Unrelated, but you know what?

If I will make a communist country, I’ll simply have a major Dengist and a major Maoist party rule instead of one, but more unified in the vein of Democrats and Republicans of the U.S.A on key issues,

Just to take the piss out of the 2 party system of U.S and the rest of the western world, because 1 party rule = dictatorship according to them…

Note: I do know such factionalism and division historically isn’t successful

(Eg. People’s Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, China from 1949-1978)

Idk, the closest quote is that of "“If we see that Germany is winning the war, we ought to help Russia; and if that Russia is winning, we ought to help Germany, and in that way let them kill as many as possible… . ”

What’s his name? Can you give a link?

This is the only good article of the diplomat…

The point about the cold is funny because the majority of gulags were located near (big) cities, so even if it was freezing you’d be in a city soon lol. Like, there’s 0 effort involved in debunking a point like that.

Wait, I never heard of that point… what’s the closest one to Moscow?

Not Today, CIA! 🤣 😅 🤣 😆 😄 😆

His ideology is anti-Marxist Leninist Philistinism with Black Hundredth and Zizek characteristics

Modern, in this context, refers to how companies still exist under the banner they have today like the past

(eg. little changes while merging, no dissolution of the company, and them currently existing, unlike the British East India Company)…

The reason I bring up the British East India Company is though it had a hand later on with regular famines in India, it’s surprising that it was nationalized and then dissolved, so I can only wonder which British companies had a hand in overexploiting and causing famines in India from 1880s-1920s, to cause over 100 million deaths…

Even today Pinkterton is involved in breaking the back of organized labour, infiltrating for example Amazon at the request of Bezos to keep an eye on fledgling unions.

Still? They haven’t changed their names…?

I mean, it’s a bit dubious here, since around 49.1% of the stake in Union Carbide was state-owned… could you explain that?

(I had the lovely experience of meeting a chud arguing that it was a socialist failure, not a corporate one (Self-note: if it was, why wasn’t the gov’t blamed much for it but rather the company…)

So what have they done? All I know from there is Nestle must’ve done something to do with the baby formula crisis thing in Pakistan…

Maldita… how the fuck did this happen…

liberal meant an advocate for liberal democracy such as Norway, France, USA, or Mexico.

Think about it, for a sec, that liberalism, more or less, generally describes the current ideology of capitalism, even while it changes and diverges between different groups…

For example, the same people, shown to be the forerunners of liberalism, the classical liberals, such as Thomas Jefferson and Edmund Burke, clearly only agreed on property relations, democracy and class interests, but on the latter half which they focused on, they diverge, due to differing local class interests…

Edmund Burke, though pro-liberal representative democracy and anti-slavery, condemned the French Revolution, despite its progressive liberal and bourgeois stance, due to its anti-aristocratic and anti-monarchial nature that might indirectly lead to the destruction of such propertied interests (the old riches, so to speak)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Burke#Representative_democracy

Whereas Thomas Jefferson condoned, if not supported the French Revolution, due to its same progressive liberal bourgeois stance and republicanism, and its opposition to British interests that threatened both U.S and Revolutionary France (though the former would later outshadow UK in its atrocities)

You can say similarly between Russia and U.S.A, though I presume Russia to be more influenced by its Soviet past to not easily let go of any essential publicly-owned oil and military assets…

However, the emphasis on property relations isn’t necessarily on land and industry anymore, as much as it is on industry-based Russia vs finance-based American and Europe… though the two things (industry and finance) aren’t mutually exclusive

He’s liberal in that he’s pro-capitalist and pro-oligarch (as long as they don’t joust with him directly)…

For context, Money and Macro was the guy who:

spread the hypothesis that China’s economy was 60% smaller, because of too little light bulbs, if not light pollution within the country

And

blames China debt trap for Pakistan’s economic woes…

He is a liberal, but a more right wing libertarian variant so to speak…

Well, then, tovarishch, how ye doin’?

Depends on what you mean?

Against cultural progressivism? Sure

Against U.S and its reactionary regimes (eg. Poland)? Not so much, but more as a balancing force against them

Does every newbie who gets posting happy gets into “possible fed”

Kinda, I think it’s gotta do with the zeal of the convert… anyways, don’t mind too much on what I said… you’re cool…
