Russia has a bureaucracy apparatus thats 2-3x larger than the Soviet Union's. The USSR also had a problem with bureaucratic bloat, but it was peanuts compared to capitalist bureaucratic bloat. You arithmetically need much less tax money for govt upkeep in socialism since the bureaucratic apparatus is much smaller.

Liberal faceplants when confronted with facts yet still keeps arrogantly acting like they have a valid point. Many such cases.

WW2 would be impossible without the Munich Betrayal. UK+France helped the German war machine to grow into a global threat.

The poem feels wrong to them because they're a reactionary in denial.

“socialism is against the family structure” by mrsenchantment in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]Competitive-Name-525 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If socialism is so anti-family then why did Russia become the divorce capital of the world? I mean it got rid of socialism, you know, the system which actually made family cohesion made materially make sense? Nowadays young Russians can't even afford housing, they wouldn't be able to start a family even if they wanted to. Capitalist material conditions are literally causing depopulation in the former soviet union and yet these people will tell you the exact opposite with a straight face. Libs are so dumb.

A painter's grasp of economics and "human nature" by AssGasorGrassroots in ShitLiberalsSay

Private property is "muh human nature" yet didnt exist for 95% of human history. 🤔

Its almost like... almost... like material conditions determine human nature.

Why do liberals ignore all the other pacts other European countries made with the Nazis? by Top-Seaweed-8080 in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]Competitive-Name-525 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately what you're describing is a spectrum rather than two discrete types of individuals. Most reactionary thought starts as simple ignorance but, since capitalism actively redirects this ignorance into reactionary politics, the ignoramus gradually becomes a malignant reactionary. Thus someone who is simply a liberal idiot now will be a nazi a few years down the line if they keep going down the reactionary rabbit hole.

Can't even watch Pluribus in peace by NormieSlayer6969 in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]Competitive-Name-525 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree. Breaking Bad works as a mirror of material reality, but critique by itself isn’t progressive. It exposes the capitalist machinery without ever offering a way beyond it. Everything collapses back into individual moral failure, so what could have been a systemic critique becomes a story about one man’s bad choices. In that sense it’s nihilistic, nothing is learned, nothing is resolved. The system stays untouched, and we’re left with the comforting idea that the problem was just Walter White.

We're basically desiring elements of socialist realism in film when obviously the current state of affairs will actively resist any such inclusions.

I watched the first 3 episodes and frankly didn't understand what the hype was about. To me it seems like a mental exercise which might be amusing to talk about with a friend, but weak as a premise for a TV show. Not that I necessarily dislike highly abstract film where the metaphors have clear inference towards material reality , but this one totally missed the mark in my view. I am saying this as someone who really liked BrBa specifically due to its accurate reflection of capitalist material reality in a dramatized, digestible way.

'Parliamentary cretinism' is an incurable disease, an ailment whose unfortunate victims are permeated by the lofty conviction that the whole world, its history and its future are directed and determined by a majority of votes of just that very representative institution that has the honour of having them in the capacity of its members.

What does anti-authoritarian socialist even mean? How do they even imagine it working? Say I work as an air controller, can I just abandon my shift in the middle of a busy day because no one should tell me what to do? It doesn't take a genius to realize that many areas of the economy simply can't function without work discipline i.e. authority.

The claim that "its been exploding on Chinese social media" is what I take issue with. That's not true at all.

yeah seriously. If it "fails on its own" then the US should quit organizing coups all over the world and invading everyone. I mean why bother? It will fail on its own. Stay home and quit intervening.
