I am a proud indigenous American patriot. I am a devoted and stalwart Marxist Leninist. There is no contradiction. No I will not apologize for the offended sensibilities of right wingers, liberals, or anti communist sheep.
🇨🇳China has built the world's largest offshore converter station to collect electricity from sea wind turbines and send it ashore after conversion.
The station can deliver up to 2 million kilowatts of green electricity per hour.
Every. Single. Argument. Against. Communism.
Is a lie about Communism.
Why are there still morons that believe this stuff while China is actively proving them wrong every day?
His books were readily available to read in USSR. They were studied as any ideologies would be studied.
There is a great story Michael Parenti used to tell about a trip he took to USSR. He was with a bunch of American academics, who had been talking down on the Soviets and the censorship they guessed they had been under.
When one of them asked a Soviet academic which western theorists he’d read, he rattled off a long list, which both Friedman and Hayek were on. The Soviet then asked the American which Soviet theorists he’d been able to read.
And the American couldn’t list a single one.
That story is a perfect encapsulation of how real, effective censorship works. You’re not outright forbidden to read. You are, instead, gaslit into it with billions of dollars worth of propaganda, information marginalization, distortion, and lies.
This is why you still find people today who believe in cartoons, rather than simply opening their eyes and looking at the real world, who retreat into safe abstractions rather than face the cold, hard reality that we are the most propagandized, socially engineered, and brain washed people in history.
🇨🇳Under socialism, China has:
>lifted 800M people out of poverty
>became the 2nd largest economy in the world
>rapidly increased literacy rates and life expectancy
>built the most technologically advanced cities
America could have this too if they didn't spend billions on war.
Me reading history on how Soviet Socialism was sold out by Gorbachev and his liberalized allies in 1991
The USSR made rapid progress in industrialization, education, science & tech, and poverty alleviation— only for treacherous elites to destroy it with privatization reforms.
