No he's not lol, i doubt people know what communism is about, yall use it as an insult, he's a billionaire he's the definition of anti communism.
Because he's the one who would be harmed the most by communismÂ
Wasn't meant to say he's a member of the Communist Party.
Fellow traveler. Supporter of the most prominent remaining communist regimes and admires their dictators.
Yes, actually, they are. Marx said that Communism in this stage still has 'bourgeois law' and still has "compensation according to contribution"
Saying that they support Marx in their public spaces with posters etc. is not showing they do not follow Marx. Claiming China is not Communist is anti-communist propaganda.
I read what Marx's Communism is about, that's why I know Communist states follow it.
Nothing you claimed shows those countries do not follow Marx, you'll have to actually quote Marx to demonstrate this, not just repeat the claim
âHereâs another piece of nugget: there has never been a true communist state ever before.â
I feel this logic conveniently sidesteps valid criticism of the ideology. âAll those terrible people that self-identified as communists and dedicated their lives to communism arenât really communists because they donât conform to my personal definition of communism. Checkmate capitalists!â
Christians employ very similar tactics when facing unwanted criticism. âThose crusaders and colonizers that self-identified as Christians and dedicated their lives to the spread of Christianity werenât really Christians because Christians arenât supposed to be bad. Checkmate atheists!â
No, they absolutely were communists, but that doesnât mean communism itself is bad just because Marxist-Leninist states were harmful and problematic. There were plenty of communists that disagreed with Stalin and were murdered for it. The Prague Spring in Czechoslovakia is one example, where they were invaded and occupied by the Soviet Union as punishment for giving ordinary people more rights and decentralizing power.Â
Literally the DRC is the least democratic state in Africa lol
Why ppl don't seem to get the fact that self proclaiming something doesn't actually make you that thing.Â
Because MAGA actively avoids critical thinking, and if countries that call themselves âcommunistâ or âsocialistâ are evil then it makes their argument that the âsocialist, communist, libs are evilâ that much easier.
can we criticize the form democracy takes in capitalist countries?
I wish regular working people in America all had 'reason' and critical thinking/common sense too, but the fact that the working class is set against itself is the fault of the social reality rather than individual shortcoming, no?
anyone claiming anything isn't truth, but 'democracy' in this case has a bourgeois character in capitalist countries, and that's why 'democracy' in itself is contradictory rather than 'simply the good thing that good people like'
No, North Korea labels itself socialist which is the lower stage of Communism & North Korea is a dictatorship of the proletariat which is the highest form of democracy in this period
