@Thinkerbell One of the BLM founders made a comment once that she's a "trained Marxist." Marxism is a political philosophy, communism is a form of government. And it's cute that you think the Chinese are still communist.
Considering how conservatives are now screaming to "defund the FBI," they sound more like BLM than BLM does.
"Marxism is a political philosophy, communism is a form of government."
And who, pray tell, wrote the Communist Manifesto?
"And it's cute that you think the Chinese are still communist."
I know that the CCP's turning de facto fascist has been a big disappointment for you, Leo. 🙄 But they simply realized that Marx-Lenin-Mao's stupid ideas weren't ever going to work.
And don't overlook that both of these totalitarian systems of government use precisely the same methods of population control. The CCP of course kept those methods firmly in place, so that part I'm sure didn't bother you a bit, Leo. 😂 😂 😂
@Thinkerbell When have I ever said communism "worked?" And I've written a critique of the Communist Manifesto, which was pretty easy as Marx got almost everything wrong. I've always been upfront on here that I support a blended socialist/regulated capitalist economy, which happens to be what most countries in the world have.
Totalitarianism can exist under any type of economy. There have been plenty of capitalist dictatorships.
You're arguing with an imaginary "liberal" who doesn't exist anywhere except in your own mind. Should I hold you responsible for the atrocities carried out by capitalist regimes? Where should I start? We're literally living on land that the original inhabitants were genocided from in the name of the almighty dollar.
