and even during the period he wasnt he had his little puppet in power

And we don't see a single soul against him

Prob they're too drunk to do so

The famine fucked up their minds

So no shit, anyone that tries to tamper with communist monuments and shit gets locked up pretty quick

Very possible

Russia without a liberalized (different meaning in the east) revolution of sorts is destined to fall into the hands of a dictatorial state, it's just in their nature. Vatniks can't even imagine life without it

It's what they know

Now if they'd just keep to their own sphere of influence that'd be fine

it's like the whole war on terror. You can't bestow a capitalist democracy upon a culture featured around theocratic monarchy

Prime example

Russia is like a puffer fish, try to look big in the presence of other countries, but don't even has the economic power to stay in a long term war

I'm not talking shit about slavic culture

Afghanistan tried to vote in the same dudes we ousted

exactly

Holy shit you guys really would enjoy reading Chomsky

and that's not even

Gnoma Chomsky the outdated anarchist?

Outdated is a little harsh, but yes. Noam Chomsky. You guys are literally saying shit that he talks about

And tbh it's pretty interesting to read

Like most people get fucking terrified when they hear the word socialist because they associate it with the Soviet Union

Chomsky along with any scholar worth his salt will tell you that the biggest problem that happened there was that Lenin and Stalin both centralized their power within the state under their own personal rule

well yeah

socialism in its purest form is supposed to be a basic direct democracy with an industry and economic characteristics based on the culture surrounding the nation

example: Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, Soviet Socialism

but the land grabbers come and start demanding shit and it gets real fucky from there

That's why an armed society is a polite society

Its a paradox

There's a lot of socialist ideas I agree with I just don't like a government having that much control

Hence why you should read Chomsky

Full state democracy will never exist

He argues in favor of a decentralized concept

You don't need to instill it at a state level

That's the fucking problem every revolution has xD

This is what cracks me up

People keep on thinking that they can just use a government to conduct socialism or even communism

in my personal opinion socialism is outdated of Marx's teachings. And other than Chomsky or the scandinavian welfare state, there is no modern derivitive of socialism

No one wants a direct democracy. I'm in favor of the republic still

But they forget that Marx literally stated that communism is a post-capitalist, stateless, classless society

STATELESS

That's the word they miss
