I guess that totalitarianism is okay as long as it's under a king

Fascism is way better too

🤔

Ethiopia bought military equipment from Russia as they backed them in WW2, but that doesn't make them their puppet you moron.

Totalitarianism is not even a thing

Evolved Marxism

Ok it's bait

When you have complete social and economic control, that is totalitarianism

@b00tyeatinbandit they bought from the in the 80's too

If anything, Russia's only objective was to turn Ethiopia into a communist shithole and further spread their ideology

T absurd rates

And you will notice that communism on the political compass is in the top left where total control is

deliberately genociding people > accidental famine > drought-induced famine I guess

The ussr was capitalist since the 60s

If u think hard enough a king is not a dictator

Marx did not know what capitalism was

And neither do you apparently

didn't machiavelli talk about that?

What's funny is that the communist Ethiopian government was defeated in the civil war despite apparently being Russia's puppet.

He was talking about state capitalism

Something completely different

no wait that was someone else

@b00tyeatinbandit they were

"not real capitalism"

Ok

That happens

no true scotsman

Yet they lost to a bunch of farmers with ak47's okay.

Imperialist inter competition

@Hooty I guess that 1800s era england had government control of everything

And the rebel groups weren't backed up by the US.

This is not laisseiz fairie free enterprise

we're reaching levels of ideology that shouldn't be possible

@b00tyeatinbandit X doubt

The only fair is laisseiz faire

that's some 200 proof ideology there

But apparently the powerful and almighty Russia couldn't fund their ally.
