I mean obviously if socialism didn't want a US backed coup they wouldn't dress like that.....

[-] lemmyarcade@lemmy.ml 59 points 8 months ago

And they wonder why we get all these migrants at our southern border. Maybe if they hadn't destabilized the entire region to the south people wouldn't be trying to escape those places.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 33 points 8 months ago

It's shocking to me that people aren't able to connect the dots here.

I don't always agree with everything you post, but this is >100% on point.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 35 points 8 months ago

It'd be boring here if we all agreed on everything. Disagreement is how we learn from each other. :)

[-] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 20 points 8 months ago

Agreed again. Keep fighting the good fight friend

I think about this every time some centrist claims that no leftist system has ever worked.

[-] Traister101@lemmy.today 19 points 8 months ago

I mean the big ones people like to point at (Rushia and fucking Nazi Germany) sure as shit weren't doing communism or socialism

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social 30 points 8 months ago

I don't think anyone points at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system. They were literally fascist lol

[-] TxzK@lemmy.zip 29 points 8 months ago

I don't think anyone points at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system

I've seen many idiots do that unfortunately

[-] DoctorSpocktopus@lemmy.ca 16 points 8 months ago

There are definitely some folks that see “National Socialism” as the party name and look no further. Fortunately, I don’t think it’s a strong majority, but they pop up online.

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social 11 points 8 months ago

Oof I feel concerned about those people.

I guess it's similar to "an" caps.

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 8 points 8 months ago

The Intersection is indeed a very high degree.

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social 5 points 8 months ago

It would be funny if there weren't people suffering and dying because of it

[-] NecroticEuphoria@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago

Reminder that there's a bird called titmouse

[-] JayDee@lemmy.ml 12 points 8 months ago

Both Crowder and Shapiro have claimed this. They point out that the Nazi party was the 'National Socialist German workers' party' and claim that's enough for it to be socialist, and then also claim Russia is a communist country.

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 11 points 8 months ago

Crowder and Shapiro are complete idiots.

[-] pingveno@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago

Idiots? On the right? Arguing in bad faith? You don't say...

[-] Traister101@lemmy.today 5 points 8 months ago

It's always as a "See!! Socialism bad!!" but yep they were literally fascist, Rushia too and yet here we are with people still thinking communist Rushia was communist.

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 12 points 8 months ago

Jewish holocaust scholars don't like it when you call the USSR fascist

https://jewishcurrents.org/the-double-genocide-theory

[-] Traister101@lemmy.today 5 points 8 months ago

That sucks. USSR by definition was a fascist regime so I don't really care what they want

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 8 points 8 months ago

Okay have fun with the holocaust trivialization I guess.

[-] Traister101@lemmy.today 3 points 8 months ago

Saying that Facists are Facists is trivializing the holocaust? How's that work? The fact Nazis were Facists doesn't trivialize the fact that other groups are also Facists. Facists like to kill people that's kind of their whole ideology. Fascist ideology leads directly to the kind of ideas the Nazis had.

[-] bigboig@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago

Tankies are tiring, right? ✌️

[-] Traister101@lemmy.today 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah despite how much I want to fight back I know I'll just be wasting my energy

[-] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 months ago

Fascism is when you oppose fascism.

Do you even understand what the words you're using mean?

[-] Gabu@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

The USSR was a dictatorship, but not a fascist dictatorship.

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 months ago

Stalin tried to resign 3 times and wasn't allowed to. Weird thing for a dictator to not be allowed to do.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 months ago

Ignoring everything else wrong about your one sentence, a dictatorship needn't be helmed by a single person. Brazil was a dictatorship from the 60s to the 90s, and had 6 different presidents during that time.

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Okay, what about the whole soviets and sharing power with trade unions thing? What about their innovations in participatory democracy. The USSR were hyperdemocratic, even on war footing, at least until destalinization happened and the bureaucracy started taking hold.

Incredibly I don't think that the USSR is "as bad as the Nazis" nor did I say anything like that. Is that why you morons are calling me a Nazi? Do you guys need a paragraph explaining that yes I do think the Nazis are bad?

I'm not trying to win fuckn internet points I'd still be on reddit if I got turned on by that kinda shit. You people are.

Not sure if alternative spelling or if your autocorrect really likes controversial vtuber Uruha Rushia.

[-] Traister101@lemmy.today 6 points 8 months ago

Ah shit. Guess you can tell what kinda stuff I like watching

[-] ohitsbreadley@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Even the DDR wasn't doing socialism. The public had to be all-in the idea, or they were discredited or arrested. It was an authoritarian autocracy acting in the name of socialism.

[-] Apollo@sh.itjust.works 27 points 8 months ago

"Communism never works out"

I fucking wonder why!

[-] ULS@lemmy.ml 13 points 8 months ago

I don't think this meme format could ever die.

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago

Why does Venezuela want to invade Guyana right now?

Probably because oil. Socialist assholes behave the same way as every other asshole on the planet. Same shit, different "-ism".

[-] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

In that situation, Guyana is the socialist. Venezuela's Maduro is a reactionary

[-] Gabu@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

LMAO, imagine thinking that Venezuela's seat of power isn't also a tactical sabotage.

Stating a fallacy doesn't make it true.
