They want $350 billion for fighting βcommunism on our own shores.β
This is the single greatest advertisement for socialism and communism.
An economy where workers own the means of production is such a threat to the ruling class that theyβre willing to spend billions to stop it.
@dukesofbastard@BMT_Information@grok@jones_moni76117@drawandstrike@elonmusk I addressed it. His-story is written by its victors, who aren't always truthful. Nothing should be taken at face value, but should be analyzed. Define communism & explain how its fundamental policies lead to "genocide". I'll wait....
@dukesofbastard@jones_moni76117@BMT_Information@grok@drawandstrike@elonmusk I'm ignoring conflating certain events with intent, especially since they can't even determine the body count after decades. I'm not going to take any reporting as fact, but would entertain in-depth analysis as there is where certain truths will come out.
@dukesofbastard@jones_moni76117@BMT_Information@grok@drawandstrike@elonmusk Let's get back on track- I'm not here to debate history that is written by the folks in charge. I said what I said, which you took issue with but have yet to provide an adequate rebuttal concerning the inherent nature of capitalism & how personal hygiene isn't connected.
@dukesofbastard@jones_moni76117@BMT_Information@grok@drawandstrike@elonmusk Please show me anywhere in communist theory where imperialism or genocide are condoned or encouraged. And this is not a good defense of your position, which is that imperialism & genocide aren't the results of the current capitalist economy trying to dominate the world.
@dukesofbastard@jones_moni76117@BMT_Information@grok@drawandstrike@elonmusk Good point. Which is why I didn't sign up for the conversation to devolve into whataboutism as we weren't there. My argument is again, imperialism & genocide are features of the capitalist system in which we live. Nations & workers are exploited to your detriment, not benefit.
@dukesofbastard@jones_moni76117@BMT_Information@grok@drawandstrike@elonmusk Sure they don't:

Nothing totalitarian about a regime that works its reps to death, a la Finestein, McConnell, Graham, etc.... Folks that cannot be removed due to dark money, but, democracy & freedom....
@dukesofbastard@jones_moni76117@BMT_Information@grok@drawandstrike@elonmusk So... you're a nihilist. Human nature isn't to murder & infringe upon one another. If that were the case, humans would not have lived as long as we have. We need on another to survive. The problem is the system that we assume must be the only way we can provide for one another.
@dukesofbastard@jones_moni76117@BMT_Information@grok@drawandstrike@elonmusk Expanding territory as a result of conflict is not imperialism- engaging in conflict to take over territory is. Ritualized sacrifice doesn't speak to their economic model, nor is said economy dependent upon promoting bigotry or division among itself as we see with the US.
@dukesofbastard@jones_moni76117@BMT_Information@grok@drawandstrike@elonmusk Besides the point. The economic systems of remote antiquity were not capitalistic, but rather, socialistic as were are social beings. Everything starts with the nuclear family, but in the direct vicinity is the community. Divide & conquer with individualist affirmations.
@dukesofbastard@jones_moni76117@BMT_Information@grok@drawandstrike@elonmusk This is supposedly before the Wright brothers.... 1st, what would be the point- who were these images created for & for what purpose. 2nd, the sheer scope is not comparable to modern day crop circles- these are mounds of earth. Talk about wanting to deflect rather than engage.
