Tito was a rebel

2018-12-29 19:15:00 UTC  

I think

2018-12-29 19:15:04 UTC  

we should arm sex workers.

2018-12-29 19:15:08 UTC  

It's a shame Yugoslavia broke up after he died

2018-12-29 19:15:24 UTC  

Yeah, it is.

2018-12-29 19:15:29 UTC  

@TheTeacher they can literally "pop a cap in yo ass"

2018-12-29 19:15:54 UTC  

My main issues with Yugoslavia is the same issue I take with the USSR.

2018-12-29 19:16:05 UTC  

I feel they weren't as decentralized as they should have been.

2018-12-29 19:16:30 UTC  

They both accomplished great things, but the main goal of Socialism is decentralization. I feel both were too central.

2018-12-29 19:16:40 UTC  

Even so, after both fell things have gotten worse.

2018-12-29 19:16:53 UTC  

Marx definitely wanted centralisation

2018-12-29 19:17:09 UTC  

To say socialism is decentralised is untheoretical

2018-12-29 19:17:36 UTC  

Well, like I said I am not a Marxist. I'm more post-Marxist than anything.

2018-12-29 19:17:52 UTC  

I can say Marx had some great ideas, but there's things in there I don't agree with.

2018-12-29 19:18:07 UTC  

Even so, since the fall of the USSR and Yugoslavia, both places have been not doing so well.

"Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture."
Marx

All the former Soviet States now have lower standards of living and higher mortality rates.

2018-12-29 19:19:02 UTC  

Plus, a lot of places now lost what they once had. After you told me that Belarus now doesn't have free college, I looked into all the former states and they all lost a lot of things.

2018-12-29 19:19:16 UTC  

Yeah.

2018-12-29 19:19:20 UTC  

@Borzo Is that Iran

2018-12-29 19:19:25 UTC  

A lot of places also lost free healthcare too.

2018-12-29 19:19:27 UTC  

Azerbaijan

2018-12-29 19:19:40 UTC  

Why would Iran have ussr flag

2018-12-29 19:19:51 UTC  

I fucking wish Iran became a Soviet State.

2018-12-29 19:20:11 UTC  

@TheTeacher do you support Isis or Assad

2018-12-29 19:20:14 UTC  

@Borzo @TheTeacher Its was a capitalistic system in the 70s

2018-12-29 19:20:32 UTC  

I support Assad's struggle against imperialism.

2018-12-29 19:20:37 UTC  

Nice

2018-12-29 19:20:42 UTC  

@Borzo The one that shouts the loudest "Allahu Akbar"

2018-12-29 19:20:43 UTC  

I do not want to be that leftist who keeps saying things are not "real socialism."

2018-12-29 19:21:01 UTC  

I disagree with Assad on a lot of things, but Syria should have self determinism.

Syria is the last multicultural country left in the Middle East

2018-12-29 19:21:57 UTC  

I heard that Rojava and Assad considered a pact to work together.

2018-12-29 19:22:02 UTC  

After a certain religion caused havoc

2018-12-29 19:22:10 UTC  

That would be incredible. They need it to oppose Turkey.

2018-12-29 19:22:23 UTC  

Aren't the Kurds Turkish?

2018-12-29 19:22:33 UTC  

And rojava supports the Kurds

2018-12-29 19:23:00 UTC  

Kurds are not Turkic. They are some other ethnic group entirely.

2018-12-29 19:23:07 UTC  

And Turkey hates the Kurds to no end.
