@@zenogstwitch8296 That's capitalism, you're still selling yourself on Patreon. Capitalism doesn't just mean "corporations," capitalism is about the ability to choose your work and sell your skills and interests on your means in order to get by. Capitalism isn't the problem, elected politicians with corporate interests who refuse to enforce our consumer protections and give handouts to billion dollar corporations saying "if they fail people will lose jobs" when, no, if they fail another company can have the equal opportunity to rise up and fill those jobs. Ending capitalism won't stop the issue of politicians with corporate interests. It will just make it so we have no chance of doing something about it. To me, I don't trust the government any more than corporations. They're all groups of powerful people trying to stay that way. And I feel far less safe having the government have end to end control on our economy and production. If you think capitalism is bad because a handful of people control the world I don't see how it's better to have one organization control the world instead of just a handful at least with the handful they have to sort of compete. People have the ability to make things to better our world even though there are companies who do things to worsen our world. I've seen some arguments that some people are willing to just make things for the greater good and don't need to get paid for it so we'll still improve if we got rid of capitalism. However I don't see the logic behind that point because you need funding to be able to build these projects in the beginning we're not all rich yeah corporations have too much money now and they have more money than they need to continue operations by a lot but when you're first starting out you don't have that and what the government is supposed to give you a grant for that how do you qualify for that Grant how do you prove that you can do that. With capitalism you can make a smaller idea to fund your bigger idea. Sorry it's a mess I use voice to text for the second half and I keep trying to correct the grammatical issues.

[@aerfwefd7334]

@@sandrapark8705 China helping themselves. That's a rich one. Thanks for the laugh. Late 19th- and early 20th century China had essentially the same disjointed relationship with the western powers as Japan did with the US, albeit with more opium. China had very little success in modernizing in any way until the 1970's when the US suddenly became very interested in bringing China into the "global order" under Nixon. China's "remarkable progress" of the past half century is a direct result of the US government and industry leaders actively feeding China technology, administrative methods, and economic power for nigh on the entire time. China would be no more modern now than then were it not for US intervention. You need to ignore ideology and face the fact that while the European intervention in China resulted in great tragedy for the locals - as imperial ventures often do - China would not be where it is today without US intervention. Carter legitimized the CCP internationally. Nixon started the process by which China industrialized. Nearly every administration and congress since has facilitated the strengthening of China. Without that interference, I'd wager we'd be lamenting that the CCP had starved an even quarter of a billion people, rather than "just" 80-100 million. I'd further wager that China would be derisively called "Greater North Korea" for a wide variety of reasons. None of this excuses the US interventions in its inner sphere of influence or consistently lying about the causes of conflicts it starts. However, that sort of behavior is as old as civilization, so I doubt it will ever change, regardless of how offensive it is to the sensibilities of those of us who realize it. Power, after all, is self-serving and it matters little what the source of the power is or the ideology behind it.

@@altrag That's socialism XD Capitalism is when elites buy up others work so their could make profit. You mixed up the definitions.

[@guy-sl3kr]

@@altrag Yeah that's not what capitalism is, at least not when anyone nowadays uses the word. Capitalism is the exploitation of hired labor through private ownership of the means of production. AKA businesses belong solely to the bosses, who then hire workers, pay them less than what they're worth, and pocket the difference. Capitalism inevitably creates all-powerful corporations because of how it structurally consolidates power. And while we're defining things, socialism is when the means of production are owned socially (either by the workers, their community, their country as a whole, etc). And communism is a stateless, classless, moneyless society with common ownership of the means of production + the movement to create such a society.

[@guy-sl3kr]

@@altrag Not to be pedantic but a state isn't the same thing as a government. A state is the mechanism for class rule, the way that a subset of people control an entire population through administration and force. The US government is currently a bourgeois state, as in, it primarily exists to serve the interests of the capitalist class instead of americans as a whole. Communists aren't trying to abolish governance, they're trying to create an equitable society where class differences don't exist (and therefore state rule doesn't exist either). Also, neither Bernie nor AOC are very left at all. Their policy proposals would, at best, remedy some problems that capitalism causes without addressing the root cause - capitalism itself. I totally agree with you about their ineffectiveness and that right wing rule causes disasters.

US imperialism, what a surprise, glad you're debunking US propaganda, keep it this way, comrade.

[@lucaalbano1125]

@Scott Covert the Soviet Union didn't have imperialist tendencies, it actively opposed western imperialism and supported socialist revolutions in many countries, a good chunk of them was under a decades long US-backed dictatorship, like Cuba with Fulgencio Batista, or victims of US imperialism, like in central America with the banana republics, like Nicaragua, for example, where the United States actively supported far-right movements like the contras, planted mines in the territory of a sovereign nation (an action which is unanimously considered an act of state terrorism) and undermined the very foundations of democracy and the principle of self-determination. So, even in the case where the Soviets had imperialistic tendencies, like you suggest, the imperialistic tendencies of the United States in foreign sovereign countries outmatches by far the ones that the Soviets ever had and is based not on "spreading democracy", but in spite of and against democracy, except if you consider democracy the overthrown of democratically elected socialist governments and the imposition of puppet governments under the iron fist of the United States.

@Roshaun Roache Lets look at facts.

US on other hand cares for nothing else, but power it has no goals no ideals other then protecting their power.

Thank you for posting this. These foreign interventions never received much press coverage at the time, and certainly were barely mentioned in history classes below the college level.

I used to think the same way, and it wasn't until Reagan started laying mines in the waters of Nicaragua that I realized something wasn't adding up, and I started doing some research and learned the actual truth. It's unreal how much damage the US has done. And for what? In once case we interfered in elections, displaced people, and looked the other way while people were murdered so that we could have cheap bananas! And yet we still claim to be the champion of democracy.

The biggest reason why most Indians are very sympathetic towards Russia is actually due to US interference..... In 1971, when India and Pakistan were on the verge of a war, US all out supported Pakistan. Pakistan, under Operation Searchlight, has literally killed millions of East Pakistanis, resulting in a staggering rise in the no. of Indian refugees. India hugely helped Bangladesh liberate, and gain independence, leading to the conflict with Pakistan. US knew very well about all the human rights violations and all the genocides committed by Pakistan, but they turned a blind eye, and sent Battleships, alongside China and UK against India. USSR was the sole ally of India who stood up and helped India maintain its sovereignty.
