but what if the media tastes really good
How i sleep knowing that Margaret Thatcher is being cooked alive in the eternal depths of hell:
i know but me and my father always return to the same question: “then why dont we just vote away the negatives of capitalism” whose negatives are so tightly connected to the pillars that make up capitalism that you simply cannot just vote away some bad aspect of it without getting rid of it entirely
he can be but most of the times he is just a doomer who cries about human nature rather than thinking of solutions.
Im from a well-off family and both of my petit-bourgeois parents are hardcore liberals who who hate china and bite into every US propaganda campaign. And thats how i grew up, me and my dad used to have the same political views “china bad, russia bad, americans stupid but still better than than the rest and our succdem system is the best system blablabla”. My father is a very political person and thats why i early on got interested in politics and got recommended alot of political content on my social medias. For a long time, all the politics i engaged with were senseless identity discussion with brain-dead Trumpists and i remember always getting angry when people pointed out the atrocities committed by the US empire as that would imply that the US and therefore us as a whole (US and the EU or the “west”) are bad. These useless discussions sucked the life out of me and just made me tired the entire day so one day i decided to simply not care about politics anymore…i didnt really care about who are the good guys or who are the bad guys which also meant i didnt care if the US is bad which opened up a way for me to take information and history in from a other perspective. Thats how whenever i saw some history clip or documentation calling out the US for its war-crimes i simply went along with it and thought “hm maybe the US isnt that good but i dont really care” to the point where after some time i realised: “wait…the US is SHIT and not for the reasons i thought”. Having realised how the big brother USA is bad, it made me question my own media i saw on national TV and Radio which all always were pretty Western-centric and pro USA and made me notice that it is nothing more than western propaganda what we are being fed. Knowing this is researched History from non-western perspectives, that eventually led me to bit by bit have more socialist-ish views until where im now, a ML
thank you for the explanation
thank you for giving these examples, i will try to explain these to my friends
oh excuse me, i used google translate for the scripts so they might be a little off, but they are supposed to say “to the future” in vitenamese, chinese (simplified), spanish, laotian and korean
ofcourse you can use it, all my art is free to use for my fellow comrades
here, i hope thats what you mean
im not hating the youth, im a “youngster” myself y’know. Its just a fact that generations who didnt experience fascism and the transition to democracy are not as willing to bite in alternative systems like socialism now that their country has transitioned to a “real democracy”…and ofcourse anti-communist propaganda is everywhere
We will not forget comrade Hideo Kojima
It really is sad. Socialism winning over Portugal could’ve changed the course of the cold war with it being the first west-european nation to turn socialist…that would’ve been a major victory for the international socialist cause
i forgot to mention that the US and the USSR were closely following the Events, to the point that the US even had plans to invade Portugal in case of a socialist government emerging. The CIA also funded “leftist” terrorists who would plant bombs and kill civilians to discredit the communist movement which greatly impacted the movements image and public support, these CIA funded terrorists (the Forcas Populares 25 de Abril) were the reason why the communist Party had to step back from the public for a great time.
to my understanding, the people who lived/ grew up during the PREC period supporting the communists are simply becoming old while the more out-of-touch people after it who were already raised in the aftermath, believe that the old communists are just senile and feel nostalgic or whatever.
throw him in a hole with other fascists and see who will eat the other first
“okay but have you ever considered how bad the soviet union was?? Like im not a Nazi or anything but they did kinda have a reason to genocide Jews because a lot of soviet politicians were Jews and wanted to genocide Aryan Ukrainians to further spread the cancer of judeo-bolchevism.”
