Everything makes sense now for an average yankee - Lemmygrad

Where’s the shitpost?
Occupy Democrats are shit, and they posted this once.
You actually believe in his nonsense?
Occupy Dems is so pitiful. I usually don’t like thecword cuck but hey, it fits.

Trump tried to weaken NATO

Democrats will believe anything as long as it’s against Orange Man

He tried to push an increase of NATO spending to 4% GDP and also increased U.S. military presence in Europe.

I was reading it like, what the fuck are they talking about, his entire shtick was going to Europe and saying “We need to you to spend more on NATO! It’s a bad deal folks! We aren’t getting enough! If they don’t pay up then we’ll withdraw!”

I won’t deny that he was more Russia-friendly than Biden ended up being but “absolute frothing at the mouth hatred” isn’t a hard bar to pass. Like, not wanting to start an extremely transparent proxy war with your long-time nuclear rival just seems like common sense

Now that’s not entirely fair, he withheld aid to Ukraine to try and blackmail them into slandering his political opponent('s son).
Slander is the oral communication of false statements.
No it isn’t stupid tankie! Slander is when the bad guy team says things about my good guy team! 😡 😡 😡
Just based on everything else I know about the guy, I am entirely positive that veracity was not something he cared/cares about.
BUT HER EMAILS!!!

Critical support for Comrade Don for dismantling NATO and stripping down the military of the greatest villain of the this century.

Where’s the pisstape, libshit? I’be been promised a pisstape 7 years ago!

NATO Members Ramp Up Defense Spending After Pressure From Trump

Bloomberg
I wonder if the downvoters clicked the links to see that all of them said the opposite thing
Of course not. Libs hate reading things. Just look at how many of them think this socialist instance is a republican one because we don’t do the empty “Orange mad bad”
Everyone knows the most efficiency and morally responsible way to consume news is to process only headlines and ignore everything else. In the case of links, whatever the link text is is sufficient.
You’re still on that bs? 😂
Which showed her rigging the entire elction in her favor and even setting up trump? An election she still managed to lose? Your hag is not only evil, but also completely incompetent.
Fuck communists
Go ahead 😩😘😳😈
You’re gonna have to ask nicely first
Gotta ask for consent
Your very next comment was complaining that your teacher made you buy her textbook for $250, I can’t even make this up lol
Lib self awareness challenge: impossible.

Just because I hate communists doesn’t mean I love capitalism.

It’s almost like there is more than two ways of thinking, you fucking retard

Three guesses as to what tripped the filter; hint, it’s one of the favorite words of techbro yanqui wannabes

You’re right, there’s capitalism, socialism, and fascism. That’s literally what the third way is.

Banned for being a fascist fuck.

No thanks; I stopped slipping it to capitalist parasite yanquis years ago.

Stop cucking for capitalists maybe?

Why is it that you asshats love trolling on our instance, but when anyone says anything remotely socialist anywhere else, we are instantly “tankies” and get banned.

The fuck is wrong with you, mentally?

Cry harder. Capitalism won:

We will never surrender. We either win, or we die. And don’t think that it stops there. You shall have the next generation to fight, and after the next, the next.

We have stood against you for over two hundred years, and as long as capital survives, we shall stay with you until your end.

Jesus son, I hope you are saying this ironically because a part of me thinks you aren’t. What you just said is… embarrassing.

It’s a paraphrase from The Lion of the Desert, not that I was expecting a dullard like you to pick up on that; I don’t expect serious discussions from this subcommunity.

But to put it less dramatically, yes, class struggle shall always be a consequence of capitalism:

To say that “the worker has an interest in the rapid growth of capital”, means only this: that the more speedily the worker augments the wealth of the capitalist, the larger will be the crumbs which fall to him, the greater will be the number of workers than can be called into existence, the more can the mass of slaves dependent upon capital be increased.

We have thus seen that even the most favorable situation for the working class, namely, the most rapid growth of capital, however much it may improve the material life of the worker, does not abolish the antagonism between his interests and the interests of the capitalist. Profit and wages remain as before, in inverse proportion.

If capital grows rapidly, wages may rise, but the profit of capital rises disproportionately faster. The material position of the worker has improved, but at the cost of his social position. The social chasm that separates him from the capitalist has widened.

Finally, to say that “the most favorable condition for wage-labour is the fastest possible growth of productive capital”, is the same as to say: the quicker the working class multiplies and augments the power inimical to it — the wealth of another which lords over that class — the more favorable will be the conditions under which it will be permitted to toil anew at the multiplication of bourgeois wealth, at the enlargement of the power of capital, content thus to forge for itself the golden chains by which the bourgeoisie drags it in its train.

I’m 16, you sick bastard

16 self proclaimed communist

Sounds about right

broooo gotteeem

Don’t get defensive just because a teenager can read better than you!

At what age are people allowed to start having political opinions? I would sooner people start their education earlier rather than later myself, especially since students in secondary education are literally studying these exact subjects.
Who of these is a communist?
Thank you for advertising us.
His voters know it and they are totally cool with his treasons as long as he hurts black and brown people
Fun fact: Biden hasn’t stopped detention centers from illegally holding migrants over 72 hours
“Biden is making things easy for China”, “Trump tried to weaken NATO”. They always find a way to divert the focus to Russia and China even in internal disagreements.

Except Trump publicly spoke both about leaving NATO and about not resounding to a NATO member under attack (the example he used was Montenegro).

Biden did neither of these things.

Trump moved Amerikan troops from Germany to Poland, that is: closer to the Russian border and deliberately broke nuclear disarmament treaties with Russia, but that’s easy to miss when you base political analysis on words instead of actions. It was entirely the point of the Trump administration to performatively signal support of Putin’s reactionary chauvinism to pander to the GOP base while pursuing the same aggressive expansionism you’d expect from any US government. When you view US politics through that movie-brained, main character focussed lens instead of looking at actual policy, the same ruse also works on Democrats, they’ll just walk away from it with a different moral judgement, which is the intended outcome. You can argue between parties over foreign policy without ever actually changing that murderous foreign policy.

Trump is doing what we have seen under Bush jr. already, only in a more aggressive tone: Jingoistically shitting on US allies to assert dominance, but leaving these alliances in place. Then after the next electoralist circus, there’s a Democrat in charge who tells the same allies that they are now valued again. European liberals can pretend that the good Amerika has won and the nightmarish clowns that have been in charge for the last 4 or 8 years are finally banished and everything’s right again and we can continue living under Amerikan hegemony without having to worry about our hegemon’s continued, steady descend into mask-off fascism.

great analysis :)

This is how conspiracy theory logic works though. You take something that is technically true in a vacuum and then use it to “prove” something completely unrelated.

Trump did publicly speak about those things. That’s all he did though. He didn’t begin the process of withdrawing from NATO, or actively refuse a call for aid from a NATO member. He just vomited words out of his mouth, because…that’s like 90% of what he does, he just spouts whatever is on his mind, then forgets all about it a week later.

Saying “Trump said a thing.” ≠ “Trump is therefore a Putin Puppet.”

There is nothing connecting these two things. There are plenty of reasons to hate Trump without resorting to conspiracies about him. Hate him for the things he actually does, not stuff that is made up about him.

So basically you’re saying that we should not believe Trump when he says he wants to do something? Until he actually does it? Otherwise it’s a conspiracy theory?

I guess this how politics works today. Quite sad really.

Yes. That’s exactly what I’m saying. Trump is an evil dictator who automatically can do anything if he gets the iron throne and the infinity stones. The only way we can stop him is if you believe every bad thing about him and wish really, really hard for his political defeat. A conspiracy theory is not a conspiracy theory if it is about a person you don’t like.

I know this is hard for you yanks to understand, but there is more to the world than your shithole country and its shithole politics.

“You will know them by their fruits” is the wisest thing said in certain famous book which west claims is the foundation of their culture. Could be so nice if they really internalised even just this one part.

These people are insane and prevalent. It’s what happens when you watch too much MSM.

I heard from someone recently that Q-anon was created by Russia. No need to think critically about your country’s failures when you can blame Putler.

I read the subreddit for people who have lost friends and family to Qanon, and probably every 6th or 7th post will end with an aside about Russia or China being behind it. Its crazy, I watch them correctly identify all the patterns of conspiratorial thinking the q people in their lives obsess over, but then they’ll turn around and repeat state department propaganda without a second thought. I’m pretty sure if I tried to bring this up, i know how it would go.
It’s no wonder Americans don’t want to believe there are no Nazis in Ukraine. They don’t even believe their own country is capable of being Nazis and doing Nazi shit without the help of a foreign agency lol
i seriously wish the letters were this incompetent.
Oh look, another thread in which supposed “leftists” from hexbear and lemmygrad do nothing but attack Biden and defend Trump and Putin. Such left, very socialist.
Is there anything wrong in mocking Biden?

Well, when your entire existence is focused on bringing down the big bad USA, of course you’d support Trump, Putin, and Ci. They’re just delusional thinking that the US would be better modeled after those two terrible countries.

Russia the failed state and China the most xenophobic “economic power” in the world.
