the opposite position isnt true though I dont support US or their enemies

That is true neutrality

So they can be controlled and guided to democracy? Yes. That is the foreign policy lie used during the Cold War.

and that is fine

Guess how rich and functional and not corrupt South American democracies are?

👎

they are largely socialistic

and Chile is doing quite well comparatively

Oh comparatively.

Venezuela is a socialist utopia

compared to the rest of South America yes

I don't think anyone takes Venezuela seriously, not even before Chavez died.

thair the NK of the americas

He just squandered oil revenue on social programs. Any sensible economist knows you have to diversify.

And oil is a volatile market good.

So it was just a matter of time. He was a fucking moron.

they made an oil backed crypto currency then exit scammed it

none of us serious investers bought in it was only the idiots that bet on everything

Socialism gone wrong (NSFW) (NOT CLICKBAIT)

>implying it can go right

Can't go right when you have a populist clown like Chavez in charge.

@εïз irma εïз the American press took Venezuela very seriously when Chavez was around.

Who takes the American press seriously?

That is a good point.

But they did have a Chavez boner

Well liberals are just as eager to hop onto something without knowing anything about it as confirmation of their beliefs as the right is.

So, Communists are anti imperialists and, but materialistic as well. So, if they reject any sort of religion in favor of even more materialism, would that lead to the conquering of land for resources?
Isn't that imperialism then?
🤔

@everyone 🔖 Daily Question
What are the pros and cons of full drug legalization in your opinion?

pros: less crime and violence. cons: it is a step to a society more accepting of extremely unhealthy practices

let's not make this a slippery slope thing it directly leads to a society more accepting of extremely unhealthy practices

The slippery slope exists

it's literally a fallacy

but it isn't

We have seen the slope happen with the LGBT community

wut

The gays started out and all they wanted was equal marriage

Christians said "no, next thing you know they will start supporting pedophilia"

everyone called them crazy

Now it's 2018 and pedophilia is being pushed as a sexuality rather than a mental disease

we fell down the slope
