Out of all the times communism has been attempted, please point me to an example of a stable communist nation which promotes freedom for the working class.

I've always used the definition of a vegetable being an integral part of a plant, like a root, rather than a fruiting seed pod evolved to be consumed by animals

Still vegetables! Everyone knows that a nice dinner at a Chinese buffet is healthy if you eat a few green beans lmao

Potatoes are amazing. They grow easily in a wide variety of soil and produce food which has every nutrient we need except for a complete protein. And, they're a vegetable, so you can tell someone you're eating your vegetables and then go to McDonald's for some frenchy fries

Really? I've had good luck with the network, and I live in a small city. Lost a set of keys at a truck stop in rural NM and they pinged correctly

Tiles are the same thing but like half the price. I use the hell out of them

No, no, you're totally right, I bet the guy who jointly invaded Poland with the Nazis as their military ally wanted to station Soviet imperial troops on the Western border of Poland out of charity and not his thirst for conquest

Yes. I am aware that Stalin tried to get Allied approval to invade and annex Poland or turn it into a puppet state and was rebuffed. That was his whole goal - conquering Poland.

Of course it is. That's why the role of governments in a capitalist society includes protecting workers rights, including union rights. That's best done via democratic representation in a liberal democracy. But the presence of workers rights or union rights doesn't end capitalism.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh, sure, they did.

Do you support unions or workers rights by chance?

Absolutely. Which is one big reason why I oppose communism. One of the first things the bolshevists did when they seized power is took the right to appoint officials to labor unions and worker's Soviets, and turned those representative organizations into agents of the Party rather than representatives of the workers.

It's.... historical truth, dude. The interim goal of the USSR was to overthrow capitalism in Germany, and then from there, enact world communist revolution under their aegis via COMECON
