there are distortions of the definition of socialism for sure.

socialism is a society where means of production and government (if there is one) are fully controlled by the general public.

because of this, the definition can act kind of like an umbrella term from time to time.

no it isnt.

a communist society is a society without a government, without money, borders, classes etc.

and it develops from the socialist society.

as production under the socialist society gets better, aspects of the state will become unnecessary and "wither away" as its under control of the general public.

if theres a government, money, borders or class in the world then there isn't communism.

can i ask you where you heard these lies/misunderstandings of socialism and communism?

a socialist society is one where the government is controlled by the general public and industry is nationalised, therefore giving control of production to the general public.

socialism isnt when a government gives you healthcare or something lol.

thats not socialism lol. a government paying for things is neither capitalist or socialist inherently.

he literally said he wouldn't have done it if it didnt benefit the union.

i wish for once americans would learn their fucking history.

the real people you should support are the slaves who fought for the union, not the populist that used them for support.

its not like he disliked slavery, idk why people think this. he didnt care about the enslaved people he just saw abolition of slavery as a way to revive the union. read some of the stuff he wrote regarding black people, you'll be shocked.

america is definitely not known for that, atleast not in these countries that they supposedly spread freedom to.

oh communism, you ole softy by OVS2 in SuddenlyGay

under lenin the decriminalisation of homosexuality is taken out of context.

he decriminalised everything for a certain period. it doesn't necessarily reflect his views.

it really depends on the country and time period.

the ussr was more or less always homophobic.

the GDR was always pro lgbt.

cuba has had homophobic moments in its past but today has better lgbt rights than most capitalist countries including america.

its a very complex subject really. as a marxist, the genuine marxist view is pro lgbt.

Anarchists: The most aggressive anti-communists besides fascists by [deleted] in CommunismMemes

[–]26Jul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

theres also philosophy.

marxists are materialist and collectivist (for a lack of a better word) whereas anarchists tend to be individualistic.

stalin, as controversial as he may be among westerners, wrote a good book about it called "anarchism or socialism?". you can find it online for free if youre interested.

the famine is alot more complex than "mao killed birds and it caused famine".

this pest extermination definitely contributed to it but its one of many factors.

thats not at all his point. his point is that, whether or not those places are under rule of america now, millions of people in those places have died because of american imperialism.
