by the time the election happened I was a libertarian
That's just barely left-of-center.
Bernie is like the only leftist politician with any notoriety in Washington.
no I was extremely left like punch a nazi left
You don't have to be extremely left to want to punch Nazis.
sure
Antifa are just a bunch of LARPers.
Probably don't even know who Kropotkin is. 😎
No I do, quit dick measureing.
I mean Antifa.
Do you think China is communist?
their like a weird mix
I see china more from a Taiwanese lense
97% of businesses are privately owned.
Most people here think they're communist. This server is just completely braindead about anything left of center.
Taiwan is pretty WOKE.
I don't think any country has instituted land reform as seamlessly as they have, using a Georgist tax.
yeah their a decent government and the damn chinese are trying to basically annex the country
Xi Xinping is woke as fuck.
But by no means a communist even though he's markedly more Marxist fundamentalist than the vast majority of his party.
But he's like Chinese Trump.
hes not widely hated though
He has aggressive foreign policy goals as well as domestic policy goals.
He's a neo-imperialist.
"neo" as a term is something else we need to stop using its so subjective.
are neo-nazis new anymore
How is it subjective? The definition is pretty clear.
I guess genaric is a better term than subjective
Neo as a prefix for ideology doesn't necessarily mean new. Neo-Nazism won't be not neo-Nazism in a century if it's the same ideas.
it literally just means new
It means a detraction from original ideas.
Neo-imperialism is different from imperialism, neo-Nazism is different from Nazism.
go look in chat
Yeah I see that.
But that's semantics. It doesn't mean anything.
thats my point for fucks sake
Neo-imperialism is "new" imperialism because intranational governments made direct conquest impossible. It won't ever be not neo-imperialism simply because it's old.
but in 10 years what do we call neo neo imperialism
We won't because it will be the same.
its like calling a city New York
