My favorite part is around 3:15 when he's walking through a flooded zone with AK-wielding guards along with pictures of him respecting women and girls, and then that high-pitched background sound starts to chime. I forgot the name of his party but it's the Dravidian Progressive Federation. Stalin's father, M. Karunanidhi, is a big deal in Tamil politics and literature (and literature in Tamil Nadu might be bigger than politics). He's dead now but he's second from left.

marxism vs social democracy Anonymous 04-03-25 02:33:37 No.2175708[Reply]

genuine question. whats wrong with reformism and social democracy? objectively, all marxist experiments have failed, and china is only successful because it became capitalist. these old revolutionary methods dont work. but what does work is state intervention in the economy which doesnt simultaneously erode civil liberties. marxists might think of social democracy as a means to an end, but why not an end in-itself? the rational principle of a balanced economy with representative democracy seems most acceptable with the general public, and with the demands of history. so, what exactly is wrong with social democracy?

Socdems want to continue bourgeois democracy (parliament) by any means necessary, including employing right wing death squads to kill communists. It's not hard to understand the issue here

For example, during the 1917 revolution in Russia, socdems in the beginning still had the popularity as revolutionaries, and they were elected in all kinds of people's councils and trade unions. In merely months their position reverted from anti-war, pro-worker, pro-confiscations, pro-nationalisation, pro-socialism, towards supporting the war at any cost necessary, "now that we are revolutionaries you, workers, must support our just fight against german imperialism!", towards "these capitalists are Russian patriots" and towards stripping of councils - Soviets - of powers and giving all those powers to the parliament.

I'm not exaggerating, that's how it went. They turned reactionary the moment they gained power

>>2178736
so your issue is that socdems are parliamentarians (???) and that in russia they were anti-communist?

Why do the communists "disdain to conceal their aims?" Would some subterfuge and subtlety not massively benefit the movement? In countries absolutely brainfucked by the cold war and the anticommunist emigre complex (like the burger reich), would it not make sense to attempt and smuggle Communism to the masses under another name, but the same premises? The premises of communism are very popular, but as soon as you use the name, people recoil in terror due to their programming. Does not a rose by any other name smell the same?

<In one treaty, the U.S. annexed the present-day states of California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas and Wyoming. It subsequently illegally invaded Indigenous territory in the west.

>Canada could be next — perhaps not immediately as the 51st state, but quite possibly as a U.S. territory that would deny Canadians any voting rights for Congress or the presidency, allow only some autonomy and make questions of citizenship ambiguous. The constitutional architecture exists in the U.S. to make it happen.

<That’s the wrong reading. How Trump could make good on the threat can be found in the U.S. Constitution. There is both potential and precedent for the U.S. to acquire territory through cession or subjugation.

what is the chance this happens in practice? How does NATO figure into this?
