I know other authoritarian regime known for trains. It was called third Reich…
Maybe there is no freedom, constant invigilation, laogai, using people as resources and selling them to multinational corporations so they can work their ass off manufacturing cheap goods for western corporations, but at least there are more trains. Absurdism maxing
Two party state is the same as one party authoritarian state but with extra steps.
Sorry, but if you have to choose which very rich guy is going to control your life, it’s not a democracy.
Us dual party system is very close to Chinese system, and far from democracy.
So you want more?
How on earth are you actually trying to equate this to French neocolonialism,
I dont understand why on one hand you’re so aware about France neocolonialism, and not aware about Russian neocolonialism in Africa?
Also add to the lista Russian neocolonialism in Europe, sending Russian separatists in to many countries, add what Russia did in Chechnya, and so on.
m saying you’re full of shit
Sounds funny from someone who don’t know anything about Russian exploitation of African nations, genocides in Ukraine, and destruction of Chechnya and Belarusian culture and language. But I’m the one full of shit :)
So commenting about imperialist state under anti imperialistic meme is whataboutism?
And I’m living in Europe, and I criticize imperialism that doesn’t affect me that much like usa, Israel, but also Russian imperialism and attack on independent country Ukraine, and that is showing Europe and Poland as it’s enemy. I’m also criticizing Chinese exploitation of Africa, so the thing that gives us very cheap goods.
But what this have to do with the topic, I don’t know.
So France bad because it’s exploiting Africa, but when ruSSia is doing the same thing and way worst things in Europe “that’s doesn’t change the fact…”?
Noone is saying that France is good or not exploiting Africa, but one of us is pretending that Russia is not doing worst things.
In a last year, how many wars was started by France? How many times France was aggressive towards neighbours? How many times wanted other independent country to cut ties to its allies and get rid of military?
But there’s Africa and other parts of the world. Yes. And Russian forces are also there
And where is the most imperialistic country in Europe, Russia ruled by right wing authoritarian regime.
Country well known for constant invigilation, killing opposition, journalists, activists, LGBT people and so on. Country that wants to rebuild old imperium, attacked Ukraine and want to demilitarize eaastern Europe and so on.
I agree. But please add other imperial countries to your flag list, like for example russian flag and other well known capitalist state from Asia.
I’m curious, question to all of you who know very good what Marx and other people wrote about communism.
What in your opinion is bad or wrong or what you don’t like in communism. I’m not asking about what was wrong with Soviet Union or China, I’m asking only about the ideology.
And it might not be realistic, it’s too idealistic and so on, but this is too general answer. And we know that it helped people in countries like Russia, or China, thanks to the revolution live of a regular person got way better, that person got access to education, schools, higher chance to achieve something in the life and so on. We all know that. Revolution was a people answer to systematic exploitation for many generations.
With facism, nationalism, authoritarian ideologies, neoliberalism it’s easy. It’s based on exploitation and whole system is based on a ruling class, and lower class that is nothing more than a slave nation. So let’s not talk about these systems.
Of course that Russian people have way more reasons to protest. Before Russian invasion in Ukraine a lot of Russian workers and students move to Poland and Europe searching for better live. That’s why I know quite a lot of people from the east. I’m from Poland.
Quality of life is shit, few years ago Putin legalized domestic violence, police is corrupted and invigilation is sky high. All the statistics regarding quality of life, perspectives, money are shit. Either you’re living in one of few big cities, or you are very poor without running (around 20% of all households don’t have it) water and real roads. And this is going on country with huge natural resources. Oligarchs takes all the money.
Just because usa is better in imperialism than Russia that is terrorizing people of Belarus to stay with Russia, and the Chechens, this doesn’t mean that Russia is any better.
And as far as facts goes, Russia is the country that it’s authoritarian right wing regime is known for killing opposition and independent journalists. USA and mangas are slowly going towards the same but they are way behind.
America gets to bomb and murder
No one said that, please stop with the manipulations and straw man arguments.
there convinced you live in a democracy.
Everyone knows that county controlled by oligarchs it’s not democracy, Russian people knows it better than ani other, i wish for Russians to again start revolution and again get rid of oligarchs ruling class. USA is slowly going the same way.
Like I said in the beginning, in the Europe and the west we have many problems, especially in the USA. Buy still we can protest, we have ineptness journalists, Media, and we can organize. There’s so much freedom, that in the current situation where Russia is a biggest threat, you can still organize pro Russian conference or political party. In Russian people like Politkowska were killed just far criticism of the Putin’s regime, and pro Putins bots will lie about Russian genocide in Katyń, where thousands of polish intellectuals and officers were killed, goal was to destroy polish culture.
Main difference between USA, Europe, and east countries like Russia, china is that there are massive protesters, media coverage, and understanding that government is not the same as society.
How many massive protest there are in the Russian imperialism and attack on Ukraine? There were some at the beginning but people were arrested, and Russia is well known for killing journalists and opposition.
Of course USA imperialism is very bad, there is no such thing like good authoritarian power, but we know about it thanks to western media and activists. That’s why we need independent media and journalism. That’s why we need about how USA, China an many others are exploring Africa, and so on.
Don’t get me wrong, but you have to live under a rock, or be very hard indoctrinated by USA imperialistic propaganda, to ignore all the facts, movies, stories, unclassified documents.
Everyone knows what CIA did, from black community to left wing and regular people in the USA, and everyone in the rest of the world.
We know, that this type of agencies, no matter is it from USA, China, Russia, Europe, or any other place, will do very shitty things, to gain political or economic power. And it’s some sort of normal for this type of organizations. Not normal is thinking that police is here to protect regular people, or the government agencies are here to protect your freedom. Read the history book, most of this type of agencies, was formed to
a) invigilate and ruin workers/revolutionaries/rebel fronts, b) to direct arrest, and remove opponents of whoever is in power.
The same story all over the world.
While east civilization is kept under oligarchs and imperialistic assholes pretending to be “socjalist”, exploited people in the east are pretending to be happy, that working class in the west will be in the same shit very soon?
Not nice :\
We should work together against imperialism, oligarchs, and exploitation.
It will not collapse. Look on other authoritarian regimes rilled by oligarchs.
Russia, North Korea, china, an do on. Today’s invigilation methods, cameras everywhere, paid influencers, tons of agents in a potential rebellious organizations, lack of free media… In Ttese countries opposition is in a way worst situation, exploitation, lack of free media, independent courts… and there is no revolution or collapse.
Probably there will be more politic prisoners in the USA, more uniforms, attack on independent media, organizations. If these collapse, USA is fucked.
USA slowly changing into country like Russia, Izrael or China.
It was easy to predict that giving all the power to small group of oligarchs will end up like that. What’s next, complete removal of independent media or no more elections.
USA is not a democracy, two party system and oligarchs did it, techno feudalism it’s the future.

Basically every single economist who was not far far right wing/liberal, said that giving all the power to the small group of people, and removing society control over economy will fail, and it will create ultra wealth class, people without any morals, any empathy towards rest of the people. You don’t have to be a anarchist, socialist, communist, also people like Adam Smith, wrote the same thing.
From what i know, only very radical groups like Chicago Boys, promoted the model that we have right now.
It’s like with climate change. Every specialist, every one who knows the basics, is saying that you cannot pollute the world so much, and pretend that humans are not killing the ecosystem.
How in a hell you get the idea, that meme about white imperialism is about one specific country, like USA, not other imperialistic states like Russia or Israel? You know, that russia and Israel are also mostly white?
