what the fuck is wrong with you

erm

"buffer state = not imperialist"
was sarcastic

as in

we do it so we can have a joke state

<:ryuko:279305409875935232>

not a buffer state

"US buffer state = not imperialist"
"Chinese communist allied state = imperialist"

I wonder, where did I say this?

Oh wait I didn't

Weak attempt at a strawman my dude

I never argued anything but a rough equivocation of the two, I defend neither the US nor China

the argument starting with "I gave it as food for thought versus the "Communist Death Toll" meme"

no one argues the communist death toll in interventions by socialist states.

just in the way they put people in concentration camps

but you aggressively contend the capitalist death toll

proudly declaring your intention to not read the sources posted

because it's a stupid thing to attribute to an economic system

"because it's a stupid thing to attribute to an economic system"
"no one argues the communist death toll in interventions by socialist states"
What is this I don't even

The communist death toll would be even higher with these interventions counted to it

Hello nigsters

can you read?

read it again

no

i cant

So yeah I've read it about three times and still can't even

wow

stunning

communism is an economic system

I'll spell it out again

capitalism is an economic system

"because it's a stupid thing to attribute to an economic system"

"no one argues the communist death toll in interventions by socialist states"

I don't count military intervention as the consequence of a country having a specific economic system

be it communism or capitalism

communism is both an economic and political system, actually

sure

and a mode of production, and a philosophy

as capitalist countries and governments undergo different ruling governments with different ideologies, but they're all united by a desire to preserve markets

but also an economic system so

but all communist countries throughout history have displayed equivalent totalitarian tendencies
