Yep, people would get free, high quality education, and then go to the west to make more money.

So you shoot them for leaving the country because they got education in your system? Yeah…very social of you.

Wrong, actually. The vast majority regret the fall of the USSR and say they lived better under it.

Nostalgia: A mood triggered by discomfort with the present and filled with an indefinite longing, which is expressed in a return to a past time that has been transfigured in the imagination and whose fashion, art, music, etc. is revived.

i bet we’re far better of than the UdssR was. Again: you don’t comply? Ok Gulag for you!

1. Social Credit is largely a myth, Capitalist countries have worse systems.
2. Capitalist internet is also censored.
3. Tian’anmen Square in April 1989 was actually peaceful, the conflicts and deaths happened outside the square itself, hence why there’s a western myth that the CPC is somehow covering up a mass-Maoist protest against Dengist reforms, when the CPC acknowledges that hundreds of people were killed that day in the areas surrounding the Square.

1. maybe, ok. I don’t see what the benefit is from that being a hoax.
2. well you can look up nearly all warcrimes ever committed. Try using chinese Google to look up their warcrimes…whoops nothing there. Uighurs? No…nothing happening.
3. Really dude? the Massacre is a myth or at least the covering up of it? C’mon…pray tell me you believe at least the moonlanding was a real thing

Hm I’d say, as a central European, that our continent had centuries of war and destruction and we finally left that behind. And I have no fucking clue what the Imperial core is.

Considering the Anarchy: I believe that people need to be governed over. No order, no civilization…

“It has worked and continues to work. Read more than US state propaganda. Utopianism is anti-Marxist, Marxists advocate for Scientific Socialism.”

Yeah…the DDR worked so well they had to build a wall to keep people from leaving the country.

UdssR worked also so well that the ex-member nations would rather burn than return.

North Korea is such an awesome system it also hinders it’s people at leaving. Oh and the regular parades to praise the leader… much social yeah.

Uh and China…nice place to live? Yeah, I sincerely believe that but you say something, anything against the system? Ups…bye bye social points. And the internet is totally not censored. Tian’anmen square? Nothing ever happened!

Well I compare the extreme left with the extreme right since it is basically the same imho. Different reasoning for the mindset of “what’s not with us is against us”.

Communists committed the same crimes as the Nazis so of into the same cell and the key is best disposed of.

And the other big problem with pure socialism:

Why hasn’t it worked yet? No Utopia as of yet, only repression, human rights violation and death.

It’s as if the human factor is the point where there is change needed, not the system itself.

I don’t see many central European states killing people for the reason of having different ideologies these days. And if they did their leaders wouldn’t be celebrated for the books they wrote.

Without any kind of repressive system you’ll have anarchy.

That sure is a lot of stuff to read and i bet its dry lecture. To be honest, i won’t start looking into them, so thus far you have me. Maybe it’s ignorant but Lenin, for me, goes in the same pot as Stalin and Mao and the baddest of them all from Austria. I don’t know if there are good ideas in their writings/ methods/ ideologies…what i know is that these are people who abused their power. They ordered people killed or at least restrained who wouldn’t comply to them…so i don’t know if their works and deeds are a thing to build upon.

I not very educated on the matter but i’d think that “Post-growth” in capitalism maybe is a solution or at least a way to a solution?

Capitalism sucks, yeah. They steal from you, yeah. Thing is that this happens in every system as long as humans are involved. So maybe we as a hole have to go through somekind of capitalistic-cataclysm, which i don’t want for me or my kids, but has to happen none the less to come up with something neither Marx & Co. or capitalists envisioned as of yet.

Marx manifest is 23 pages long. And i wouldn’t take Lenin as someone to refer to…his “red terror” says enough. Of course one could say that doesn’t mean he was wrong about other things, yeah but where does that leave us?

yeah…23 pages from 1848 surely have all the right answers for the problems of a globalized economy and a society which is so fed up that it is creating its own problems.

I was banned from Reddit for allegedly promoting “hate”.

Story: There was post about convicted criminals being send bacl to Afghanistan and that they were released there and are, in fact, not in prison. After a little discussion if that is good or bad i wrote that imho the cutural background CAN be a factor for not fitting well into western society. Backed by the fact that there are people considered criminals here in Germany but not in Afghanistan. I also wrote in a follow up comment that i don’t see any culture as better or worse baseline…only that there are some that CAN crash with western worldview.

That got me banned and my appeal, stating that i didn’t sold my opinion as a fact is being ignored.

The really sad thing is that i made the mistake of engaging a political topic online and it seems that mistake is iredeemable in the eyes of some faceless Reddit mod. I srsly liked it there for my interests in the other communities.

So now i found Lemmy.World and hope to can engage in the same stuff as there…except for the hot topics of politics…
