A machine could never come up with a word like CummasaurusFlex. Only a human is that stupid.

Our phones are full of blatant authoritarian spyware already. What’s one more? I’d rather the CCP own my data than Meta or Microsoft anyways.

Commie sounds like a baby leftist that hasn’t read Das Kapital yet. He wouldn’t be trying to make this argument if he actually read Marx.

Just remember that port is a 4 letter word and so is left. So left is port and right is starboard.

Chipwich and I’ll smash it into my ass like I’m an upside down cookie monster.

You suck

That video literally shows the people that’re rioting and throwing Molotovs at military vehicles. This is also outside the square. Tankman is also the day before the riots and the tanks are leaving the square, not going into it.

I mean, if you need a legit journalist saying it, here’s a Western journalist that used to work for the Washington Post:

But, ultimately, there’s not going to be a new York Times article saying that China didn’t slaughter people for no reason because that’s against their goals as Western journalists. I guess you’d just have to believe that the news lies about things. But I guess you believe that the news always tells the truth and that they’re infallible.

What a funny way to ignore information that counters your viewpoints.

Well I can’t exactly quote CNN for you to show you the counter to Western propaganda, can I? Tell me a “legit source” that isn’t skewed by Western media.

Because propaganda is effective.

It was many factions. I’m just saying all of them were trying to have third revolutions while the people starved to death. At some point, revolutions end with a unifying government that isn’t trying to murder each other. Lenin was not the villain you’re painting him to be.

That’s not true at all. The Mensheviks wanted to cooperate with the bourgeoisie and were therefore a bad representation of socialism. Lenin formed the Bolsheviks because the Mensheviks were being stupid. The country was also fractured after the revolution and many groups of counter-revolutionary groups were trying to overthrow the barely formed government. Meanwhile famines were ravaging the country. Understanding the historical context of Russia in 1917 and the economic struggles the people were dealing with is very important to understanding why things happened the way they did. Looking at the aftermath of a revolution where everyone is vying for power and killing each other doesn’t automatically make the winner of that power grab the bad guys.

Weird, I was under the impression that the purges happened after Lenin died. Can ghosts lead a purge?

Probably living in the US

Profit sharing fixes all of this because it provides incentives for everyone to go the extra mile so they can make more money.

The watch and the gun. If Ash can figure out how to manufacture shotgun shells in medieval times so can I. I’ll also introduce the clock early and be praised for my genius

The bar in the picture says it’s a kilo which is $65, 344. While I could agree with OP that 10 kilos would give you an average house in higher priced areas like new York or LA, it would definitely buy you several nice houses in 1920.

That’s solidarity right there
