Sparta, so incredibly capitalist they used giant iron bars as currency and banned gold and silver.

Love these constant accusations that the left doesn't take racism seriously as though we haven't been talking about it to the exclusion of all else for decades now. Sorry, there's no "right racial politics" that is going to reach out and draw the black working class into socialist politics. If you don't believe me go start your own turbo-woke org, (as many have done), and see how many people are really interested in eating out of that trashcan.

How on earth does someone argue in all seriousness that the left has been talking about race to the exclusion of all else

>Sargon just idly says he agrees from time to time

>Jason misses a few good points to corner Sargon and corners himself instead

>but partly scores those points later, allegedly taking advice while scrolling through the /leftypol/ thread

>Sargon makes a breakthrough in dialectics and suggests his own theory on how capitalism will turn into communism (yes he admits communism is inevitable for the 2nd time now through his debates with leftists)

>he thinks so because he went to McDonald's the very same day and saw robots taking orders

>Sargon shills UBI

>Sargon doesn't understand what inflation means

>Sargon's sources for literally anything in the debate are Wikipedia and le poo poo friend of the family's latest book: Enlightenment Now

>Sargon allegedly read the communist manifesto and Capital (likely just the 1st volume) almost 20 years ago so he feels confident using Marxist terms and theorizing a communist society

>Sargon mentions slave economies from 2500-2000 years ago for some reason

>Sargon thinks culture can be accumulated like in a Sid Meier's Civilization game through war

>Sargon admits corporations control the government of the US but the government totally doesn't go to war for financial reasons

>Argumentum ad Sparta again

>Argumentum ad Imperium Romanum and again

>Argumentum ad excremento aethiopissa liber and yet again

I'm still impressed Unruhe has written as many books as he has, especially the one on the Fallout universe.

Gonna have to study up before I do my marathon Fallout series LP narrated within an Unruhe Thought ideological framework.

Apparently Zizek's face has been paralyzed for a month now. I don't see any news about him having a stroke either, it's all just conjecture. Most people think it's Bell's Palsy which would be good, becuase Bell's Palsy is a treatable temporary condition.

I could probably come up with a dozen specific reasons why USSR/Russia reeks of a country that has anything but a better model:
- The suppression of speech.
- The mass murder of journalists.
- The gulags.
- The overwhelming corruption.
- The entire country and any part of the USSR is miserable as gently caress, i.e. such is life is the answer to any lovely thing they deal with. When I traveled to Ukraine in 2011 my sister-in-law warned me that their family literally does not understand sarcasm i.e. things are so bad and backwards that any sarcasm is usually met not with a laugh but a nod and "... that is how it is."
- Have you seen family photos? They don't smile. When we (Americans) were taking pictures with one of their photographers there was a joke "Give me big American! smile!" *we smile* "Okay, now Ukrainian smile" everybody looks somber/expressionless.
- My sister-in-law loathes magic shows or trickery/sleight of hand or anything of that nature... mainly because tricks are all about what she was used to back home.
- Her sister (still in Ukraine) works for a company that forces her to vote a certain way, and when the "inspector" come the boss hustles all the workers for the bribe they need to pass inspection.
- Russians who manage to get out of Russia hate Russia. I got a lawyer-friend of mine that just says they're awful, awful people. It is mainly an effect of what they deal with/how their environment affected them.

So the proof USSR is bad is that Ukraine today is a corrupt shithole where your boss can force you to vote for his favored capitalist party?

e: alright I saw the whole post, and apparently that person is mentally ill and insists on referring to all former Soviet republics as USSR?

It's definitely Bell's Palsy, you can see him lift his arm and give a lecture in that cooking video. A stroke victim would struggle to tell you what number came after 6.
