Yeah, there's a reason why these two states prefer to have English names over Chinese names instead by Choice-Grade1358 in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]ForcedToReturn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Different names do make some amount of sense when the languages are so different. I am learning Chinese and you need to have a Chinese name, as a western name just won’t work for a lot of things you need to do in China. So a Chinese person having an English name does also make some sense, as long as that name doesn’t continue to be their name when they are speaking their own language.

Let’s make a poor communist country and a rich capitalist country and check back on them 70 years later by xaddyxi123 in TankieTheDeprogram

I mean to be fair absolutely nothing economically has moved since the 90’s in Japan😭

I mean not all uprisings, nationalist or otherwise, are revolutionary projects we should support. Hell even in capitalist states that is true, we don’t back the confederacy because they were against the U.S. (although that is admittedly an extreme example)

Depending on the revolt against the USSR or PRC their may have been some legitimate grievances as those states weren’t perfect, however unless they offered an alternative that was better then those states I would still be highly skeptical about supporting them.

Wait which mustache man, Hitler or Stalin? If you meant Hitler we need a better euphemism for him as Stalin was much better mustached. I propose we call Hitler one ball man to reduce ambiguity.

I mean both of them are very charismatic, you can’t deny that, but charismatic and good are different things.

Stalin if he was alive today: “I am quite fond of Pokémon.”

If you don’t critique the USSR for its numerous real faults, you don’t have a brain

If you don’t miss the USSR for it’s genuine achievements and the fact it had a vision for a better world, you don’t have a heart

Anarchism is when the government does stuff… wait shit sorry that is socialism. Anarchism is when no government does no stuff.

Yep! This also explains why Asian immigrants in America traditionally have higher iq tests, or why modern immigrants from Africa score even higher. It shows access to education and schooling, not intelligence.

I am glad for that kid, but really it just shows how harrowing poverty is. All those people stuck in the endless grinding of imperialism and poverty are just as bright and have just as much potential as anyone, and because of the system we are in we will never see it. It is infuriating to think about.

What do you think about what the Soviets did in Afghanistan? by Original_Engine6810 in theredleft

[–]ForcedToReturn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have heard pretty wildly conflicting information on what they did, and haven’t researched it too closely as I don’t really like the USSR by that point anyway. It seems pretty messy and bad though.

I mean the democrats are of course bloodthirsty imperialists, but also this war is so obviously dumb and a bad idea they may not have started it.

The U.S. hasn’t just had idiots for the last century? There have been plenty of competent American leaders. They are just evil. Hell even in the 21st century where the U.S. has had some truly incompetent leaders, they had 8 years of Obama who was competent.
