No wonder you guys are so ignorant. Anytime someone comes in talking sense, all you can see is mod removed X’s comment.
really telling on yourself there
I don’t mind telling on myself here. I had several comments deleted and was banned from one of your communities for arguing that it was ridiculous to wish death upon people for joining the Navy and to hate everyone else who doesn’t share that view. My ban labeled me as a “liberal Zionist.” Not once in the conversation was Israel, Gaza, Zionism or anything related to it mentioned.
So since everyone can apparently look at others’ mod logs, I now have a smear on my record because your mods don’t have any qualms about lying about people they disagree with.
You really are the worst possible ambassadors for your own ideology.
The mod log mostly tells us exactly what you said in your own words, the mods cannot modify what you said, only remove it - which is generally not done on hexbear for transparency’s sake. The only “smear” is the shit you willingly wiped all over yourself. People are reading the comments you had deleted, not just what the mods have to say about it.
I was referring to what the mods wrote. I stand by what I wrote and do not consider it a smear. Dumbass.
Unfortunately for you, your moderation history is public
Yes, unfortunately I have mud on me because I was foolish enough to engage with pigs.
only capitalist pig here is you
Rule 2
damn you’re posting this all over the thread, why not use the report function? Or are you trying to get your parent’s attention?
I’ll get you one better
Kkkrakkkers to nutcracker
Now cry me a river kkkrakkker

LMAO I remember that one. It was c/slop in Hexbear where you were justifying soldiers killing innocent people because they were “escaping poverty”. You literally don’t consider people outside your country as humans and you were acting like a sobbing victim the entire time.
I literally said none of that. I invite any sane person who accidentally stumbles into this thread to go read my mod log and see my comments that are being characterized as above.
Don’t be a fucking idiot, I was arguing with you in that thread. Soldiers have a choice, and they chose death for the innocent people outside Amerika, and you kept defending them as if they were just poor innocent little babies.
maybe you should reflect on why you’re a genocide supporting piece of human garbage
Maybe you should reflect on why you accuse people who don’t support genocide of supporting genocide.
yeah I’ll reflect on that if I actually do that.
I won’t hold my breath. I suspect your definition of people who support genocide is “people I accuse of supporting genocide.”
Please do hold your breath.
Correct - both are authoritarian regimes
Can you name a non-authoritarian government?
Welcome to anarchism.
Which anarchist society wasn’t authoritarian? Name specific examples.
Authoritarianism is a meaningless term used by edgy children whose brains haven’t fully developed yet. The reality is that all governments rely on coercion to maintain their authority. The state is fundamentally an instrument that’s used by the ruling class to maintain its dominance. The whole notion that political systems can be neatly categorized into authoritarian or democratic binaries is deeply infantile.
Every government derives its authority from its monopoly on legal violence. The ability to enforce laws, suppress dissent, and maintain order is derived from control over police, military, and judicial systems. Whether a government is labelled authoritarian or democratic, the fundamental basis of its power lies here. Therefore, the only meaningful questions to ask are which class interests it represents, and to what extent can it be held accountable to them.
What ultimately matters is which class controls the institutions of state violence. In capitalist democracies, the government represent the interests of the economic elites who fund political campaigns, own media outlets, and control key industries. Western public lacks the mechanisms necessary to hold the government to account, and the ruling class is disconnected from the broader population. That’s precisely what’s driving political discontent all across western sphere today. Meanwhile, in so-called authoritarian regimes, the ruling party serves the working class as seen in countries like China, Cuba, or Vietnam. Hence why there is widespread public trust in these government and they enjoy broad support from the masses.
Cuba or China serving the working class?
I want a little bit of what you smoke, it’s strong.
They’re just color-changed-US. Nothing different at all.
Cuba == usa???
Zombies would starve from just being near you.

Authoritarian AF. lmao

This is called authoritarianism, silly.

Nobody is saying this except you. Infantile strawman.
Wow that’s such an amazing rebuttal you’ve mustered there. It’s a real testament to your intellect.
Yep that’s what I would expect. Infantile.
Infantile
Very obvious what word you just learnt
As are all states. The important distinction between them isn’t the degree by which authority is used, which is largely decided by the conditions a state is in rather than the form of the state itself, but instead is which class controls the state. The USSR was run by the working classes, the US by capitalists.
The USSR was run by politicians. They concentrated wealth and privilege into their hands and those of their supporters in the police and military.
Capitalists, party elites, or hereditary nobility; it makes little difference to the starving.
Putting the words in your country name and paying lip service is not enough.
Comments like this make it painfully obvious that someone has not engaged with the actual history, because guess who agreed with you that lip service is not enough? The communists. Life expectancy, infant mortality, nutrition, medical outcomes, literacy, addiction rates, poverty, all of this shit immediately improves drastically in every time and place communists have ever seized power. Often these improvements have come despite nightmarish wartime conditions, such as during the Chinese Revolution when life expectancy shot up despite being in active combat with Imperial Japan after 20 years of civil war. The people of Cuba have created one of the most advanced medical systems on earth despite sixty years of strangulation. The people of the USSR risked their safety to send weapons to uprisings across the world despite needing every bullet themselves for the near century of fascist invasion and expansion that ultimately took thirty million of their lives.
The idea that communists are secretly only pretending to care about other people is the single biggest piece of capitalist projection, and the one most foundational to holding up other myths about communists. Every abuser in history has said all the same things the white empire drills into our heads: this is just how the world is, everyone else is just like me or worse, so there’s no point in looking for better. But in reality, Cuba has no Gates Foundation. Laos has no Mr Beast. Our economic system is the one set up to reward and incentivize exploiting people you pretend to care about, not theirs. To look around at the very specific, grotesque circumstances created by capitalism and attribute it to some universal axiom of human society is what having an imagination trapped by capitalist “realism” looks like.
This attitude of “well everyone is shit” is one of the last layers of refuge before you get to the truth: that we, westerners raised in a culture of advanced imperialism, are specifically and deeply sick, that we have forcibly exported this sickness across our planet and we desperately need drastic mass change and healing before it kills us all.
Exploiting people is inherently rewarding. Blaming capitalism for that is baffling.
“Politician” is not a class. The state, in Marxist theory, is not outside of class struggle, but is within it. The CPSU did not concentrate wealth in their hands, in fact they were paid wages akin to highly skilled labor at the highest level. As such, wealth inequality went dramatically down:
This is why the Soviet administrators cared so much about the working claases, they were working class themselves. Starvation was eliminated in the Soviet Union, life expectancy doubled in the first few decades, literacy rates skyrocketed to 99.9%, unemployment and homelessness were both nearly eliminated.
Yes, it’s enormously easy to simply paint the USSR as an exact replica of capitalism and aristocracy in outcome, only different in form. It’s also enormously incorrect, and bears no resemblance to reality. As socialists, we need to actually seek truth from facts, and not coast by on vibes alone.
The state, in Marxist theory, is not outside of class struggle, but is within it.
I found an authoritarian.
I’m an “authoritarian” for affirming the Marxist theory of the state?
The Soviet Union indeed had a famine in the 1930s. Is your point that it was deliberate? That’s a popular theory among fascists and used to be popular among liberal historians, but opening the Soviet archives proved the socialists correct, that it was largely caused by weather disaster and some degree of mismanagement. It was also the last famine outside of World War II in the Soviet Union, because by the time of the famine’s end agriculture had been successfully collectivized.
For a year Soviet Union was executing ~1000 people per day, every day. But yeah sooooo good.
In a world that already grows enough food for 10 billion people, 10 million people starve to death every year, a situation that can only exist because the US Empire enforces that injustice with absolutely staggering violence. You literally cannot conceive of how much blood is spilled across every single day of ‘peace’. There has never been a more bloodsoaked entity than the United States.
for a year
1971-2021
Ah, yes. Either way, it doesn’t matter because both suck. One more than the other.
Well it doesn’t matter because one doesn’t exist anymore. We should focus on the one that still does bad stuff.
ok then tell your other .ml friends to shut the fuck up about the thing that doesn’t exist
Why would they? They need to LARP of how they’re just like revolutionaries.
