badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

No, it isnt. Its the question of whether a Socialist country can and should try to survive as a singular expression of socialism, and trade and engage in diplomacy with capitalists powers and let them do their capitalism while you do socialism.
Neither side of the question advocated for war with the west.
Trotsky was willing to throw away half the union to avoid war, stalin engaged honestly with every treacherous liar in the west.
That socialism in one country still necessitated preparing to fight the entire world with all its advantages.
But "trading, engaging in diplomacy and letting them do their capitalism" is explicitly a tool to prevent war and invasion coming from the west in the case of the USSR. If the early USSR (when the permanent revolution debate took place after Lenin's death and the practical end of the New Economic Policy) had actually engaged in antagonizing the capitalists in the west, it would simply have been crushed before it had time to industrialize.
