How many actual Bernie supporters voted for Trump? Or are you just making up a strawman to blame the left for the Democrats being incapable of winning the elections to a sex criminal or at the very least banning a fascist from elections during their mandate?
Lenin was much the same. He knew a revolution wouldn't happen if things got better, so he did everything he could to make things as bad as humanly possible
You are abso-fucking-lutely making that up. The Bolsheviks had support from workers and soldiers precisely because they advocated from the start on an unconditional retreat from WW1, which was leading to massive casualty numbers and famine. Pulling your country out of imperialist war (which they did immediately after Bolshevism won the revolution btw) is literally the opposite of accelerationism.
When the provisional government came along, granted free speech rights and universal suffrage, Lenin was vehemently opposed to it
If by "universal" you mean male suffrage, female suffrage was I actually first implemented in the former Russian empire by the communists. The Bolsheviks organized a coup against the provisional government to pull the RSFSR out of imperialist war, and the fact that a bunch of former political prisoners and exiles had the military support to do this and maintain a stable state (and win the upcoming civil war) proves that it was the correct choice. The unelected provisional government barely survived the fascist coups that sought to reinstate the Tsar and society was growing exhausted of famine and poverty due to the wartime conditions, if you support the provisional government you're literally arguing for Russian nationalism and militarism, blows my mind that you'd be doing this on 2026.
Look up the dates for the independence of Finland or Estonia, and tell me whether they line up with the Provisional Government or with the October Revolution, then tell me again which government was more democratic, the one keeping them under their thumb or the one drafting a constitution granting the unilateral right to self-determination and secession.
You can already mostly safely eat those, it was one of my party tricks at my previous job. Don't follow medical advice on the internet, ofc, myself included.
I think it's a bit harsh to call someone transphobic for not understanding something
Hmmm, I wouldn't necessarily consider it harsh. Our current societies are unfortunately transphobic, so not being exposed to trans issues is leads to transphobic attitudes and points of view. Transphobia doesn't exclusively mean "overt hatred of trans people", also internalized attitudes and thoughts such as oversexualization, stereotypes, etc.
As a centrist kind of non-woke person, if I see my son playing with dresses, I go "oh, cool" and move on
This is far from centrist, it's actually a very leftist position. "Leaving people be" sounds apolitical until you realize that 50% of the population want to repress trans people and consider them mentally ill. Wear your leftism with pride, non-judgmentalism against ethnic minorities, women and LGBTQ is a very political statement in a society that systematically oppresses them.
It's not about the IDEA of communism its the implementation
Let's see what this person's sources for how socialist implementation looked like:
Read the gulhag archipeligo
Lmfao, a fucking fiction book written by a fringe fascist-tsarist right wing nationalist. Your comment can be safely disregarded once we learn that your source on "socialist implementation" is literally a work of fiction. "Communism doesn't work in practice, you should watch The Avengers: Age of Ultron"-ass comment
You should try and read a normal book for adults, you know, an actual essay discussing the facts from a scientific standpoint and not a propaganda novel.
Go and read a real book for adults. I suggest you Albert Szymanski's "Human Rights in the Soviet Union" or "Is the Red Flag Flying", or Robert C. Allen's "Farm to Factory" if you're as concerned with the realities of Soviet people as you're showing us.
The Soviet Union were literally the closest allies of the Nazis
No, fuck you actually. I'm a Spaniard, and back in 1936 before any "Motherboard-Ribbedcock" anticommunist propaganda you're making (I've educated you about this topic before and you just refuse to absorb the facts), the Soviets were the ONLY country in the world arming the antifascists in Spain against Franco and Hitler. You're the saddest excuse for a propagandist I've seen, literally carrying water for genocidal maniacs and landlords while our societies collapse due to climate change and fascist takeover of our institutions. I refuse to entertain your bullshit, asshole.
communism is notorious for dragging societies into poverty
Socialist Romania had a growth of 800% of GDP per capita averaging at over 4% growth per year. Capitalist Romania averages out at about 2.5% GDP growth per year. A similar thing happened in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Bulgaria... Most Eastern Block countries saw massive destruction of living standards and economic progress during the transition to capitalism, you'd know this if you listened ONE time, you disgusting bullshitter.
You're literally a fucking genocidal maniac supporting the destruction of Eastern Europe in the name of Capitalism.
"You don't know? Chinese people liking their government means they're a dictatorship for some reason, seeseepee!!!!!!!111!1!11!1! All factual data about China can be disregarded because I'm a racist prick who doesn't conceive the idea that Chinese are free to speak their minds!!!"
You're such a boring anticommunist proapgandist, you've been educated a million times in this platform and you refuse to absorb the smallest knowledge.
If communism doesnt work, why did it take 1bn people out of poverty and save Europe from Nazism?
You have far fewer desperate people to feed into the meat grinder
Funnily enough, socialist countries typically don't feature unemployment, making the utilization of labor more effective. Also, planned economy has immense potential in the information era.
you have to be right everywhere every time or the oppressors will magnify your failures both at home and abroad
You have tools to curb this, there's a reason why the great internet firewall exists.
your researchers aren't researching almost exclusively weapons of mass destruction
I'm from Spain, we had fascism for 40 years. We had no public education for everyone, no free healthcare for everyone, no guaranteed employment, no right to unionize, no pensions, no guaranteed housing, university was only for the rich families, farm workers were exploited by the landowners, there was immense racism and ethnonationalism as state policy, and other cultures and languages (see Basque and Catalan) were forbidden and repressed.
Communism is literally antithetical to fascism, it provides universal free healthcare, universal pensions, guaranteed right to employment, guaranteed housing at affordable prices, universal free education to the highest level, respect for local cultures and languages, socialist internationalism as opposed to ethnonationalism, highest unionization rates, redistribution of the farmlands... This is the reason why the first thing fascists do is murdering all communists, anarchists and socialists
I suggest you read more on what fascism actually was, and what communism has historically actually been.
According to western surveys too? So, everything good about China is fake news, nice maga hat you're wearing there! "Democracy perceptions is also Gynese propaganda!!!"
Yes, Argentina suffered a CIA sponsored fascist regime that consolidated the wealth, media and power of the country in a select far right elite, and they're still suffering the consequences, this is part of the same problem
hexbear.net has raised over $1500 for Palestine over the past few weeks
I have plenty of online and IRL comrades, not sure what you mean.
Simping for dictators
I've never simped for dictators, you just mistake "foreign nation with geopolitical interests opposite from the US" with dictators.
My dear democracy-lover, what's your opinion on the recent push for grassroots democracy in socialist Vietnam? They're eliminating an entire echelon of bureaucrats quickly and giving the budgets and decision-making power directly to local councils to administer directly. Surely since you're a democracy lover you're aware of this and you support it?
