He just enjoys making accounts and the tankie is mad at his hobby? 😂

Evading BLOCKS, then? Does that make you happy?

.ml bans at the drop of a hat for even the slightest dissent, I’m sure he was banned too.

I have read Anti-Duhring , that’s why I specifically brought up Duhring immediately after saying I liked Engels better than Marx.

The problem is, social democracy didn’t fail in practice, and Marxism did because, while China is economically successful, the Nordic states are much more successful per capita and have things like basic human rights, AND China’s success largely occurred after they switched to a mixed economy, effectively abandoning Marxism.

I have read Wage, Labor and Capital in its entirety, as well as Value, Price, and Profit. Both are better than the manifesto, which I’ve also read. His critique of Gotha was also interesting. I think Engels was honestly much more interesting than Marx, though Eugen Dühring was more practical (as demonstrated by the success of SocDems and the Nordic model, while “Marxism” never went anywhere in a practical sense.

China saw a 60% increase in billionaires between 2020 and 2021 alone. It fell since then but it’s still higher than it was pre-pandemic, and WAY higher than it was in the '70s before China went free market.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs… Here’s a list of people that apparently have a LOT of needs

Well, you linked a twitter thread that links an OpEd where a wealthy Chinese national says “China for sure is just fine I promise, anyone who says it isn’t is a liar”, so you’ve GOTTA be right.

Your illiteracy isn’t my responsibility

I mean, Cuba had a bloody history and some rough years because of the US fucking them over, but they seem to be doing better now. I respect Cuba 1000x more than China. Unfortunately, they’re still a one-party state without free and fair elections. The Nordic model leads to much better outcomes, though that’s a mixed economy and I know you tankies fucking hate that.

I’m a Nordic Model to Meidner Plan kinda guy.

I don’t hate everyone in the middle east, I hate warmongers all over the globe.

Are you saying everyone in the middle east is part of these organizations dedicated to genocide? Pretty fuckin’ racist, man.

I gave you the effort I thought you deserved 👍

Oh, I have. What’s really fun is talking to Chinese expats who no longer fear government reprisal. I did a lot of interviews as part of a thesis on the concept of a social panopticon and panoptic influence.

China and Russia aren’t socialist, if they were socialist then the workers would own the means of production.

They’re both just capitalist oligarchies with dictators who disappear their enemies and fake elections.
