@DavidLevy3afz@SpencerGuard I’m not saying Israel is doing everything on the up and up. I’m certain they have committed war crimes. You could certainly argue that they’re trying to ethnically cleanse Palestine, but they’re clearly not exterminating the Palestinians (genocide)
@DavidLevy3afz@SpencerGuard Accepted death toll in Gaza is in the 70,000s. There are 130 births per day, I’m not sure what numbers your AI is using but the maths is very simple

@DavidLevy3afz@SpencerGuard The last couple years has been far far away the fastest rate at which Israelis have killed Palestinians. During this period more babies have been born in Gaza than people killed. If even at the fastest rate of killing the population is growing how does that lead to extermination?
@DavidLevy3afz@SpencerGuard How miraculous that despite destroying the majority of the buildings 97% of the people survived. Maybe because they were warning people to leave those buildings? Again tho, if the intent is eradication, why haven’t they blown up all the undefended tent cities?
@DavidLevy3afz@SpencerGuard They could use non nuclear and wipe them out within a few days, lots of them are currently in tent cities… how hard do you think it would be for Israel to take out a tent city if it wanted to?
@DavidLevy3afz@SpencerGuard Yes, horrific things true of many wars. You didn’t address the fact that if Israel wanted to wipe them out they could do it in a day, and they haven’t
@MarxismEternal@ImtiazMadmood This is a key factor in the 10s of millions that starved to death in Mao’s Great Leap Forward. When people weren’t rewarded for working hard, guess what, they stopped working hard, food supplies plummeted and the rest is history
@MarxismEternal@ImtiazMadmood I’ve read some Marx, I understand what socialism is and I understand it’s fatal flaws, inc. the dream of an extremely equal society producing an incentive structure that is incompatible with human nature. Mostly,people only work hard when they think they’ll be rewarded handsomely
@MarxismEternal@ImtiazMadmood Read what I wrote, it’s your definition that was incomplete which is why I illustrated that this scenario actually fits your definition for socialism, showing your definition is too narrow
@MarxismEternal@ImtiazMadmood The definition of socialism encompasses more than just capital control. It’s also about wealth and income equality, about provision of basic services etc. China has high income and wealth inequality and has around a fifth of the world’s billionaires. Unaffordable housing.
@MarxismEternal@ImtiazMadmood No actually- if you look around you’ll see that there is no fixed universal definition of socialism. Do you think it’s you who defines socialism? “Socialism is about capital control and that is it” is a clear violation of most definitions of socialism
@MarxismEternal@ImtiazMadmood Youre picking a looser definition of socialism that is obviously not the one OP is referring to. In China people can become immensely wealthy if they succeed, this provides incentive. OP is referring to a more hardline socialism where there is little to no reward for hard work
@MarxismEternal@ImtiazMadmood Very loose use of ‘objectively’. Also, China has succeeded since it shifted to more of a market economy. It has moved further from communism, not closer to it
@MandingoDogg@DanBilzerian@TheSonOfPersia@netanyahu What is it you think you’re showing here? Ashkenazis didn’t descend from Ashkenaz. They were named Ashkenazi because that’s how they referred to the area of Eastern Europe where they lived.
