2·2 months agoQuestion, even if what you’re saying was true, what does it serve in the context of discussing the US military intervention in a sovereign country? Besides legitimating the US and its actions, that is.
What you’re saying is different from what they implied. They instead want to shift the narrative to other countries, because should I speak of a “good thing” of another country, they would instantly retort about it and thus lead the original discussion astray, that is, that the United States is an imperialist war machine that serves the interests of its upper class. You don’t need comparison to evaluate US war crimes and crimes against humanity, unless you want to delve into whataboutism.
What IS an example of something good?
The US not intervening militarily politically and economically in other countries.
I understand that you’re trying to push the goal posts, so I am disengaging.
Why should you bring up other countries when we’re discussing the US? Especially when the US is not like any other country but the center of global imperialism?
USAID had always been a soft power tool to further US imperialist interests.
As a global south citizen, we never received any “good things” from the USA. Only war and destruction, a century before Trump.
Ah, unsurprisingly.
Unfortunately when people criticize socialist countries for the lack of “free speech,” even if with good intentions, they are usually parroting the talking points of Western, bourgeois media and only serves as to justify imperialist intervention against them.
These criticisms however derive from an ignorance of the way politics work in such countries whose only perception comes from behind the iron curtain and only through the lens of fascist and capitalist media.
In historically socialist countries, democracy had always been principally practiced on the local and communal stages, where individuals had the most capacity to take decisions regarding their daily lives and the situation of their neighbourhood, locality or commune. I highly recommend reading on this topic:
She deserves it as much as Kissinger and Shimon Peres deserve it.
Communism has always been the ideal. However, we have to take into account that we do not live in a bubble insulated from everyone else. We are facing the real, global and continuous threat of imperialist invasion by the capitalist forces. See Cuba and Venezuela, for instance.
It’s really hard to not be an ultra-militaristic society when the CIA and the enemies of the proletariat are always lurking in the shadows and looking for any miniscule gap to breach socialist countries from within. Regardless, we need to diffuse a proletarian, anti-bourgeois culture among the masses in order to inhibit the possibilities of foreign intervention.
Decades of sanctioning and warmongering by the US and its allies has kept a small country like the DPRK on the defensive, which isn’t ideal if you want a thriving nation, regardless of its ideology.
FYI, Machado is a far-right plant who’s championing the sanctions and US intervention in her country and every other nation that opposes imperialism. Notwithstanding her vocal and active support for far-right parties in Europe and LatAm.

The human condition is dictated by the hegemonic system that is governing.
Monopoly™ the game is structually engineered so that players kill the competition and secure the entire board. Would playing by the game’s rules make me inherently a capitalist jerk? No, because they dictate my behaviour and not following them would put me outside the realm of the game (i.e. the system) resulting in my loss (decay).
If the capitalist system incentivizes me to outcompete others and hoard my wealth and, conversely, punishes me for my altruism; then, I am forced to play by the rules of such a system.
“Human nature” is much more complex to be reduced to just greed. This is what’s so cool about being humans, we are so malleable and can be many many things either at once or separately.
Edit: I want to give some concrete examples to what I’m saying. Initially, the Google leadership was skeptical about AI funding, because of privacy and environmental concerns. Yet, as rival competition grew they backpedaled because this would mean their spot as the strongest teck company would be usurped. The late hop into AI funding and development heavily impacted their prospects and they remain falling behind in this respect (source). Here, we have an exemplary case of how the system automatically punishes hood deeds and reinforces predatory and greedy acts.
If he’s wealthy then he has a lot of assets which can serve as a guarantee for the creditor.
“evil corporation” is quite the tautology.
Give Vimusic a try!
We’re not arguing against profitability. However, making growth and profit central to social platforms is the culprit.
