Is Brazil imperialist? Is India imperialist? They are “that big”, no?

I thought the bourgeoisie state created the tools of its own demise!

The bourgeoise will indeed make their own downfall. They will gladly sell us the rope used to hang them with. The laws, the working of capitalism will deteriorate conditions for the proletariat readying them to do that hanging.

But the bourgeois will not hang themselves. And without work, the downfall will not happen.
A fallow field will not make food, it will create dirt more ripe for it, through the laws, the working of nature. But we must sow the seeds, and watch them, potentially spray them with pesticide, and finally harvest them.

If you agree with either premise, then other conclusions necessarily follow

Nah, I’m in the middle, I’m not one of those, I agree with Dialectical and Historical Idealism. (/j)

Ok, the historical part is just basic liberalism, but I’m not sure about Dialectical Idealism.

The ruling class is not my enemy. The bourgeoisie is. Under socialism, the proletariat would be the ruling class, and they are not my enemy.

I believe it is sarcasm.

The first instance of this resolution is A/C.3/68/L.65 from November 2013.

No. Don’t.

It’s been said before, but you can be “authoritarian” like the Soviets and give people healthcare, housing, food, etc. or you can be a good christian against “authoritarianism” and give people a military dictatorship.

I support the proletariat using authoritarian measures, for any time we don’t our enemies laugh at us.

When General Krasnov organized his counter-revolutionary campaign against Leningrad and fell into our hands, we could at least have kept him prisoner, according to the rules of war. Indeed, we ought to have shot him. But we released him on his “word of honor.” And what happened? It soon became clear that such mildness only helped to undermine the strength of the Soviet Government. We made a mistake in displaying such mildness towards enemies of the working class. To have persisted in that mistake would have been a crime against the working class and a betrayal of its interests. That soon became guile apparent. Very soon it became evident that the milder our attitude towards our enemies, the greater their resistance

Tankie is a term reserved for very specifically people who defend the Soviet Union in the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia

Why Czechoslovakia? The term originally came from Hungary

It does, the preview just doesn’t.

It is the overthrowing of the current system, and replacing of it with a different one. Not a bunch of small reforms happening all at once.

Really good video.

PatSoc shite account (Hinkle).

Yea… I keep seeing lemmygrads replying to people who can’t see them because of defederation. Just because you can see someone, doesn’t mean they can see you/your reply, just keep that in mind.

Hey OP, there is a reply from a user from lemmygrad.ml which you cannot see as sh.itjust.works has defederated from 'grad. Check out the post on lemmy.ml to see it.

Fascism is the bus the reform guys go on to take them to the next Spinny ride when the current one breaks down.

You have to enter U+200E the character, not U+200E. In firefox (on linux at least), hold ctrl+shift and click u then (let go of ctrl and shift) type 200e and click enter or space and it will input U+200E as a char.

Nope. I just opened lemmy.ml in Firefox
