  • Theoretically China is what they call “communism with Chinese characteristics”. Many Marxist still regard China as socialist, generally it’s only libtards that have this opinion. For instance the real estate bubble in China would have been catastrophic for any Western democratic government. In China they just nationalized the company is that we’re failing and forgave all their debt. Now they don’t have to worry about those companies again since they were nationalized. Point to an example of a capitalist country that nationalized industry like this.

    Cuba is definitely a socialist state and has not returned to capitalism. If they had returned to capitalism the us would have lifted sanctions because the Cuban bourgeoisie would be able to return and try to reclaim “their lost wealth”. They consistently hold referendums for the public to vote on how to organize the National Industry. In fact they’re probably the closest thing to a successful socialist project in the western world. Down to and including having democratically elected leaders that can be recalled.

    Last I checked that’s not something that happens in the western world. Few countries have nationalized resources and practically none of them allow people to vote on how those nationalized resources are used.



  • Gee I wonder what happens to the line “Capitalism lifted millions out poverty” when you take out China. 🤦

    Notice how we don’t have FDR style protections anymore and haven’t since the 1970s? Doesn’t count if it doesnt exist anymore. The only places those safety nets exist is in the Scandinavian countries and those protections are the result of the Second International which was a Communist organization.

    Che Guevara is a commie so I guess I don’t actually have a problem with that. But a commie warlord would actually idolize Mao. Learn your communist figures.

    71 countries in the global south are considered democratic by the West. Thats a full 45% of them including places like Argentina, Brazil, Chile. Notice how all of these countries have issues that are already solved in the US? Notice how having a Democratic government in place didn’t create safety nets. Notice how these place dont have a safety net.

    Sorry what was that about socialist countries solving or having similar problems that “Democratic governments” still haven’t solved themselves?

    Like we aren’t already living in an authoritarian hell hole where the government doesnt represent the will of the people.

    Democratic governments have a strong safety net? Really? Better tell then nearly a million homeless in the richest country in the world that they have better social nets then china, cuba, USSR which all guaranteed a home for everyone to live in. Hell there is still a guarantee in the Russian constitution which is better then non-acknowledgement of the US.

    Did you notice how the global south is still poor and has major issues and just about every fucking country is a Democratic government?

    Calling Che Guvera a dictator is hilarious since he died fighting for Revolution in Bolivia after he helped free Cuba from the US imperialist grip. Definitely the actions of a power hungry dictator that already won power in an island nation.

    You still haven’t done any fucking reading. Could you stop with the fucking NATO, imperialist propaganda please. If you aren’t then at least get more informed. Your embarssing to all the other boot lickers.

    Edit:

    Cuba has a strong protections for its people and a growing economy due to trade with the BRICS alliance.

    China has uplifted millions out of poverty before capitalism was introduced in the 1990s

    Rojava is doing well for itself considering its location in northern Syria.






  • Society works exactly as expected for the capitalists. At the end of the day we’re only dollars to them.

    Often both political parties answer to capitalist with Representatives that are also capitalists with absolutely no way to force them to answer to the people.

    It’s time to let this system go and switch to something new. Electoralism will not save us.




  • Nah this conflict’s a little over 200 years old since it comes directly from Theodore herzl’s work in 1850.

    Many Jewish people did have a choice and many specifically chose not to move there.

    The mass expulsions you’re talking about were Community Driven by those that Associated the Zionist actions of the nakba with the Jewish indigenous people. It’s unfortunate but that’s what happens when your group claims to be the sole voice of Jewish people.

    Hell there’s at least one terrorist attack that occurred in Iraq that we know was caused by Israeli terrorists. We don’t know if they actually work for the government but we do know they were Israeli and we do know they were Zionist. This was because not enough Jewish people were moving into Israel to make it a viable state.

    Let’s talk World War II. Obviously there’s the shoal. But what about the other 6 million people that were also killed that weren’t Jewish? You know the Kurds, Roma, disabled, lqbtq, mentally disabled, the Poles and other Slavic communities who all had a state that they belong to that we’re not defended by that state. Furthermore those people didn’t think they needed a state for self-determination.

    Don’t forget the total dead in the Holocaust is 11 million. There’s more that suffered in that period than just the Jewish people.

    I would love to talk about when the two State Solutions were going to become viable. Was it during the Oslo Accords when Israel refused to acknowledge a path to the two State solution? What about the abraham Accords? In fact name one time in a period of History where Israel has ever been okay with the two-state solution.

    I’m sure whatever you have to prove that Israel was okay with the two State solution will absolutely not be a piece of United States or Mossad propaganda not missing critical details or misrepresenting the situation.

    And furthermore as I said it’s not like the Jewish people could not have gone there they only had to integrate with the already existing Community rather than trying to supplant it with what they called their “Superior Jewish one”

    Well this is where you and I break away and disagree then.

    One, the founder of Zionism Theodore Herzl was very very clear what this was about. Its explicitly a settler colonial state exactly the same way the US or South Africa are.

    Two, you don’t need your own country to have self-determination otherwise immigrants would not have come to the US seeking self-determination. As long as you were free to pursue whatever you want you have access to self-determination. A state is not necessary. Preferably Israel would be turned into a multicultural secular State instead of a Jewish Supremacy state. Any attempt to label Jewish people as in danger from this would be racist since the government would be secular.

    Three, the Palestinians have every right same as the Jewish people and more so since they had a continuous presence in the land to also live there with self-determination.

    Four, surveys overwhelmingly in Israel show a couple of things. Firstly they do show that Netanyahu is fairly unpopular for his handling of the hostage crisis. Overwhelmingly Israelis are fine with the actions of the IOF. Most recent polls show 80% want more aggressive action against Gaza. The governments line on comparing Palestinians to “Amalek” and the agreeance of the majority of the population Israel show that the genocidal rhetoric is not what’s unpopular with Netanyahu

    Five, Israel has got to be one of the most racist places that I currently know about. It’s lovely watching all the videos in Flag Day where all of these lovely Jewish families were chanting “death to Arabs” in Hebrew which leads into one of the anti-Zionist Jewish points that Zionism is inherently racist since it specifically calls for a race of Jews.

    If you want to commiserate with these points go to Reddit. Most on Lemmy are very aware of the history of Zionism, Israel, and Palestine.

    Edit:

    I can Source every single one of these claims. Let me know if you want them.



  • Yeah except they try in earnest to say that criticism of “their” country is “antisemitism”

    Or that any criticism of Zionism is antisemitic. There are of course people who do use antizionism talking points as a defense for their anti-semitism but I feel like most people are able to draw the line pretty clearly.

    Also the country is committing a genocide so there’s going to be quite a lot of hate for it and rightly so given that their responsible for at least 200,000 deaths. And anyone who tries to defend that is kind of get called out for it
