You see, under certain circumstances and hyper-specific issues. The blue Fascist is slightly less worse.

Therefore, we should throw all our support behind the blue! Don’t criticize the blue guy because that gives more of a chance for the red guy to win!

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)

Incredibly out of reality. They are essentially implying that only the west is accountable to their constituents while the East can do whatever they want because the population is “brainwashed”.

Meanwhile the US state is in a constant state of governing against the interests of their own people.

Keep up the tough work comrade. I mainly lurk around but I do notice the reactionaries especially in the comments.

This is clearly a pro-marxist and anti-imperialist forums so the people who are posting reactionary comments are obviously doing so to disrupt the website.

The enemy is both strong and weak. I wonder where I’ve heard that before…

It’s not anything new. When the Mai Lai massacre was exposed. There was a poll and most Americans said that the massacre did not disturb them or change their support for the war.

Americans don’t care unless it directly affects them. They’ve been trained to see war as something far away that will never reach them.

You know the 1932 famine ended right? It didn’t go on forever. How do you think they stopped the famine and resupplied the grain shortage?

“All the people’s money is stolen to fund their endless wars! They are stolen so much that 18% of their populations remains houseless! The rest are price gouged most of their income! They’re dictators also price gouge healthcare! 45,000 are killed every year because they have nothing else to life gouge so lose their lives! They also have forced slave labor in their prisons! They overcharge people suspected of committing a crime so they scare them into plea bargaining and expand their amount of slaves! 1.2 million slaves!

Serious question.

Can the imperialists bankrupt themselves if this keeps up? They will never be able to supply enough to Ukraine to win the war but I’m sure there are plenty in the government who are willing to this for decades.

Such a desperate attempt to keep Russia out of Europe. When the west loses this Cold War, there is a very real danger they escalate to nuclear war. Either that or they turn inwards and become a complete fascist block of the globe. They’re already a good way there.

I too think that was their plan. To big them down in a forever unwinnable war, cripple their economy with heavy sanctions and de-couple Russia form the rest of Europe.

However I don’t think they expected most of the world to not go along with it and their economy to cushion the blow.

Their military industrial complex still made a giant amount of profit though. I also think they now know that the NATO countries will just about go along with anything the US wants even if it hurts their own economy.

Ah yes. The defensive alliance that’s never been in a defensive war but several offensive ones.

Exactly. Money from train ticket sales is not the point of the public transport. The payoff lies in the population being able to travel the country cheaply. Yes the train will run a loss but the country as a whole will greatly benefit with the ease of transportation.

Capitalists only care about the sale. It is very short sided when trying to improve a nation as a whole. A private industry must constantly grow more and more to stay in business. This is detrimental in the long run as it will constantly require more and more degradation of the service and collusion with the state to maintain this profit growth. Overall, it will cost the population much more than the “losses” a public industry would.
