When Lenin says capitalism, he doesn't necessarily mean dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. That's what people get hung up about because nowadays the word is inseparable from liberalism. But when he says state capitalism, he's just talking about using the state to direct a capitalist economy. You can do that communistly like how China directs its economy towards renewables, research, infrastructure, poverty alleviation, etc. Or you can do that liberally like how the US gears its economy towards war, racketeering, and debt.

Did you know the US never ended the Korean War? It's still officially ongoing. Everything you've ever heard from Americans and their allies about North Korea is quite literally war propaganda. And it's not a cold war either since the US annually partners with South Korea to practice invading them.

I sure do love how this douchebag is revered across the entirety of Latin America. It's so awesome that a decrepit white man from halfway across the globe still governs the politics of his colonies centuries later. Dime que mas te dijo Dios, papa! Somos muy tontos nosotros para entender.

If westerners didn't have the arrogance to speak on topics they know nothing about, then they would never speak at all.

No free market? No competition? No capitalist innovation?? It's time for westerners to activate their racism in order to make sense of this.

Manufactured scarcity has never been as blatant as NFTs imo. So many companies openly bragging about how they've finally figured out how to restrict digital products, as if that's a good thing. If Marx weren't already dead, reading tweets from cryptobros surely would've killed him.

Racial categories have always been jank in the US for Latin people. Forms have a separate question on whether or not you're Hispanic. But because of that, "Latin" is never included as an option for race so we have to fill in something stupid.

Look at questions 8 and 9 here. I'm the tan kind of Mexican American, so I have to answer question 8 with Yes, Chicano and question 9 with...??? Other? I'm a Hispanic Other. Makes sense.

Yeah people here take things very personally even though no one supports the government much? I don't get it

They do a lot to support global south countries like Nicaragua and Venezuela. Without Russia, these countries would be struggling even more than they already are. Might've even been couped by the US again.

They're not communist by any means, but these days countries are united by their shared grievances against the West rather than ideological agreement. And really, that's the biggest hurdle preventing the development of socialism (western meddling I mean)

The word "could" is doing massive work in that headline

Abortion rights were repealed under Democrats, trans rights are being repealed under Democrats, police budgets have increased in response to BLM, and non-stop war is completely bipartisan.

Both sides ARE bad, just because one of them sometimes offers tepid opposition doesn't make them good. Democrats are not on your side either.

The author thought the message sounded too ghoulish so they added the word "democratic" to soothe the brains of libs.
