The ACP is so desperate for attention now that their MAGAcommunism grift is dead that they're paying right wingers to engage in fake debates and then posting fake comments on their fake debate that they were fake convinced by their fake Chairman.
There is a proverb: a Marxist who is not called an anarchist is surely no Marxist, and an anarchist who is not denounced as a Leninist is a poor anarchist.
Yes, they were objectively improving their living conditions.
Yes, it was still Colonialism/Imperialism.
The fact that neither side seems to get this is tiring.
I’ve been thinking about this image (and the discourse around it) for about three weeks and i haven’t been able to shake the gut feeling that there is a significant number of people who would’ve been fine with Canada’s residential schools if they were Soviet
@antonchadekoek I think on some level we should *broadly* agree on tactics, but ignoring regional context seems counterproductive. Like half of Leninist, Trotskyist, or ML theory was trying to account for Russia being a backwater
Hearing leftists argue over what kind of leftist they are is some Catholic v. Protestant shit. No one can afford rent anymore and we're all gonna die, maybe focus on that and we'd get somewhere.

@Mike_Oxlong1312@SBVSnow It's not even that I inherently disagree with them in theory or politics. What I disapprove of usually at least makes some sense, unfortunately, but there is a sub-cultural rot in how they approach...well, fucking reality honestly
@Kamn_Krtz@antonchadekoek The non-economic lynchpins of society, held up by the means of production in effect. A DotP is achievable but we don't know how it'd tangibly effect art, laws, religion, etc
Vonnegut's criticism of American POWs reminds me of that scene in The Sopranos where the Russian woman tells Tony that Americans expect nothing bad to ever happen to them (while the rest of the world expects only bad and isn’t disappointed) and that they have everything yet still complain.
This attitude of automatic expectation of good fortune in all things—which most people who grow up in the U.S. take as some sort of birthright—probably goes the furthest toward explaining why so many Americans seem to crack so easily when they experience the slightest setback or misfortune.
It's a way of looking at life that few throughout the rest of the world could probably even comprehend.
@GramsciPartisan in theory, sure, they obviously departed from a lot of Russian chauvinism and I commend them for that
in practice, most of the attempts were done early in the USSR's lifespan, much was curbed around the time of WW2 and later leaders didn't care much about indigenous rights, with
