mycorrhiza they/them

communism involves the abolition of the government. If you want to know what America does to communist movements undefended by government look at Indonesia in 1965–66

it is a requirement if you want to be a very rich social democracy

Economic liberalization is a defense against the kind of economic warfare that Cuba has been subjected to. Those are really the only two options: play ball with capitalism to some extent, or get strangled by sanctions.

I’ve been speaking with other more informed communists and they’ve told me

What’s that got to do with anything?

Stopping nazi rallies is the main thing antifa does. You seem to oppose them doing it.

I’d make them illegal, if I were in a position to do so

But you’re not. None of us are. So that leaves what other options?

test comment to see if this shows up, the other comment doesn’t

What is your solution to prevent nazi rallies?

Half of them are anarchists, calling them authoritarian is a grandpa’s facebook-tier understanding of the situation

That tends to happen when one side knows a lot more than the other side in a conversation

Do you oppose capitalism? Usually socialism implies not capitalism.

Some people have perverted the term to mean “capitalism but we have social services.”

Isn’t “sneed” mostly a 4chan joke these days? Seeing it in someone’s username always makes me squint

Before they were proven they would have been regarded as conspiracy theories.
