Many former Nazi officials were high ranking members of NATO, including Adolf Heusinger. This makes sense, considering NATO is a military coalition of imperialist countries meant to deter revolution against imperialism and neocolonialism, like SEATO, ANZUS, and CENTO.
If Trump destroyed NATO, this would genuinely be an accidental anti-imperialist move.
Yep, schooling really does put things at a disadvantage, but it’s a practical pursuit nonetheless!
That’s amazing! I believe every communist should take up language learning, as it unlocks entirely new spaces for us to see and viewpoints. I can only speak ~1.3 languages right now, but I’d love to make it to 5 or so eventually!
That looks fun! Mandarin is down the road for my language learning journey for now though.
What is “true power” if not the ability to dictate the direction of society? Should the working classes not be able to direct society, and instead have to slave away under the rule of capital, who very much are okay with using violence?
No worries! It makes it more complicated to start, but it also has its strengths.
It’s only true in that you can interact with other federated instances on any federated account, but not all instances are federated with every instance. I can see Hexbear.net just fine from here, as can I see Lemmygrad.ml, but you will never see them from Lemmy.world accounts.
There’s also the fact that many instances vary in how they run things, what their local sort is like, etc.
The userbase is different, plus you’re on Lemmy.world, which is defederated from active communist instances like Hexbear.net.
Yea I wonder why that seems to be the case.
Turns out it was C, lol. See here
Incredible, but it makes sense that the current anticommunist government would downplay Nazi genocide if stopping it makes the communists look better.
No, they don’t. They label the ones that successfully survive as dictators so they can point and say socialism bad, but that’s not accurate.
Again, the majority of people who lived in socialist countries where socialism was dissolved regret its fall. This makes sense, considering an estimated 7-10 million people died from its dissolution, child prostitution skyrocketed, drug abuse skyrocketed, life expectancy plummeted, homelessness rose, joblesness rose, and economic growth stagnated or collapsed in most countries, only barely recovering decades later and with a privledged few making it out ahead with the rest left behind.
In reality, the USSR was dissolved from the top-down, by the Yeltsin faction, against the wishes of the people.
After this referendum, crisis hit and political instability skyrocketed, resulting in an agreement pushed by those who would loot the former Soviet States for profit.
Being apart from the norm isn’t an indication of correctness or incorrectness, and the overwhelming majority of those who lived in socialist countries that dissolved socialism regret said dissolution, so not sure what your point is.
The DNC isn’t even trying to appeal to leftists, they purely care about their donors, same as the GOP.
This is extremely vibes-based, and ignores foundational differences like modes of production and distribution.
No, they don’t, because that’s an absurd waste of resources. It’s a comically evil fairy tale told about the most sanctioned country on Earth to justify said sanctions.
Yep lol
