  • What happens when the US and allies forments coups and starts bombing you?

    Obviously, peaceful means are preferred by most people.
    Like, why would they allow you to take power peacefully?

    Imagine you take power and want to redistribute land to the common people who were exploited and forced to be landless or without proper homes in the previous regime? Would not the ultrawealthy landowners try to coup you and get support of US and other countries?

    Then you’ll have to go there, right?
    Or you’ll have to stop or allow yourself to be couped.

    Like, in Russia, they took power away from a monarchy and came into power with the slogans of 'Land, peace and bread:. They faced an attack by the White army, which was supported by major foreign powers.

    In China, they took power away from Japanese colonialism and subsequent mix of Koumingtang rule which violently opposed communists and the public who wanted land reform.

    In Vietnam, they fought French colonialism and US invasion.

    Similarly, in Korea, US installed a dictatorship to kill people who may have been even slightly sympathetic to socialism.

    Even in the case of slavery in US, the North, under the Lincoln govt, had to fight the south, right? Republicans were attacked in the south by Racial supremacist groups on that toom



  • Is USAmerica(worlds largest superpower) a successful capitalist country?
    Is slavery and Eps stuff a success?
    Success would need to be defined then, right?

    And your notions on everyone having to be perfect seems to be wrong. The main basis of Communism is who owns the means of production and the level of development. The minority of the ultrawealthy in capitalism vs the majority of the regular people in communism.
    Also, capitalist planning that focuses on profit and externalises social cost vs general planning that thinks about the ‘externalised stuff’.

    And if you want to go deeper into critiques of capitalism and why we need to plan beyond that, I think looking up aspects like the crisis of overproduction and the tendency of the falling rate of profit might be good.
    Others here maybe better able to explain more on that.








  • Bite-sized stuff?

    I see cool quotes or memes that are also linked to recent/contemporary things and it gets my interest to look more into it

    I have a friend and she thinks “its posh” to read theory.

    Well, maybe recommending things that would be directly useful for her or things that she likes would be good?
    And tell that it’ll also be useful to counter fake narratives and provide clarity in talking about it to others?
