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

Venezuela isn't real Socialism so

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*

new angle there 😄
