this is the official channel of the communist party of Cuba, can you believe it? They've only got like 8k subs and are barely getting any views.

Gorbachev was based otherwise the anti imperialist Putin wouldn't have done that

>>6292

>anti imperialist Putin
Bro literally invaded Ukraine dumbass

>>6295
Well yes, but NATO was literally at his doorstep.

>imperialism is when war
read book

Just because NATO is at your doorstep doesn’t mean it’s justified to bomb apartment buildings and sell Ukrainian children on apps where you can filter them by hair color.

I never said that, the difference is that Russia is only doing this for land expansion, natural resources, and cultural imperialism. Just because you oppose American hegemony doesn’t mean that you are an anti-imperialist, by that logic Hitler would of been an anti-imperialist.

That doesn't happen? The fuck do you mean?

I got it from here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_abductions_in_the_Russo-Ukrainian_war#
I was going off Wikipedia which is a resource I trust but I do take it with a pinch of salt. My stance of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is that I acknowledge that it’s the US’s fault because it kept trying to encircle Russia even after the Soviet Union fell and that it’s annoying how libbed-up Ukraine is but it’s still not justified to invade it. I don’t know how many children Russia abducted or if those apps were even real but I still believe that there is some truth to them occurring.

What China actually is is incredibly debatable.

Sure, they're "ideologically" communist, but ideology doesn't really matter. Material conditions are what ultimately drive action. And materially, I would argue that China is best described as fascist. In fact, they are actually probably the closest we've ever come to fascism as described by ᴉuᴉlossnW. Instead of eliminating the class antagonisms of Capitalism China has instead sublimated them by adding an additional layer of control on top. The bourgeois may be beholden to the party bureaucracy, but the oppression of the proletariat by the bourgeois nonetheless still exists.

A common objection to this claim is that the bureaucracy of the CPC speaks for the proletariat, but in practice, it really doesn't. The Chinese system is ultimately designed to give high-ranking party members the most control, leading to a system where, because of matrial self-interest, the party makes decisions that favor itself rather than the proletariat it supposedly serves.

This isn't to say that China's system is inherently inferior to Western liberal democracy or anything. But it definitely isn't communism, and if it is, then "communism" as a term is worthless.

Nah, fascists are wholly incompetent.

i say this with no joy: billionaires won. climate change won. imperialism won. colonialism won. capitalism won. racism won. reactionaries won. religion won. revisionism won. fascism won. psychopaths won. sociopaths won. it's really just a matter of deciding how to cope with their victory as they inevitably destroy the only home we have: Earth. If anyone achieves communism, it will be outside this cursed solar system.
