@ygzgzot @bhangbhangducx This isn't the issue. Should and is are different words. The question is what policy the USSR should have pursued. Bordigaist freaks and the like will yell at you and call you a stalinist when you say it shouldn't be capitalist.

@bhangbhangducx So what exactly do they disagree about beside semantics?

[Dialectrician @dialectrician]

@bhangbhangducx The debate around sioc has always seemed so inane to me. It's fine if you don't want to call it socialism because of foreign trade or whatever. But surely it should be meaningfully not-capitalism? And I don't think Trotsky disagreed about that.

@LasgunSunflower But also aren't succubi an invention of misogynist medieval monks, whereas incubi are a roman folklore thing? Say what you want about the romans they understood that a sex demon is probably male.

@bhangbhangducx Literally all the Prussian King had to do was say "yes, actually, I'd like to be emperor of Germany".

When I start seeing Nimby vs yimby crap on the timeline is a good sign I need to log off.

@andyburzum I still haven't fully internalized that some people take these seriously. I thought that "Polymarket says" was a meme.

@JanPogman2 I was often seeing this guy on my timeline and I thought he was just a normal lib until he suddenly came out as megahitler.

I had never realized how modern the term imperialism was. Point to Lenin, I guess.

@Greynxgga69 What is this macro-structural relationship, distinct from capitalism as such?
