Problematic to stop genocide? Reflect on what you just said, that’s monstrous.

4.41 stars on Goodreads is one of the highest scores.

What are we selling? The work is free and in the public domain.

I absolutely can acknowledge the real existing struggles faced by AES states, and can offer contextualization or explanation of how we can avoid making the same mistakes. What’s more evident than anything is that you don’t actually know what those struggles really were, so you throw it all under the banner of “COMMUNISM BAD,” which I can’t engage with.

If you ask me about a specific event, time period, action, etc. we can have an actual dialogue. Failing all else, I recommend you read Blackshirts and Reds by Dr. Michael Parenti, he takes a critical eye towards the successes and failures of the Soviet Union in a way that analyzes what actually happened there.

Eventually the real world will let you know that Marxists are right, yet again.

Both Wage Labor and Capital and Wages, Price, and Profit are free, as well as excellent for beginners with no experience in economics (though it’s easier to understand if you’ve at least taken a high-school or college level economics course).

Unlike Capitalists, Communists advocate for moving beyond the profit motive 😉

You can’t answer what you’re talking about, you can’t explain which of the things I’ve said is misinformation nor why that is, all you do is call others “Russian Bots” or “Commies” like a 1960s American McCarthyite.

What do you mean? How do you keep using money after moving to a fully publicly owned, planned economy? You will still use tokens to exchange for goods from the public, but it wouldn’t be tradeable with others to prevent accumulation and profit.

🕺

Yes, actually, eventually abolition of money is an important goal of Communism. You may wish to read Prices in a Planned Economy to learn more about what that looks like and how it’s done.

What mistruths? You can’t point to anything, you just namecall and slander. Point out something specific.

How am I misleading anyone? What have I said that’s false? You might need to step away from the keyboard for a bit.

What, specifically, are you asking about? Are you asking about why it was dissolved from the top down and sold for parts to the west? Or is this about something more specific?

For clarity, the Soviet Union marked dramatic improvements for the lives of the Working Class, and showed that Socialism is a working economic model. Asking what went “wrong” without asking specifics helps nobody, the best answer to that is just directing you to Blackshirts and Reds, which took a critical look at what went right and what didn’t in the Soviet Union and how it collapsed, along with the brutal reintroduction of Capitalism that killed 7 million people.

What in the world are you on about now? Can you come back down to the realm of reality, so we can uave an actual conversation? How would I be both a Russian Bot and an all-powerful third party voter that somehow decided this election?

I advocate for worker organization and revolution, I blame the Dems for spoiling the left as far-right wingers and I blame the Reps as far-right wingers. Even if every single third party voter in every swing state voted for Harris and convinced 2 or 3 others to do the same, Harris still would have lost handily.

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

1. The Democrats share responsibility with the Republicans and Imperialists that have supported Israel’s settler-colonial genocide for nearly a hundred years

2. I have been pro-Palestine since far before October 7th, 2023

3. Even if I wanted to get Trump elected, I couldn’t. The Democrats lost because they ran an awful campaign and shifted even further right despite polling telling them that at that point swing voters would rather vote for Republicans.

This meme is US-centric.

They competed against Trump in 2020 and ran a more progressive campaign, and won. They competed against Trump in 2024 and ran a genocidal campaign that paraded around warmongers like Liz Cheney, and lost even the popular vote.

Obama is the premier example of a warmongering neoliberal that could perfectly orate for progressive voters despite his actual policy, both domestic and foreign.

It is not the same thing, lol. If Arab-Americans wanted Trump to win, they would have voted for Trump.
