  • Do you have stuff on this? Not sources, I'm not asking you to prove you are correct, I was wondering since you said this that you may have something that I can take a look at.

  • “The whole working gang is interested in production. The program for next month is discussed with all of us. The foreman calls a meeting and tells us that the administration wants us to put out 3,000 milling tools next month. How shall we do it? We discuss in detail; each of us says what he can do. It all adds up to 4,000. So the foreman goes to the administration and raises the plan to 4,000. [...]

  • Liberals do not want to critique Marxism, they wish to endlessly dismiss it

  • Moderate in what context? Moderate about Jews in 1938 Germany? Jews at some point in time before that? Black people in 1800s Amerikkka. Black people in today's amerikkka?

  • the admin

    Which one? The not admin mathemachristian? Or some other you aren't linking to?

  • Replied to wrong comment

  • Lemmy.ml hasnt defederated from Lemmy.cafe, it only goes one way

  • I wondered what you wrote, unfortunately it seems like it was on a different account as there is zero things in the (hexbear) modlog for this username.

  • This is the problem with hexbear: they lure you in with things like gaming and then you start agreeing with them that none should go hungry or homeless and once you realize it, you've become a trans redfash tankie gobbunist (/s)

  • Has it not? Has it not caused the death of 1 million people in Indonesia? Has it not caused 7 million excess deaths due to "shock-therapy" in Russia alone? Has it not caused the brutality, violence and oppression of the "dictatorships" that the CIA installed in Latin America? Has it not caused countless famines? Has it not caused the economic ruin of Africa and Latin America?

  • What happens if you turn this around?

    The precise terminology of the US's political system is unimportant. What is important is that wherever the recipes of [Liberalism] have been tried, the result has been violence, brutality, oppression, famine, economic ruin.

    This is all true of course. So what then? Do you also reject Liberalism?

  • There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror — that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

  • Yes. Soviet does mean council. I misinterpreted what you were saying.

  • I would probably call myself a marxist if tankies hadn’t so thoroughly stained the term.

    So you've read Marx and Engles and agree with them?

    Edit: I am also well aware that there were unions in the soviet union, hence the name

    No actually. The Soviet Union was a union of national republics, hence the name.


    I want to "throw" Soviet Democracy at you, but I haven't finished my epub of it yet... I should get on it.Oh, I have This Soviet World. Doesn't go into as much detail, but does go over it.

  • I have no idea what you are talking about, Hexbear is clearly a furry instance. It's in the name!
