If Trotsky was the leader of the Soviet project they would have likely collapsed in a war against the west in the 1930s. The Trotskyist wing could not accept the loss of Western Europe to capitalisms, and seemed determined to wage on offensive war.
His response of how to give the workers power seems like a material idea of him losing power to Stalin’s CPSU and making up a “correct” path of communist revolution to make the “true” communists himself and his followers.
Remember when everyone was so scared of polio and then all of the sudden we stopped talking about it?🤔
It really never ends.
Providing all homes with a universal refrigerator and interchangeable parts, that a neighborhood mechanic could fix. That would destroy the entire industry of smart refrigerators. That’s degrowth
Now this is communism!
Not even gonna read, just gonna make an argument he might’ve made a point on.
If we stop the production of Funko, that’s degrowth.
If we stop the production of H&M and fast fashion, that’s degrowth.
If we stop the production Mountain Dew Baja blast 16oz bottles, that’s degrowth.
If we break up the military industrial complex, that’s degrowth.
If we do anything to slow down production of anything, it is degrowth and restructuring an economy.
Average Jacobin writer thinks we hit the communism and have space colonies and world peace overnight.
I think it’s so funny people are having long debates in this comment section and it’s essentially just saying a wealthy guy may or may not be able to fly to the EU because he did something.
Literally nothing has happened and I gotta read 87 paragraphs about whether I should be a free speech absolutist or not,
Russia blew up their own pipeline cause Putin is cray Zee! Also Joe Biden said so!
It actually makes me so angry that Israel gives religious exceptions, but you can’t have a moral one. What the fuck how does that contradiction not start a civil war
No it isn’t. Venezuela is one of the most sanctioned nations in the world.
Diapers are straight up more valuable and less dangerous than the phone you type on. Do you like Cholera outbreaks?
Why would you say that about Brett Stephen’s?
I will agree that raw red onion consumes all flavor in a dish, but a yellow onion diced and sautéed improved almost every savory dish it’s in.
Okay that makes more sense. And I like the link you added, and just finished reading it over! I just used the word and thought I was on blast
I have no idea what you are telling me, but the guy clicked on an article about Cuba, clearly didn’t read the article, and tried to make Cuba sound as bad as empire states in his comment. I feel like that’s a whataboutism and I’m not a pervert. 🙏
Unless you are trying to count every single soldier in history as a mercenary, then you are wrong.
He was working for the Cuban government, on sanctioned actions to advise guerrilla groups in some of the poorest nations on earth. That’s very much not what a mercenary does. He fought against mercenaries in the Congo.
It’s also funny you need to bring up a person from 50 years ago to do your “whataboutism” on Cuba.
Yea that’s well said, also American fascists luckily have no history to look back to that’s before the US state formation. So instead of wanting a new system, they just want their guy to play President as they sit on the couch.
I do think it was an attempt. They just didn’t even know that a coup attempt involved more than walking in the door and demanding Trump be president. The next one in America will involve mass killing, and it will be from a similar demographic.
I think they already had been, Uigyurs were fighting in the Soviet-Afghan war on the side of the muhajadeen and then brought that violence home in the 90s
Do you enjoy being wrong constantly?
Also I bet you can’t wait to be supplied solely by US energy companies the next century. You will really see just how wonderful of a place we are.
Not even systemic failures. Any complaint a chud has is because communism. Literally like doing dishes instead of their wife doing it is a communist plot
