there will be no war with china. anyway here is why china is the equivalent of Nazi Germany, perhaps worse

i have more respect for the insane war hawks who want to invade, a position consistent with wanting to stop the massive 21st century holocaust.

like it’s very clear that the PRC is suppressing elements of Uighur culture. punishing posters for pointing out that they’re not mass killing Uighurs is dumb

I wouldn't exactly say that Batista just rolled over and died like you mention, but he definitely did not put up as big of a fight as you would expect, he did just sort of hop on a plane and vanish as his control crumbled in his grasp

when did I say batista rolled over and died? his regime fought tooth and nail for years and they tortured and killed a poo poo ton of people associated with the revolution and even those who werent involved. he was a monster and so were his supporters. the revolution was good. imo its just not something that marxists can draw a lot of broad lessons from and it doesnt represent the kind of revolutionary movement that marxists are trying to build.

Terror had seized the privileged precincts of society—the postmidnight knock, the search and confiscations in the presence of summoned neighbors (“witnesses” were required by law), the wailing of spouses and children, the disappearances without trace, the fruitless pleading for information at NKVD reception windows, the desperate queues outside transit prisons and unheard screams inside, the bribes to guards for scraps of information on whereabouts. But ordinary Soviet inhabitants mostly did not feel an immediate threat of arrest. As the morbid joke had it, when uniformed men arrived and said “NKVD,” people answered, “You’ve got the wrong apartment—the Communists live upstairs.”

there is actually no contradiction between a nationalist movement and a socialist movement when the nation in question is subject to imperialism, and it's no accident that fight whose first objective was just independence from us control turned next to socialism. nothing else could have done it

i understand that national liberation movements can lead to socialist movements and that socialists should support the struggle of national liberation movements. however the point im making and the point a lot of other historians would make is that castro and much of the rest of the 26h of july movement never actually set out to break cuba free of their relationship with the US, only to overthrow batista. the break with the us came about because of a lot of factors some of which were the presence of actual socialists in the movement and a lot of which was american incompetence regarding its foreign policy towards cuba. my general feeling is that castro likely had a post batista cuba that more closely resembled mandelas post apartheid south africa in mind than what actually occurred. read about frank sturgis to see just how loving insane and incoherent the us approach to cuba was at this time.

i don't disagree, but the point I'M making is that that kind of socialism through scope creep is in fact perfectly cromulent and much more realistic than a scenario in which a critical mass of workers are turned into socialists through political education and do a general strike because they're tired of the dang value form

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

I'm sorry if I missed it but I don't see that "Castro did not set out to be a socialist" and "the revolutionary Cuban government has never been socialist" are necessarily in conflict?

anyways people should be able to discuss these topics and express skepticism including their support of biden without punishment

looks like the mods want to stamp out people that dont toe the state department line though without realizing the irony that they are saying they are okay with supporting the wagers of genocide and mass murder (e.g. yemen, venezuela, bolivia) if it's in the form us official us state dept policy since they will selectively not punish for these stances

It's funny that the mods haven't banned me for my 'genocide denialism', cuz I'm a full denalist and I keep posting it. But maybe it's because it would be too on the nose since every time I deny this fake genocide I point out that the Nazis started with stripping citizenship and ethnic removal, too, and so what does that make liberals besides a bunch of loving brown shirts?

Anyway holy God Jeffrey. The people you modded are too stupid to breath without the assistance of a metronome. Just demod them already and stop making more IKs from the goddamn chat threads.

It sucks rear end that this forum occasionally has good posting but they put the worst offenders in the world when it comes to being super uncritical in charge lol. And how does this forum have 45 mods and IKs and I've only ever seen like 4 post? Even if you're a mega thread dipshit who needs to gently caress off like smarxist you think they'd post somewhere I'd see it eventually, right? It's the worst mods since the GBS era where they had stars such as the mod who got horny sniffing women's hair on the bus and was probably a pedophile, the other ones that were pedophiles etc. So using my power of deductive reasoning I can only assume that the CSPAM mods are also pedophiles, since they are equally unsociable and too weird to live in a free society
