This person would say that the Soviet Union and China didn’t abolish commodity production in favor of production regulated by the criterion of use-value, which according to Marx is what characterizes the transition from capitalism to socialism.

So leftcoms think France is socialist? I thought the problem people had with leftcoms was that they didn’t think enough countries were socialist.

It’s annoying if you get drunk and start trying to get me to kiss you and being very persistent on that or maybe if you’re not drunk but you keep finding reasons to give me long drawn out hugs in the pretense of friendliness. Or alternatively if you don’t know me and just see me somewhere like the bus and keep trying to get my number. Creepy to me is intimidating, like if I reject you and you find out where I work and you keep showing up to my workplace by the time I leave trying to “hang out” and I need to find some people to leave with me so I’m not alone with you. If you know me and you want to demonstrate interest it’s fine.

I will say something a little controversial here and suggest for your own sake that you don’t look for relationship advice on this site.

100%. First it was communism, then it was radical Islam.

Consider the following: both of your examples originate in the context of internal affairs, if it weren’t so there wouldn’t be a reason for McCarthyism and anti-terrorism activity. China keeps to itself and doesn’t have any relevant ties to domestic actors that could be persecuted, so you can’t make the jump from internal problem to external problem and the comparison doesn’t make sense. On Greenwald’s point, people don’t seem to want to admit this because of their attachment to the cultural norms of the Democratic-voting contingent of American society, but there is no contradiction between condemnation of China in the context of external affairs and white supremacy or whatever else in the domestic context. They could even tie it all together and say that the Chinese are doing white supremacy on the Uighurs and it’s racist to say they don’t need to invade China to free the Uighurs, I bet many people would eat that up too.

Consider the following: as of January 2021, a CBS News poll shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans think the biggest threat to their way of life are other Americans, with only 8% thinking it’s foreign countries. Source

Excuse me for having more than one neuron and knowing what leftcoms think.

I’m going to be the negative one here and say that the amount of it I’ve watched is hagiographical to the point of being ridiculous and attributes to Marx a very silly cookie cutter anime boy personality. Also, it seems like they’ve used almost all the scenes they animated on this trailer and the rest is clunky-looking CGI.

Golden Rule: don’t do unto others what you don’t want them to do unto you.

American “socialists” deal with socialist criticism of one of their social justice pet projects maturely challenge (impossible).

Hey, did EmRata do something in particular to piss this website off or is it just that thing I’ve noticed where people reflexively try to find reasons to make fun of pictures of random people that get posted here? No offense intended, I just really can’t tell.
