I mean obviously if socialism didn't want a US backed coup they wouldn't dress like that.....

And they wonder why we get all these migrants at our southern border. Maybe if they hadn't destabilized the entire region to the south people wouldn't be trying to escape those places.

It's shocking to me that people aren't able to connect the dots here.

I don't always agree with everything you post, but this is >100% on point.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 31 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It'd be boring here if we all agreed on everything. Disagreement is how we learn from each other. :)

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Agreed again. Keep fighting the good fight friend

I think about this every time some centrist claims that no leftist system has ever worked.

[–] Traister101@lemmy.today 12 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I mean the big ones people like to point at (Rushia and fucking Nazi Germany) sure as shit weren't doing communism or socialism

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social 29 points 8 months ago (5 children)

I don't think anyone points at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system. They were literally fascist lol

I've seen many idiots do that unfortunately

[–] DoctorSpocktopus@lemmy.ca 16 points 8 months ago (2 children)

There are definitely some folks that see “National Socialism” as the party name and look no further. Fortunately, I don’t think it’s a strong majority, but they pop up online.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oof I feel concerned about those people.

I guess it's similar to "an" caps.

The Intersection is indeed a very high degree.

It would be funny if there weren't people suffering and dying because of it

Reminder that there's a bird called titmouse

Both Crowder and Shapiro have claimed this. They point out that the Nazi party was the 'National Socialist German workers' party' and claim that's enough for it to be socialist, and then also claim Russia is a communist country.

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Crowder and Shapiro are complete idiots.

[–] pingveno@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago

Idiots? On the right? Arguing in bad faith? You don't say...

[–] JayDee@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Correct. They are both idiots who pointed at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system.

[–] Traister101@lemmy.today -4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's always as a "See!! Socialism bad!!" but yep they were literally fascist, Rushia too and yet here we are with people still thinking communist Rushia was communist.

Jewish holocaust scholars don't like it when you call the USSR fascist

Not sure if alternative spelling or if your autocorrect really likes controversial vtuber Uruha Rushia.

[–] Traister101@lemmy.today 3 points 8 months ago

Ah shit. Guess you can tell what kinda stuff I like watching

[–] ohitsbreadley@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Even the DDR wasn't doing socialism. The public had to be all-in the idea, or they were discredited or arrested. It was an authoritarian autocracy acting in the name of socialism.

"Communism never works out"

I fucking wonder why!

I don't think this meme format could ever die.
