If amerika cuts the act then who will police the idiots of the world

😂

Someone needs to scare tubby into submission

catalonia, once it gains glorious indepe-AHH, MY THROAT

Kim Jong is actually smarter.

That was a very reactionary statement. It's time to dial back on the cartoons and read some theory. @Mosin Nagant

I know he is I'm just joking a bit.

This is partially what I'm talking about.

@Deleted User It was a joke actually.

there's always the theory that china is using north korea as a sort of pawn to get what it wants while still maintaining some semblance of good relations with the west.

I'm not trying to be super political here.

if you want to be all kissinger-y about it.

Say Mcstubbs

yep?

Besides the whole nukes and western bullying

What do you think North and South korea will be doing now

Dabbing. Nah jk.

Sorry, that wasn't at all clear. You implying that the US has policed "idiots" left a terrible taste. You essentially called oppressed groups that have suffered tremendously thanks to US imperialism idiots. And that's not right at all.

Since they no longer intend to cut each other's throats

Probably doing as they planned?

Slowly take over skorea.

That's cutting the throat

well, assuming it wasn't all for show, there's a very real possibility that nkorea could collapse under capitalist pressure.

Of course there is a chance.

But, they have released US prisoners.

Even if it is for show, at least they got out.

yeah, fair point.

You think N-K would try to copy China in order to survive?

that's actually what i was typing

holy shit

Mm.

People have brought the possibility up

And what would that be?

possibly going all deng-y and allowing investment by foreign companies

of course, it would be a while

It still could wotk.

it *could*, but opening up to western influence seems to be the death knell for many a socialist regime

If they don't fix the economy.

We'll (US) will probably raid.

If they don't fix their food either.

They should ya know

even if they do, the US could always CIA them

Try to raise that living standard a bit

again, i'm not a big fan of the kims

And what of the Vietnamese?

If not the kims

Or the chins

they're privatizing a fair bit too

not a big fan of them either, but at least they aren't what appears to be a dynasty with a vice grip on power

To be honest I think Vietnam is fine the way it is now.

That would mean a "Socialist Market Economy". I doubt they will adopt the Chinese model, but it's definitely a possibility. Their economy actually isn't in as bad a shape as some would like to believe. In fact, Forbes published an article a little over a year ago I believe that talked about how the NK economy was booming, sanctions and all.

Like

It's not perfect

But it's not North Korea either

Plus shit ton of motorbikes

man, the west really needs to catch up with SE asia on motorbikes

because MAN are those things neat

Theya re indeed.

I have 2 Vietnamese born friends who migrated to amerika

Doesn't sound too bad over there

But there are plenty of safety risks

fun fact: where i live, there's an annual vietnam war airsoft event, and it's always interesting to see people super patriotic in a vietnam war reenactment

i think i'm gonna buy black pajamas, a pith helmet and an airshit mosin

brush up on some basic vietnamese

be the first gangly white ginger in the viet cong

You.. You're ginger?

terrifying, i know.

Jesus H. Christ Almighty

I heard about that airsoft event

taking "red scare" to a whole new level

Lel

Also don't call my airshit oof mcstubbs

i actually like airsoft quite a bit, can't stand the people who are too serious about it though

Tbh its just fun and game guys

i'd like to put together a civvie/militia cnt/fai outfit

Go play MilSim in MilSim arenas

ikr

also, so many airsoft players are insufferable rich kids

i can't stand it

like, dude, you're not actually in the army, quit trying to be mr tacticool billy badass

you're shooting plastic spheres at people

Yeah its fun and games man

And ya know what's worst?

They cheat too

And whine when hit

fucking hate that shit.

I gave my AK to my nephew and set him up to play with his friends when I could gather the money for that shit

And this one tubby rich kid went to play too

The second he got hit he ran crying to his mother

@Mosin Nagant I'm curious, how old are you??

And she yelled at me

Me of all people

Blame the kid who shot your son not me xD

I'm 127

Obviously

No seriously. I'm genuinely curious.

127.

Should I do the math?

-_- Are you an adult or no?

2018-1891

Does it look like I'm an adult the way I act?

And what I say

I'm not trying to be ageist. I'm just interested in knowing.

I'm pretty sure 11 year olds aren't meant to have Nephews...

<:GWupuGuriThinking:390299785841606656>

Imean sure maybe in Romeo and Juliet time

i'm 16, if that might dampen any sort of reservations

tbh i only really started getting into leftism at the beginning of this year

i went through a dreadful libertarian phase, decided to read wage labor and capital, and had a rather dramatic shifting of sympathies.

You're such a mediator too.

right libertarian, i mean.

@mcstubbs 16? HA. You basement-dwelling parasite, mooching off of mommy and daddy while playing revolution in the decadent confines of Suburbia. Be gone!

@Deleted User And you call me childish.

i know, i'm lifestylist scum

<:GWupuCirCup:390299775599247367>

Jk lol

Hahaha

i used to read hayek. it was horrific.

Tbh I'm not even Socialist if I think about it.

i went through a brief keynesian phase, as a sort of denial

I was only into it due to falling on hard times and it gave me hope and the ability to look to the next day without negetivity

I'm quite thankful for learning about this stuff too.

I'm actually quite familiar with the Austrian School of Economics as well as Austrolibertarian political philosophy. I'm always prepared to face off against an AynCrap.

It's nice to see smart people talk.

And see dumb people flop.

dude, i ain't smart.

Did I call you smart?

see, look! i can't even tell if people are calling me smart.

<:GWnanamiTohruSmile:402195736516755456>

*Pat pat* It's alright Stubb.

i can't believe i used to be able to entertain misesian economic thought

@Mosin Nagant You aren't a socialist? Wow.

Anyway going back to your original topic

Go on

Have at it

Poke it with a stick

Maybe it's alive

@mcstubbs It's alright, lol. It was just a phase after all. And I've studied Mutualism and Left-Libertarianism as well. Are you familiar with Kevin Carson?

i am not. tell me about him, my good sir

also, just scanned through his wikipedia article v briefly. i need to use the phrase "vulgar libertarianism" way more.

@mcstubbs Sorry, internet went down. Kevin Carson is an American mutualist/individualist anarchist in the style of Benjamin Tucker. He's a research associate at C4SS and is perhaps most famous for his book, "Studies in Mutualist Political Economy".

>American commies
What a joke.

@Firefly @Firefly @Firefly @Firefly @Firefly @Firefly @Firefly @Firefly

@Deleted User If that comment was directed at FF, the image he posted is of British communists associated with the Communist Party of Great Britain - Marxist-Leninist.

<:GWnanamiRoWow:399930868141129731>

Fiiiiireflyyyyy~!!!

@Deleted User It was directed at you pal.

i gotta check that out, i really need to study mutualism more even if i'm not really that much of a proponet of it.

even though my profile pic is proudhon

weird.

@Firefly Go back to your hole and stop posting for another 5 days firefly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Beda3kFNjo

@Deleted User Wow. Way to harsh a d00ds vibe. JK, if I gave a rat's ass what you thought, I could feed a stray cat.

@Deleted User You sure do care if you went through the effort to make a thought and response about it.

the polish need to fix their goddamn language

@mcstubbs Why?

@Deleted User Tch, don't be mean to firefly

because you can't just have consonants like that, man

They only cater to the many tastes of the server.

you gotta have a vowel in there *somewhere*

Silly rex

@Deleted User You're just bootyhurt about your bunk historiography being called into question earlier.

@mcstubbs Polish has been around a lot longer than english.

@Deleted User Hmm?

@Mosin Nagant Who are you?

I am Mewsin Nyagant.

Also known as Mosin Nagant.

i mean, bloodletting has been around much longer than modern medicine

i am completely in jest, btw

Stubbs

ye?

@mcstubbs Medicine and language are two separate things.

How do you make a kid stop starving themselves?

is this the setup for a joke or are you asking for advice

**advice**

ah

hmm

@mcstubbs Why do you even ask?

I actually am having this problem

@Deleted User You're also wrong, yet again. Polish emerged in the 10th century whereas English emerged sometime around the middle of the 5th century.

@Deleted User I need a citation on that.

Marshmallows and some sweets work hut I cant use just that to encourage eating

I don't want a twig

I want a hooman

i mean, they may come to their senses and begin eating soon enough

how long have they been abstaining from eating for?

3 years

oh

shit

<:GWnanamiEmiliaSMH:405043478028877824>

Including the passing of this year

Technically its 2 full years and almost a half

But yeah...

@Deleted User The polish language started in the 6th cenutury you dumbass.

This doesnt seem to be something they will snap out of soon

https://www.alsintl.com/resources/languages/Polish/

i mean, you could try not sparing the rod and taking away privileges

like games or toys or the like

@Deleted User Wrong. Polish as a distinct language emerged out of the Western Slavic language group around the 10th century.

i feel like if you use the carrot tactic they might develop some sort of pavlovian response where they expect things in return for eating

but you gotta instill that not eating is a bad thing

If you're referring to Old Polish, that arose in the 9th century.

Tru

@Deleted User Oh if we want to count old polish, then we have to account for old english as well, don't we?

i wouldn't go as far as actual abuse, of course, but i think this is one of those things where you have to use the stick

@Deleted User Yeah, and it arose in the 9th century but wasn't considered "distinct" until the 10th.

i didn't mean to start a language history debate, guys

@Deleted User Middle english actually started around 1100, which means that english as we know it, started around that time, if didn't even become popular until the 1300's.

i just wanted to make a joke about the polish language being hard to pronounce

@Deleted User Compared to most other European languages, there is very little difference between Old and Modern Polish.

Which therefore means that middle polish is older than that of middle english.

And? How does that matter in this case? We are talking about the age of the languages.

@Deleted User Yeah, and there's a direct line of succession involved. English on the whole is older than Polish.

is it true stalin killed people who disliked him or didn't like socialism?

@Aidan xD It's exagerrated

i mean, that's a bit of an over simplification

By a lot

@mcstubbs Try the siberian or hawaiian languages if you want a language that is impossible to pronounce.

@NoCountryForAllMen#8084 explain

@Deleted User How about you try a hairy ballsack?

@Deleted User It is hard to say for certain, early english is illegible when conpared to even middle english, probably because it was a mesh of the viking and britan languages.


Edgy.

but he certainly did have people who were vocal about their hatred of the communist state and he had those within the party who were deemed reactionary or revisionist removed

with varying degrees of violence

@Deleted User Here is early english, give it a read.

at least, to my understanding

however, he did give us one great thing.

the idea for a trotsky halloween costume with a fake icepick sticking out of the head

@mcstubbs Pfffft.

@Aidan xD It's bourgeois propaganda created by the imperialist states to discredit the USSR. There is not a shred of evidence Stalin committed genocide. Usually this charge is made against the Holodomor, of which not even bourgeois historians are in agreement that it was genocide.

absolute m a d m a n

@mcstubbs The fucking erix andre show.

@Deleted User Middle English coincided with Norman rule. Naturally, the vocabulary fell under heavy influence by Norman French. However, the everyday commoner vocabulary was still primarily Germanic, and still possessed distinct characteristics inherited from Old Norse. Also, Old English is still English.

thx @NoCountryForAllMen#8084

if anybody i know would get that joke, i would go as trotsky.

instead, i'm going as nietzsche and screaming at people about wills in a silly german accent.

@Aidan xD You have to admit that most arguments against communism are based on lies

I mean you realize that at this point right?

tru
