I am too old for this kind of Gate keeping and to let some Internet rando dictate what is communist or not

Especially when we saw within our Life Time the assassination of a billionaire and experienced for ourselves that the “Power of Friendship” i mean ‘collective power’ did not, surprisingly, magically appear.

I am a realist, materialist and communist.

Not some fanatic that chases fairy tales.

If you think gunning down solo a billionaire would magically incite a Revolution Go for it.

Everyone of these things less is a net benefit for humanity, but i have too much to lose to be the Assassin in an empiracilly proven almost fruitless endevour.

That is maybe something Luigi thought about as well, but that is not how the world works

The world works for the rich and we are the world. Not the rich.

If i “deflect” (or as i call it critique the ‘democracy’ you defend) than you build strawman after strawman

Because of you we’re honest in this discussion you would nötige that i explicitly oppose this:

But if you think that people must not have a say and must not be allowed to criticize their government and it’s better to live under a dictatorship, then just take your family and relocate to China or Russia. They are looking for new citizens, especially the latter.

In fact i stress that what you describe at its core is also applicable to the Western Block.

The point is that criticism of our government is pointless, fundamental Change Impossible, this we do not really have a say, and of course that’s why i dont want to live in a dictatorship. In another comment i also already that i dont like China or Russia. But i am measuring western democracies in the same Standards as them and for my democracy Ideals they are all essentially equally far away for the stated reasons.

How Else?

Like Luigi?

You see what they do to him?

They dont even pay taxes. IP is FOR THEM and is used against US.

They can only be forced to adhere to laws by constant fear of execution otherwise they “invent” a legal loophole.

Of course they can be brought to heel. But not really with laws of the bourgeois state.

Yea because the tribalism is real. And progressives need to Account for that i’m affraid.

If you are too progressive the Propaganda that hast been taught their Life Long will kick in.

This is apparently wrong. The media and web in the U.S. is full of news critical of Trump

Yeah but it dies not really Matter of there is an orange man or a blue man in the White House, the differences between actual policies are marginal.

The biggest differences between Obama and Trump we’re the isolationist attitudes of Trump.

But wars were fought, drone strikes we’re ordered, wars were started. The only differences is skin color.

With this said, what use is criticism If it amounts to nothing. Isnt criticism the vehicle for Change, so what of change never comes (at least when you look at the policies)?

Is it really enough for you that wars are started by black man and not an orange man? I mean Obama Care was at least something but that did not really hold. Although even health Care for all is not really a record Breaking Policy but just what defines a not-shithole country.

Edit:

We do not all know about Pimmelgate where a random German Senator was insulted and the perpetrator got swatted on his behalf.

Or the illegal Border controls of the German democracy. Although that does not seem to be a democratic Problem, since this is government overreach against foreigners. And overreaches of this kind are the Modus Operandi of “Western democracies” Fuck you I got mine.

Yes!

I dont even like China or Russia, but the US is just as bad effectively and this Propaganda article is so amateurish that it alone should make the Double Standards obvious.

The US billionaires did quite the Job when they convinced their consumers that changing the color of the government is actual democracy…

However this is the fate many Western “democracies” seem to suffer, since there is no real political and economic change. Only how many groups of consumers there are and which are how important in Relation to each other, ranging from courting to Elimination of a consumer group.

How much control do WE really have in this “democracy”?

Policies that would benefit 99% of the population are just not getting done.

Especially in the US. Health Care ist basically non existent, people gatting shot all over the place because the government wont control guns, wars are just started, climate change is ignored etc.

The population is massively manipulated into thinking their will was free, when in fact they are puppeteered by a handfull of billionaires.

This “election” is just a Circus to decide which color the tent should be, but it will definetely and always be a Circus.

This system is just as inflexible as Chinas.

It is a problem that “democratc countries” have.

If you have some imaginary “democratic Utopia” in your Head that no actual democratic country can be meassured again at than you are no better than the tankies that Claim the Sockets or something we’re no true socialism.

The US is repeatedly cited as the beacpn of democracy but their massive Problem with racism cannot be quenched by it and the “democratic structures” that ought to hold the police accountable fail. Miserably. Since forever.

Or do you say that the accountability of the executive branch of the government is not a democratic thing??

If so than China and Russia are just the same! Their executive branch is also not beholden to any rules or laws. Just Like US Police officers or ICE officers when they murder black people or Andy Grothe (A State Minister in Germany at the time) when he was insulted as 1 Wiener online and fucking swatted the perpetrator and had also no repercussion.

If your democracy doesnt include that the executive branch of government has to play by the rules, but only include that we can choose the mascot of the government, then you are not a democrat.

The democrata have done nothing yet.

Wait! They fumbled Hegseths impeachment and stressed that they dont want to “get even”.

But just because Blue Maga was elected in and of itself is enough to rejoice?

This is shallow. Even for contemporary journalism.

Und was passiert wenn man in Demokratien wie den USA einfach so schwarz ist in der Nähe eines Polizisten?

Oder was passiert in Demokratien wie deutsche wenn man irgendwelche Politiker als 1 Pimmel bezeichnet?

China = Böse

Wir = Gut

😌

Of course this is always the practical go to example:

The artist that wants to sell their art. This however is necessarily a petty bourgeois artists.

This the “fuck ai socialist” standpoint is whole heartedly capitalist since they effectively protect the petty bourgeoisie in general.

As long as the corporate head honcho is forced to toil alongside their workers it is good capitalism. Only when the head honcho is not on the production site anymore because the corporation is profitable enough begins bad capitalism.

IP is a necessary evil under the current system to stop distributors like Instagram, tiktok, or AI companies from taking labor from workers (artists, writers, etc.) without compensation.

Seemingly this did not work.

Almost like rules dont apply for the ruling class and the whole IP spiel is just, as pointed out, completely and utterly capitalist.

And to think that IP laws would prevent the rich from thieving is hilariously naive.

Always has been.

You can replace it with any power.

Be it government or corporate.

However government is designed nowadays to be renewed every so often.

The Secret Services and other Shadow state institutions however are almost even more uncontrollable than monopolies.

Of course.

The fascist foot soldier is, at value Level, at odds with fascist leadership. That’s why it is not very productive to view this relationship as a political affiliation: IT IS A CULT.

The Leader can do whatever and his mouth pieces try to spin it for the masses.

The new priest class, influencers of the fascist cult, are the real threat, since their job is to sell the cult and somehow the people educated by Western Schools are en masse unprepared for this kind of Mass Manipulation, so the Leader can be above the values of the cultists.

For me it’s better If a foreign country knows my Habits since they are less likely to sell my Data to the domestic fascists.

If the Data is collected at Home the fascist only needs to be elected. And to do that they only needs the favor of the biggest national News outlet
