China wants to keep Western propaganda away from their people because it’s capitalist swill. It’s within their best interest to open up Chinese propaganda to Western audiences though. It’s all about home field advantage.

When Khrushchev took power he had many of the documents from the Stalin and Lenin eras burned. Early Soviet history is essentially non existent and impossible to prove with what little is left. Most official documentation is destroyed. Lenin may have just liked using that quote when he read it elsewhere. We can have truly know.

Oh yeah, I forgot the other social media apps don’t collect data and spew propaganda. Oh wait… They do.

Vanya did transition to Victor in the show.

This made me realize two things about Harry Potter. 1: why do the wizards not simply use magic AND guns? 2: oculus repairo is a stupid fucking spell. You’re telling me there’s a specific spell just for repairing glasses? That’s just bad writing.

It was many factions. I’m just saying all of them were trying to have third revolutions while the people starved to death. At some point, revolutions end with a unifying government that isn’t trying to murder each other. Lenin was not the villain you’re painting him to be.

That’s not true at all. The Mensheviks wanted to cooperate with the bourgeoisie and were therefore a bad representation of socialism. Lenin formed the Bolsheviks because the Mensheviks were being stupid. The country was also fractured after the revolution and many groups of counter-revolutionary groups were trying to overthrow the barely formed government. Meanwhile famines were ravaging the country. Understanding the historical context of Russia in 1917 and the economic struggles the people were dealing with is very important to understanding why things happened the way they did. Looking at the aftermath of a revolution where everyone is vying for power and killing each other doesn’t automatically make the winner of that power grab the bad guys.

Weird, I was under the impression that the purges happened after Lenin died. Can ghosts lead a purge?

Profit sharing fixes all of this because it provides incentives for everyone to go the extra mile so they can make more money.

Crazy, because all of those countries have an awful history of human rights violations that was only stopped when they were forced to at gun point. Many of those countries have had recent human rights violations too. You’ve picked countries that’re currently struggling with racist and sexist tendencies actually. You should read some UN human rights violation reports before you make stupid claims.

The bar in the picture says it’s a kilo which is $65, 344. While I could agree with OP that 10 kilos would give you an average house in higher priced areas like new York or LA, it would definitely buy you several nice houses in 1920.

That’s solidarity right there

I’ll be far too full after eating the rich to also eat the janitor.

A reminder that the Nordic model of social democracy is still a capitalist society that puts profits ahead of people.

Been using Guilded, still needs a little work for the mobile app, but overall pretty good.

It’s Dale you damn animals

Well that’s not suspicious at all.

I’m a real debate lord and it really annoys me when the person I’m being bickering with gets banned. Ruins all the fun.

Now that I’m back I really don’t know why I left.

I just deleted Chrome and switched back to Firefox
