is going nowhere that is leading to a bigger regional failure in progress.

Death to America. You are a propagandized fool and tool of empire.

It has definitely changed a lot

considering the alphabet intelligence agencies and the people in the epstein files run 4chan and reddit I wouldn’t surprise if the “distraction from epstein files” trope is being planted by them to prevent deeper material analysis

Are you asking rhetorically or me specifically?

Because I agree with you and is kind of the point of the meme. People who keep saying everything is to distract you from the Epstein files are unaware that this is the constant policy that would happen with or with out them. The people in charge don’t care about Epstein. There are dozens of other Epsteins too.

They don’t care about the Epstein files, just like they didn’t care about the Panama Papers those are a distraction. The same people in the Epstein files run the DOJ, Run all the corporations, Run the supreme court. They have no fear or care in the world and the Americans will do fuck all to hold anyone accountable.

Ask Rosa Luxembourg about Social Democrats

USA Imperial boots try not to butcher people. mission: impossible

Every one of these fuckers should skip ahead to the part where they shoot themselves drunk

He literally was respected by people in Iran, not everyone there is against the government and the biggest problems with the government were not him specifically it is the sprawling layers of republican bureaucracy that runs Iran and does a bad job. The Supreme Leader there isn’t really like an absolutist dictator, the Ayatollahs are like the Supreme Court of the Islamic Republic and he was like the Chief Justice.

It is wild seeing USAmericans with no information talking about a topic they only received messaging about from their government. Before you call me an apologist please understand my family had to escape Iran in the back of a van and get dumped on the border of Turkey with nothing to get out, I’m not making excuses for them.

There is literally a community dedicated to doing that https://sh.itjust.works/c/meanwhileongrad

Nice projection about the persecution complex though, that is literally what you’ve been posting about lately lol.

You’re in the pic and you don’t like it

God I wish podcasting equipment would electrocute people who touch it

Huawei is a worker owned corporation and not a cooperative. Worker cooperatives operate on a strict “one-member, one-vote” democratic basis with profits shared by labor. Worker-owned corporations may be owned by employees but often distribute voting power and profits based on capital investment (shares) rather than democratic equity. The important distinction here is the democracy in the workplace where workers are directly in charge of their labor decisions and own the means of production.

I still don’t believe that distinction actually address the contradiction though and what Lenin says in State and Revolution. The title is literally “The State: A Product of the Irreconcilability of Class Antagonisms” and later “The State: an Instrument for the Exploitation of the Oppressed Class”

How can this state that is a product of the irreconcilability of class antagonisms and an instrument for exploitation of the oppressed class be wielded to do anything else but that? Sure maybe the argument can be made that the bourgeois is the oppressed class in the DoP, but they still control the businesses and enterprises even after a state revolution. I don’t think the world can exist without commerce and it is a fundamental feature of human culture. The Soviet state was never able to break that, at most it transferred a portion of that to the state itself, so was the state then an instrument to exploit itself?

This is why I appreciate people like Rick Wolff and his expanded analysis of the prerequisites of revolution including a robust cooperative economy along with political revolution. I just don’t believe the vanguard state is capable of doing what must be done without a component of non hierarchical syndicalist character and anarchist social revolution as an additive measure to the standard ML take and why I consider myself anarchist leaning.

I’m anarchist leaning and even I make memes making fun of anarchists on lemmy because the majority of lemmy anarchists are liberals and western chauvinists. The reason I am anarchist leaning and not a fully committed “tankie” isn’t because I didn’t bother to read Marx and Lenin I just don’t believe that some of their ideas will practically work, specifically the concept that a state is both inherently bourgeois and in charge of managing impossible contradictions yet somehow the dictatorship of the proletariat is able to wield state power to institute the will of the vanguard while being immune to the inherent contradiction of a state. To me this is a fundamental logical error in the revolutionary process that has to be resolved.

Oh sweet summer child… All Usian politicians are totalitarian fascists. The US is a fascist country, the USian culture is a fascist culture.
