axeil posted:"Also, if you think about it, all American institutions and capitalism itself help support white supremacy, therefore all are Nazi enablers and eligible for violent retribution." among the really dumb things in this article, this stands out the most. participating in exploitative and white supremacist institutions doesn't make a person either and only thought-free caricatures of "the left" think so thinking that a critique of the united states couched in anti-racism and anti-capitalism includes its entire population reveals certain...biases

Your Parents posted:its probably because nk keeps putting out press releases claiming that they're going to attack civilian targets as soon as they have the capability and generally making official government communication that's all threats of violence. the language of deterrence usually isnt supposed to be "hit me or i'll hit you first bitch" if you actually read the statements you'll notice this isn't true at all and every threat the dprk makes is conditional on an action by the us

Hellblazer187 posted:Also - book reqs? You guys have a Clintonite flirting with socialism. Get me over the edge. economic problems of socialism in the ussr by j.v. stalin Boon posted:Something I've never really pondered before about a 100% socialist economy is how are things valued? Like, if someone is paid for the 'actual' value of their labor, how is that determined? in socialist countries, firms operate(d) under the auspices of state ownership with bodies of workers, managers and party members calling the shots. rather than directing profits back into the firms via top level pay, the money would go to the state, which administrated various universal benefits. there would also be a bonus levied to the workers of the firm that in a capitalist economy would be surplus value flowing right into the pockets of the bourgeoisie. the bonus would increase with productivity or for those working in hazardous conditions

i'm a print journalist and people itt who think the staffing situation at wapo is exceptional have no clue about anything. that is baseline poo poo at any employer part of the news guild or any communications union. bloomberg bna (which kept its union after being bought out) puts those benefits to shame and they're a trade paper. rather than blessing lord god jeffrey for his endless generosity perhaps we should be...thanking the union??? without which i have no doubt bezos would be clear cutting that place and making it even more of a state dept mouthpiece than it already is R.

the use of russian as a lingua franca for the soviet government doesn't invalidate the very obvious attempts to maintain autonomy and self-determination for ethnic minorities in the ussr (and the prc for that matter.) you might remember a little thing called world war II that got in the way of perfectly enacting early nationalities policy

Ogmius815 posted:I'll also never forget the time that the Russians gracefully accepted the Czechs decision to adopt liberalizing reforms in the late sixties. The Soviets really showed their true colors then. eastern bloc uprisings have nothing to do with nationalities policy within the ussr. you know, that thing hungary and czechoslovakia weren't part of

Ardennes posted:I think Soviet nationalities policy would have worked a lot better without the idea of a monolithic vanguard party to be honest. Of course, the revolution/civil war wouldn't have worked without one either. It is a bit of a catch 22. the policy got hosed up real bad by wwii. preservation of the whole union was the priority but after the war i'd argue the cpsu was largely successful in maintaining national autonomy. it wasn't just russians in the party, after all

Ardennes posted:In that case the Gulag mirrored our own system, it is just at least according to that paper (based on a fond from GARF), Gulag prisoners were being paid 50-70% of civilian wages. the work credit system outlined in the second paper combined with the "moral incentive" system and rehabilitative culture neither document goes into detail about shows the system was very different than what most americans think of as prison labor
