may i remind you that as a left-libertarian:

  1. i support the constitution, despite its flaws, and even the flaws about the founding fathers.
  2. i support limited government within a socialist framework
  3. i’m pretty sure there are revisionists here on hexbear which is fine - everyone has their own opinion, and some (including the people here) have their own taste of socialism/communism.
  4. i do NOT condone the actions of stalin in any way, shape and form - between stalin and trotsky, i’d go with trotsky. he should’ve succeeded lenin in the 1920s to begin with.
  5. there are democratic and libertarian forms of communism such as/like de leonism, left-communism and even council communism.
  6. i find the idea of a multi-party communist country (like in ‘reds! a revolutionary timeline’ (you can also find the wiki here (just DON’T vandalize it, and i mean it!), or in nepal through ‘people’s multiparty democracy’) to be interesting.

    cia infiltrates your country and starts shoveling weapons to local insurgents, wdyd? meow-floppy

    you get sieged, and nice little men in free press in very fancy costumes promise that siege will be lifted if you just sell your nice resources to nice fancy men, no biggie, they know what they are doing and will bring prosperity for all? meow-floppy

    after providing free education, nice fancy man invite your best specialists and artists with higher salaries, wdyd? meow-floppy

    (for my suspicions, i do think some sort of ansyn bottom-up is likelier route inside the usa, cause porkies can’t fight something they can’t see, but be real about some other stuff inside whole ass countryand society)

      In this situation I would support the rights of insurgents to not do bad things and I would emphasize the idea of unity and respect to frustrate the attempt at subversion.

      by “ansyn”, do you mean anarcho-syndicalism?

      also, i live in the us. if the cia decides to have a coup against the us, the people would fight back. then the cia would get reformed when the people wins.
