It is relevant, though. They’re geopolitically aligned with China and are the junior partner. It’s ridiculous to think that they’re the biggest threat to world peace

They aren’t ideologically aligned (at least for the most part), but they’re geopolitically aligned by circumstance.

Complete psycho, but a funny guy

I think LBJ had one of these, and he would scare people by pretending the brakes were out and then driving into the water

Easy peasy! Scientific socialism posits that capitalism creates the conditions for its own overthrow. Thus, every evil that the capitalists commit ultimately undermines them and leads toward liberation. No matter how hard he tries, man cannot subvert God’s will, and even in attempting to do so he cannot but fulfill it. If liberation is incipient within the logic of the machinery of oppression, does this not imply the existence of a just God?

The imperialists, in their drive for greater profits, ended up undermining the military power that allowed them to keep control over the world - once again, the internal logic of capitalism drove itself toward its own destruction. The defence contractors consolidated, and every new procurement program became a multi-billion dollar boondoggle. But it didn’t matter, they had won! The USSR was gone, and the world was theirs. The US military would only ever need to bully small countries, and the production rates of advanced weaponry would never be a hindrance to that. In their hubris, they didn’t understand the extent to which they had undermined themselves, and they tried to pull on Iran what they pulled in Venezuela.

Iran was not a soft target. It was the hardest target they could have picked outside of China or Russia, and it was on the forefront of the military technologies that are the great equalizer in the 21st century - drones and missiles, fired out of hardened underground bases. The Amero-Israeli shock and awe campaign achieved little besides creating martyrs, and the empire was exposed as a paper tiger. They expended precision standoff munitions at an unsustainable rate, cutting deeply into the stocks earmarked for a big showdown with China, and they lost irreplaceable radars and high-value aircraft.

This is the first anti-imperial war in the modern era. Previous wars were anti-colonial in character, aiming to kick the imperialists out of Vietnam, or Angola, or Algeria. Iran has checked US power across the entire middle east, and the possibility still exists that they will be driven out of the region entirely. Where was the spark that ignited this conflagration blazing across the world? None other than the birthplace of Jesus Christ, Palestine.

THE SUN SMILES AT YOU WITH ETERNAL MALICE

Trump’s been doing a bang-up job on it so far

And if you look at the Israel/Gaza specific question, 60% of people responding think our support of Israel is either just right or not enough.

If true, would this not indicate that american elections are meaningless and america has to be destroyed? Why care about the lesser of two evils in a pro-genocide country?

YOU WILL LIVE TO SEE MANMADE HORRORS BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION.

Ultimately I think things’ll work out ok, though.

Thank God for imbuing you with skepticism

democracy for the slave owners?

You can’t let a pesky volk get in the way of the endsieg

Didn’t I say “admirable future goal” rather than “good idea right now”? Eventually, society ought to progress to the point where money is no longer needed, through both development of productive forces and development of societal attitudes. This is the goal of communism. The concept of money is only a few thousand years old, and humanity existed for hundreds of thousands of years longer than it, so it’s by no means impossible.

Did you ever watch the Star Trek shows? The Federation in Star Trek doesn’t have money. Both because they have replicators and can instantly reproduce any item using only energy, but also because they’re a more advanced society that has moved beyond needing a medium of exchange

I would like it if you were to expound on this in detail

I don’t think any socialist society has ever abolished money so far, though it’s an admirable future goal. The USSR certainly didn’t abolish money, they had Rubles.

You are very welcome!

Comparing the Holocaust to something that isn’t a genocide, in seriousness and not in jest.
