An activist being moderately inconvenienced from ending up on some watch list is exactly the same as systematic oppression. This reminds of conservative whites in America comparing some moderate inconvenience to actual slavery. crabcakes66 fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Jul 18, 2015 |

Chomskyan posted:On the other hand, polling data So basically lingering effects of the dumbshit Iraq war and the date of that poll misses recent Russian and Chinese aggression and the deal with Iran. Meanwhile in your article: quote:While poll respondents seem anxious about the United States’ role in world affairs, many of them would have no problems moving to America if they could. The United States topped WIN/Gallup’s list of top countries people would move to with 9 percent of the vote. Also: polling data!

Communism is the nonexistent pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And that rainbow is made of dead bodies.

HorseLord posted:I love this idea of the solidly defined, fixed human nature, which transcends all history and every known society, despite all evidence to the contrary. The idea that all human beings all secretly have the same personality, and if they try to do something good, then they'll transform involuntarily like a werewolf on a full moon. "Free will doesn't exist, so it's okay I'm a shitpile and also so are you secretly". 3edgy5me bro Yeah if we could like, just get like 7 billion people to hold hands and have a drum circle man. Like things would be so cool dude. crabcakes66 fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Jul 19, 2015 |

I think the only way to decide which system is better is bodycount since WW2. So what has directly or indirectly resulted in the deaths of more people. Capitalism or Communism?
