"see communism can still achieve great successes" - skinned on Soviet successes in space and overrated guns.
"that wasn't real communism" - skinned on the starvation, denial of human rights, and fall of the Soviet Empire.
maybe the real communism is the friends that starved along the way.
Overrated guns? Only to hobbyists i suppose.
Denial of human rights? We have that too. We are suspending due process and habeas corpus with secret police arrests, we have race-based detainment similar to Japanese Internment occurring, it is uncommon for any president to a majority of the electorate support them...we have a very large percentage of our population incarcerated, with three strikes and lifetime sentences for the behavior of drug use plus drug war....
We defend ourselves as land of the free based on our high gdp.
We had eradicated hunger problems in the 70s only to bring them back under the guise of small government.
How many non-white or non-male heads of state have we had compared to for example Pakistan, who have had more than one type of leader. Tsarist Russia has had more plurality of leadership than the USA. Rome had a transgendered syrian who tried to become a sun god as emperor so it gets weirder lol.
You act like an Empire falling is a crime? What empire hasn't fallen, genius? The EU is coming to life and failing in 20-30 years it seems.
The entire American war against the Philippines was to open markets. It was a genocidal blood bath. How many Panamanians did America kill to make a canal through their country? How many corpses are in the Hoover Dam?
"That isn't the real capitalism". Ok. Name one fucking system where nothing bad happens please since you know it all? We had Americans starving to death in the Dust Bowl. The Russian you is probably bringing that up when someone there said Americans do organized sports better than anyone else.
I'm not whitewashing any system. There has never been a system that has done what people expect government to be able to do. Fuck communism too, i never claimed it was superior to capitalism, its killed as many people as capitalism and divine right of kings per capita. I just hate the black and white thinking.
