Because even as the Earth burns and the Fascists march directly due to the capitalist's class conquest, domination, and occupation, even many Americans who believe themselves to be politically leftwing think they can dunk on socialists and communists for their "silly" ideologies based in social cooperation and mutual social benefit where... Gasp... You can't grind yourself to death under the toxic aspiration of attaining immoral levels of wealth to live larger than is reasonable within the finite shared habitat known as Earth.
They of course conveniently forget all the military actions the US has taken over the last century to destabilize nations that wanted to become such societies in order to keep their resource markets open to our capitalist's exploitation.
Oh, and get ready for the hottest summer of your life... So far! π₯ππ₯
Socialism works in theory, but in practice they have not solved the problem of CIA death squads murdering their leaders and fomenting a coup.
A few kinda solved it, namely Soviet Union and Cuba. And libs will never forgive them for it.
No, they eventually took down the Soviets.
Cuba is next. ππ»
LoL. Uh huh. Any day nowβ¦
this graphic is missing brazil in 1964 its missing literally every other country that isnt listed.
now that i think of it, it would probably be easier to list the countries the US didn't destroy in central and south america.
Anyone who praises Xi Jingping, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and
<insertAuthoritarianMurdererHere>as hard as I routinely see on lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad is an awful person and deserves derision, contempt, and distrust. They can call themselves a "leftist", "socialist", "communist", or a whatever-ist. Fundamentally, they're edgelord bootlickers and temporarily inconvenienced dictators-in-waiting."wHaTaBoUt USA, iSrAeL, nAtO, etc.?"
You can hate "The West", their people, their foreign policy, and their economics.
Doesn't mean you should suck dictators' dicks because they're "not The West".
Liberals keep telling me to support the lesser evil in elections, but when I apply that to geopolitics they get mad...
If you really want to get them mad, apply it to pizza toppings.
Cool beans. Go support the "lesser" of two evils.
Like Dessalines?
Why the homophobic comment though
How is that homophobic? There's no mention of the gender of the bootlicking edgelords.
You don't have to be a man to suck dick.
I'm pretty sure there's some homophobic roots in there. But that aside, why would anyone use cock sucking as an insult? Doing that would only discourage cock sucking, and who in their right mind would want less cock sucking in the world. Makes no sense.
Probably because of the perceived power dynamic between the cock sucker and cock suckee.
There shouldn't be a power dynamic under normal sucking conditions. Maybe if you have a power dynamic kink, then sure, do your thing, but regardless, people shouldn't turn consensual sex acts into insults, that only discourages fun.
How does that make sense?
I can bite their dick off whenever I want, surely I'm the one with all the power here.
What if the dictator busts all your teeth out for a better time?
So, rape?
Is that what this is? A rape joke?
I dunno, would you willingly suck a dictator's dick?
Whether I did or didn't, it wouldn't be some sign of subservience or weakness, which is what the comment was implying.
Youβre thinking too hard about this lol
I'm sorry, if you really WANT to suck a dictators dick go ahead I guess...
It's not about whether you're sucking dick or not. It's about whose dick you're sucking.
wtf is that wrong with xi jingping
Well, to start, he'll never relinquish power. According to him, he's in charge forever. That alone is all one needs to thoroughly distrust and oppose.
thats not how chinese democracy works, and i'm not sure where you got that from.
he will be replaced when their "parliament" of sorts decides hes not doing a good job anymore.
Some of these events were egregious and deserve condemnation but tbh 56 "events" in the span of 59 years doesn't seem all that bad. It's not like they've conquered any of them. Even the Panama Canal was treated as working relationship and eventually the US pulled out of operating it.
US Military Bases are all over the world because those actually do stabilize the regions against outside threats. Without them, some of these smaller nations would not exist today.
