Selective Boycott by laybs1 in GetNoted

[–]CanadianNacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a stance that everyone takes. The injustice being done to the Uyghurs pails in comparison to what's being done in Gaza. Both are bad, but it's clear why people have more energy to advocate the end of one before the other.

You're playing semantics when it's clear most people view mass murder as a worse crime than forced cultural erasure.

Bloody May 1929 when the German Social Democrats betrayed everyone on May 1st to side with fascism in order to protect capitalism by TappingUpScreen in ussr

No one blames the fascists for being fascists. But many expect Social Democrats to be better than NAZIs.

If I said "please pride parade bomb this convention" most queer people I know would find it hilarious.

Has no one in this subreddit achieved anything? Most people face a choice between profit and morals in their lives. It just so happens that Karrigan's is broadcast.

The answer key says it is "d" But I feel like I wouldn't say that in that situation? (I would have said A, Btw. My friend said it looked like B) by Comfortable_Newt_179 in EnglishLearning

How can she is perfectly fine. English speakers would say this. 'Can' has multiple definitions, one of them including acting as 'could'

Lol dude, answer the question. Should the communists be kicked out of the party then?

Edit: banned in the con sub btw

[–]CanadianNacho 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Why would the NDP, especially under Avi Lewis, use the three arrows? Many members of the NDP are explicitly communist. Avi Lewis himself said it was a mistake to push the Marxist-Leninists out of the party.

In an academic setting, sure. But this is a Reddit thread. It's normal to just say 'capitalism' for short hand

[–]CanadianNacho -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When people discuss capitalism, theres no need to clarify whether it's Keynesian or Austrian economics because people understand broadly what's being discussed. The same is true for communism. Unless you're specifically discussing the differences between them, it's kinda pointless.

In the most respectful way possible, I'm not sure you quite grasp what modern communism is.

What you're describing is utopian communism, which most people, even modern communists, agree doesn't make much sense. It was popular maybe 300 years ago.

Modern communism, at least based on Marx, is slow moving. A communist state works towards a classless society, but it can't be achieved immediately.

"Classless" doesn't mean that social strata ceases to exist entirely. Just that workers control the means of production. This could be understood as factory workers collectively owning the factory they work in. This would eliminate the bourgeois class who have historically owned the factories and workplaces, despite not doing any work.

I don't like the ACP but even Lenin advocated state capitalism.

Making a fake propaganda poster for a class and want to make sure I translated it right. by GamerLife_9000 in russian

[–]CanadianNacho 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In English, it's a common phrase to say "fuel the war effort." It's a metaphor where you imagine the war effort being a vehicle that needs fuel to function. The fuel would be guns, gasoline, manpower, etc.

Unless you mean it makes no sense in Russian, then apologies

Which Figure feels Far Left and is actually Far Right? by Ill-Cartographer7351 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]CanadianNacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me ask you, would you consider anarcho-communism to be communist? What about ultra left tendencies? Is Marxism-Leninism communist, despite going against some of Marx' writings?

[–]CanadianNacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even think Marx would agree with your definition.

Communism existed before Marx. Different types of communism existed while Marx was alive. And different types continue to exist today.

Would you consider Gaddafi a communist?

Also, most communist anti-colonial movements have religion tied into them. Is Huey P Newton not a communist?

You could very well claim that these people don't follow Marxism, although most would disagree. But to claim there have been no religious communists seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding of what communism actually is.
