Marx is overrated
anyone defending any system has "apologia" and blood all over him. Capitalism - defined here as societal systems of private property - has killed upwards 100 million at least, and monarchism - defined here as systems where the crown is ultimately the owner of the whole realm - sits comfortably at around 145 million dead. So if me arguing for communism and its continued relevance to pressing contemporary problems is "apologia" then all of us dabble in it
Communism is too much ideology for it to work
is my criticism of Communism ever been the Death Count?
"apologia" implied it, in my mind
my bad if wrong
Not gay reddit do you have a job?
I'm a student presently
Will you move to NK or China?
No, and why should i
Or Venezuela?
I don't see the Leftist Argument for Socialism as convincing and given its impacts on society i don't think it's sustainable.
Well idk
Venezuela could be a place to move into
They seem like countries that attract you
I heard Venezuela is doing great at the moment
I have thought of trying to organise some kind of leftist aid group, that could go there to help. Its quite honestly very telling of the left that, whereas the 60,000 leftists flocked to help the Spanish Republicans in the civil war, ***nobody has gone to help venezuela from the millennial generation***
none
its dead silence
and honestly disgusting
Not real socialism
Not real communism
the goal is quite clearly real socialism, but just through non-lethal, gradual means
Chavez made this clear
He kidnapped his political opponent
Lol
that is always fun
Does being communist also imply defending criminals?
If you look at Venezuela, you have a system which was working towards socialism. That is, joint ownership of the means of production. There were mass initiatives to get cooperatives going, and communalization programs to create communes as a new division of administration, complete with vastly increased commons at their disposal.
if theft is a crime, all Socialists are advocates for criminals<:ancap:521375203893182472>
To dismiss this as "no true socialism" would be disingenuous.
I used to maintain that opinion
but,
upon closer reflection,
it was false
i like Venezuela
the shitty older Venezuela no doubt 😄
because of them the entire Southern American Continent is Right Wing now
oh
*oh*
