Let the workers take over the means of production and demolish the capitalist state and let's see then what the achievements will be instead of expecting some average Joe in a protest to have the same world affecting power as the not so average Joe biden-troll

Pilot speaking, we are having an, um, special emergency, please keep your seat belts tightened and be alert for future instructions while the situation is being dealt with by our crew.

I don't like the turn to neoliberalism of China one bit either but it seems to be working out now that the imperialists have fallen for it and lost all their means of production through capitalist means to China. If it weren't for Dengism maybe China today would be just like Russia, a sad ruin of something that used to be great, but it's not. It seems to be reaching a turning point and slowly giving capitalists the boot.

I guess something similar would be the bourgeois revolutions that ended feudalism and the French Commune which got crushed because material conditions for socialism were far from ready. Capitalism is shit but it was necessary to get us to the point that proletarian revolutions were possible and led to the not so short lived success of the USSR.

We can't ignore the reasons that USSR was defeated though, it was because of strategic failures and the backtrack by giving in to capitalist measures but also because of being surrounded by hungry wolves in the West.

Dengism seems to postpone the revolution until imperialist's capital is stolen to the point that they are much less of a power to be reckoned with when revolution happens. If strict ML socialism is implemented at a point like this, it will probably be extremely more likely to defend itself and support global socialism until the US itself is also socialist.

This is still progressing and only time will really tell if Deng was a genius revolutionary or a traitor. I'm really hoping it's the first, it would mean that wherever you are, socialism might be coming soon enough to see it in our lifetimes.

Morally it sucks but this is what material dialectisism teaches in part, morals aren't the driving factor of history, only material conditions and relations of production are.

xigma-male is really making Dengism look like the next step of Marxist theory

No lol I was just overexaggerating, though it wouldn't surprise me that much at this point

Mycology is socialist propaganda, why would they share resources without maximizing profits?

How dare North Korea produce things albeit with less quality instead of importing everything and being economically enslaved?

While Second World communism was suffering from fissures, the Third World was further united by a bit of First World bumbling. After Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, France and Britain invaded—against Washington’s wishes—to reassert control of the waterway and oust the Egyptian leader. They were joined by the young state of Israel, whose creation had been supported by both Washington and Moscow, but eventually had to back down because of US pressure. Despite Eisenhower’s anger with the new Jewish state, Washington steadily increased support for Israel from the middle of the 1950s for Cold War reasons. It was the nascent alliances between the USSR and radical Arab nationalist regimes, we know now, that formed the basis for a growing US-Israel alliance.6

Is this true? It seems very detached from reality and no sources are given aside from a note that is kinda irrelevant to the question. Since when was the US "angry" about the foundation of Isntreal and since when was the USSR a supporter of it or even neutral to it at all? This feels like bullshit

Breaking news is either some useless nonsense like this, or that China is about to collapse, or that China is doing too good and must chill so that the Western economy survives

Is there any truth to the claim that Yugoslavia slaughtered people from Kosovo or is it just another Uyghur thing?

(Even if relatively true it still doesn't make the bombing of Yugoslavia justified)

I read the tiny Wikipedia article on it but I couldn't draw any conclusions from it and not sure how accurate it is

Shamelessly equating the two, judging from the video one might also say that they say fascism was a little better. It makes sense, fascism doesn't get in the way of what they really stand for which is absolutely not democracy.

Remember to vote kids, that will keep the Nazis away even if they're already running the European Union.

I'm supposing it was in an effort to challenge the USA and keep them from getting a huge strategic advantage, but I don't know for sure

Communism is when the "free thinking individual" that thinks he lives in a separate universe to the rest gets rewarded immensely while the people who work together get to share the crumbs of mr. Individual between them. ~Wait...~

He is a right leaning lib and heavily anticommunist. Every damn thing capitalists say about communism ends up being a confession, in this case living with many unknown people in an apartment.

The representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, responded to the statements of the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, regarding the Russian attack on Odessa. "He called Russia an enemy of Europe," notes Zakharova in her post on Telegram. "First, we did not terrorize and do not terrorize Greece or anyone else. You won't find a single example. Second, Europe was different. The Third Reich was also Europe. For such a Nazi Europe we will always be an enemy", adds the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry. And he continues: "Thirdly, in my Soviet/Russian school, in the usual music lesson for each of our students, I went through the works of Mikis Theodorakis. I knew both his music and his fate. He was also an enemy of Europe, of Nazi Europe." M. Zakharova concludes: "Don't betray, Kyriakos, the memory of the Greek Resistance!".

Russia may not be what the USSR ever was and doesn't deserve the credit for it, but this response is probably the best she could have given and shows how the Soviets respected Greek culture more than the Greek government ever will.
