KizzieIs communist idea of base & superstructural bullshit?
The difference between Nazis and communists is that one of them lost a world war. You should not give them the time of day.
LainTrainYeah chief I don’t agree with your witticism here.
Call me crazy, but I think people who want to improve the world somewhat based on an economic and sociopolitical analysis of a pretty smart dude who’s work still shapes our economic understanding even in the most pro-capitalist reaganist fringes today do in fact have a few more differences with people who built an ideology based on using a merged government-corporate state apparatus to exterminate jews, queers, slavs etc. to create more living space for their specific ethnicity.
I also think you don’t actually have to pretend like Nazis and communists are equal or even close just to be able to criticize the imperialism and many mistakes and general dysfunction of the USSR, tankies and general bad faith argumentation like in OP probably done by a random putlerist fascist russian shill/bot or like a 14 year old who skimmed a wikipedia info box on dialectics once.
Communists are why we have unions, minimum wage, universal healthcare, welfare, safety nets, 5-day work week etc. Fascists are why we have the Holocaust, and I guess now also no jimmy Kimmel.
I don’t care so much what the underlying thought is. Millions died when either got into power. Learning from history neither should get another opportunity.
Millions are dying now due to the dudes in power now. Billions more are suffering. Once the palantir sell-offs are complete in the west and the democracies of Europe are left with no assets and not what few they have now after decades of trickle down, there will really be no turning back from the cyberpunk dystopia, and then many more will perish.
I think a better world is worth fighting for.
