😯 why is this not a thing yet.
8·9 days agoPretty much every country lol. Why do you impute the values of like 10 imperialist capitalist countries on the other 190?
There’s a lot of marxist debate over this, but the general view is best shown by this phrase:
“When the Spanish came to the americas, they demanded the peoples to become christians. When the English came, they wiped them out.”
Even the Spanish Queen Isabella in the 1500s after Columbus’s voyages demanded that the indigenous peoples be considered subjects with full rights. The Spanish never tried to systematically wipe out the indigenous in the same way the english did.
And by the time of Bolivar, a big chunk of Latin Americans were, although christian, supportive of indigenous resistance, and slave rebellions like in haiti. At the same time presidents in the US were decrying the haitian revolution and carrying out the largest scale genocide of our time.
The current regime in Kiev was installed by a US coup in 2014. Obama even bragged about carrying it out.
There’s like < 10 current countries founded on settler colonialism.
The US, Canada, Israel, Australia, New Zealand are the main ones
Yes it would (or should). I don’t think we should be using sexualized metaphors as demeaning attacks in any circumstances.
Please don’t use sexualized attacks like that. This isn’t reddit.
As a Norwegian i see 100x more pro china propaganda

Euro-“communism”, not even once.
Is China State Capitalist?
- The backbone of the economy is state ownership and socialist planning. 24 / 25 of the top revenue companies are state-owned and planned. 70% of the top 500 companies are State-owned. 1, 2 The largest bank, construction, electricity, and energy companies in the world, are CPC controlled entities, subject to the 5 year plans laid out by the central committee.
- Workplace democracy in action in the CPC.
- Is modern day china communist? Is it staying true to communist values?
- Didn’t China go Capitalist with Deng Xiaoping? Didn’t it liberalize its economy? Is China’s drastic decrease in poverty a result of the increase in free market capitalist policies?
- Is the CPC committed to communism?

Home ownership rate is the percentage of homes occupied, not the percentage of people who own their homes (or even have positive equity in them).
From what I could find, 1/3rd of the adult population rents, another 3rd have mortgages with negative equity, and 1/3rd have positive or paid off mortgages. I couldn’t find the number who fully own their homes.
Either way all of the above categories could still be house-poor, meaning you’re spending most of your income on housing and upkeep, and could still be a paycheck away from homelessness, unable to pay rent/mortgage. I had a relative who fully owned her home, but was unable to pay the property tax and her house was seized.
If that isn’t the definition of imperialism, I don’t know what is.
Yeah, its clear you have no clue what that is. Trade and development are not imperialism.
Banned. Some people really do have zero compassion for others that might be harmed.
Democrats were and will be happy to continue to bomb all trans ppl out of existence, as long as they’re not from white countries.
Democrats were staunchly against even gay marriage… Hillary Clinton was against it until 2008. They’re an opportunistic controlled opposition party and will be against your rights as soon as it becomes expedient.
After winning the Nobel peace prize, Obama dropped an average of 30k bombs / year (80 per day) during his presidency, mostly on Muslim countries, 2, 3. In 2016 alone, dropped 26,171 bombs in the Middle East and North Africa, up 3000 from the previous year. The countries bombed include Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Somalia.

Liberalism is the ideology of the ruling capitalist class, and supports their “freedom” to extract surplus value from wage workers.
It has many defenders (a few even among the working class!), just like feudalism / monarchism had some peasant-class defenders.
Anyways the class contradictions between workers and capitalists are irreconcilable, are there is no sense trying to “unite” with our exploiters and class enemies.
