How very… “first-world problem” of you. Do you read what you say before you post it? This is selfish and myopic as shit.
They are inconveniencing you. They are halting the manufacture of weapons being used to annihilate civilians. These two issues do not equate in the goddamn slightest.
What really made me question the usefulness of the term genocide when examining contemporary conflicts was reading that Milošević was posthumously exonerated for his alleged participation in genocide during the NATO invasion of Yugoslavia.
Even liberals cannot agree that genocide was the driving motivator for the conflict. However, the staunchest opponents to socialism – those hawks who eviscerated a multicultural nation in favor of replacing it with smaller ethnostates – are staunch in their support of the accusation.
It, ‘genocide’, is an easily weaponized thought-killer best reserved for discussion and examination of historical atrocities, imo. Hawks love comparing everything to the shoah. We see it weaponized against China, Yugoslavia, Russia, the USSR… hell, even the DPRK is regularly accused of having “genocidal” ambitions, somehow. Against Koreans? Who knows.
The truth is that the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 was only the formal declaration of a war that had been going on for years between the US-NATO-EU powers, which are using Ukraine as their spearhead, and capitalist Russia, which is being utilized as China’s cushion in the latter’s acute conflict with the USA over supremacy in the imperialist system.
Welp. KKE’s bought and paid for, huh?
I find the concept of Russia being China’s “cushion” just… it’s just such interesting alt-history. China is using Russia as a buffer against the U.S. in their inter-imperialist conflict over Ukraine. Fascinating stuff.
Russia must have become significantly smaller and weaker when I wasn’t looking, since it somehow became a Chinese satellite state hellbent on furthering Beijing’s imperial agenda.
I knew they’d keep taking massive Ls after they doubled, tripled and quadrupled down on supporting tailist homophobic garbage.

For real though, I take this as a piece of evidence that the PRC is exporting revolution. It is simply not in the form many of us imagined it would be.
It was almost clever using “control” so many times in your statement, but it made your commend kind of hard to read. I have no idea what you’re saying.
How is it that there is no question of, in your assessment of authoritarianism, how the controllers wound up in control? What class they represent? The median net wealth of every congressperson? How many of the controlled get fucking murdered by the controllers daily?
Scientific socialism is winning. Whatever you’re supporting is half-baked at best, especially if you’re still using words like authoritarian seriously.
Explain “real socialism” to me, please.
Tangentially related, but I recall watching this Vice documentary about the “witch” mafia currently pulling more than a few Romanian politicians’ strings.
To indicate at how horribly anti-religious totalitarian Romania was, they reference a story of the eldest witch being confronted by Romanian authorities about scamming people with magic hexes and shit. They claim she beat the shit out of one of the officers with a broom, had to pay a fine and spent a night or two in jail.
Are you fucking serious? What do you think would happen if you beat an Amerikkkan police officer with a broom? Muhforitarian Romania! Gommunist atheism has gone too far!

The last one is utterly jaw-dropping, not necessarily because I’m surprised Churchill said it, but how this sentiment has hardly suffered a dent in the contemporary “western” zeitgeist.
Replace a few words, trade “Aryan” for “European”, “civilized” for “developed”, and “barbaric” for “authoritarian”… boom, you’ve got a chart-topping WaPo OpEd.
Fucking Russian hackers inventing systemic racism wtf
It’s not “both sides bad”, it’s “they’re all on the same side”. The majority of Amerikans and non-Amerikans realize this. You are shilling for the bourgeoisie against the proletariat.
Watch In The Name of the People.
It’s a Chinese cop show, but instead of poor black people like in Amerika, they hunt down corrupt party officials and bourgeois scum circumventing Chinese law. It’s amazing and available for free with English subs on YouTube.
I beg you: literacy, especially critical reading skills, are a blessing. You are squandering that blessing.
I read it Sophomore year. It gave me nightmares for a while. I loved it.
Prosecutors said Ionov operated an entity called the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia that was used to carry out its U.S. influence efforts, overseen by the Russian intelligence service known as the FSB. They recruited U.S.-based organizations to help sway elections, make it appear there was strong support in the U.S. for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and backing efforts such as a 2015 United Nations petition to decry the “genocide of African people” in the U.S., according to the indictment.
How can these people be so fucking evil so as to view this worthy of being called espionage or treason. If this is the type of “espionage” Russia is doing, then they are sending human rights warriors here. Demanding the U.S. acknowledge its colonial present is worthy of support.
When you can’t even trust the communists, alleged Marxist-Leninists. Some “scientific” socialist parties.
Mfer keeps using the same MO when making usernames lol, probably be harder to spot them if they just used “Wisconcom2”, “Wisconcom3”, …
socialism is when beans, capitalism is when cheese cracker
Comrade and I met a Nicaraguan gusano at a BLM rally whose family apparently still hold political and financial power over swathes of Central America. He was an actual goddamn psychopath. He said he was there because he was interested in the “other side”, and the only thing he was interested in was accumulating as much power as possible. When my comrade asked him why he was going to school in the states he just replied “Power.” He said the contras were heroes and he wanted to be in the position to control death squads like his father did who “defended his property from rebels”. Just deranged as fuck.
Hell, I’ll take a
revisionist
Russia. Glad to hear they never abandoned socialism, at least.1991 who?
