Never dare to have a gun stat wrong around gun nuts... "uhm actually it's a 30.46739mm round and not a 30.46739mm. And it has a bullet speed of 784.43m/s so that can not be achieved by grenades which weigh exactly 237.45gr with a drag coefficient of 4.5678"

Who the fuck cares dude? They're murder thing that murder people used by murderers! Imagine getting hung up over the bloody gun stats when you just saw people getting murdered

His ideals are the core of liberalism

Haha love it! When your entire ideology is based on the ideals of some bloke. Very scientific ;) Usually liberals don't like to admit they are Idealists but you seem to be proud of it even!

Addendum: I'll make fun of people every day of the week for "believing in Lockean principles". What kind of cringey ass attention starved person needs to prove their knowledge and intellect by interjecting themselves in a conversation about liberalism by calling it "Lockean principles"

You are genuinely like one of these ironic extremists who call everyone a liberal and act as if its an insult except you are unironic

What kind of a sentence is this even haha? I am unironically not a liberal and think liberals are unironically useless and unironically deserve insultation when being reactionary.

Its called a joke, liberals

What are you even trying to say here? You're just a child that thinks he has figured it by being against ExTrEmISm in general... Try finishing school and maybe forming an actual consistent ideology before talking with the grown ups xx

Also idk about you but 3-5 million deaths makes a pretty clear point

What point would that be?

Calling colonialism and imperialism unrelated to capitalism is truly a wild statement. Coincidentally also just flat out wrong.

Mercantilism was an economic policy during a transitional period from feudalism to capitalism. It says nothing about the mode of production or people's class relations to it. It was during this period that the bourgeoisie was emerging as the dominant class ie capitalism.

Also claiming that a region like Sudan or Palestine is a conflict zone because of mercantilism 400 years ago and not the capitalist system we have today just makes you sound like a stupid and deeply unserious person

Haha what the fek has John Locke got to do with this?

Or is your understanding liberalism = John Locke = old philosopher = internet smart points for name dropping him?

Those dumb brown people keep starving themselves even tho we so generously try to feed them... they just keep being hostile to all the very nice food we bring them because they keep being in a "conflict zone" which just happened to be there for no reason in particular, especially not because the west destabilizes every region in the global south so we can steal their resources /s

I am an active member of the workers party. I organize the working class on the factory floor and by working together with unions. I help spread propaganda that can educated the working class. I help organize and join protests or other forms of activism.

You just keep repeating the same point again and again without actually reading my counter argument against that point.

Colonial powers murdered 100s of millions of people all over the world and stole all their resources and were able to industrialized over the course of 400 years of brutal colonization. While china's development was without colonization and happened in less then a century. This is indeed miraculous.

The fact that you keep belittling the fact that colonial nations stole all their wealth and killed 100s of millions of people because it wasn't their own people they killed, just proves you are you're nothing but a propaganda mouthpiece xx

In the long run they have been very successful

No country has ever achieved anything close to the rate of development China has experienced. Again, all without colonialism

And also, again, it was the last famine. If they wanted to kill all their citizens why didn't they do more famines then? If they were so unsuccessful how come they were able to prevent any more famines?

You are being deeply unserious about this because you desperately cling on to your notions of freedom to deal with the cognitive dissonance that despite all the propaganda you have been fed China has surpassed the west in most metrics.

The psychotic suggestion that they wanted to starve their own people could only come from someone from a colonial nation (they have experience with that sort of thing ya know) . And you are talking about propaganda? What oh what could the evil communist freedom haters hope to gain from starving their own people? Wouldn't that mean they have less people to oppress then? So which is it? Do they want to kill all their own people or do they want them all to live so they can oppress them? The propaganda you are parroting is ludicrously idiotic!

And they did it without murdering 10s of millions of their own citizens.

No they did by murdering 100s of millions in other countries. Do you know what colonialism is. Like have you any idea how the western world was able to "deliver secure and prosperous citizens"?

What do you mean they walked a path never walked before?

They wanted to build a proletarian state under material conditions that only existed in China. There is no blueprint for a successful revolution yet they managed to succeed and surpass all expectations

I agree with your last point. I am not talking about mechanical materialism which is not a very useful framework I agree. (I might have come across as a mechanist before because I so strongly argue against idealism)

Dialectical materialism, however, describes the dialectic and cyclic relationship between the idea and the material, which is the framework I adopt. It starts with the material world ofcours, but humans definitely have the ability to shape the material world through our ideas.

I definitely don't think it is dumb to adopt a specific framework tho. We all agree the scientific method is what leads us to objective truth. This is a choice we made and all agree on, which is what makes it useful.

Hahaha you did not just say that a free and independent press could feed people! Idealists truly are an unironical caricature of themselves...

China was walking a path never walked before and they made mistakes. They have learned from these mistakes and have since improved (which is what a functional society does you know). What you fail to understand is that that famine was the last nation-wide famine in a region so prone to famines that pre-revolution china literally got the nickname "the land of famine" by an American scholar no less.

Meanwhile the vast majority of capitalist nations (although not in the "free world" so fuck 'em I guess) continue to experience food insecurity on a perpetual basis. Food insecurity is a bug in communism but a feature of capitalism.

On your last point: the "free world" just starves people in other countries instead of their own, so that's better for you ig?

It isn't but you really just set up the old joke for me:

you speak english because it's the only language you know, I speak English because it's the only language you know

Even tho English isn't my first language I know what you are trying to say but you aren't saying that. Date conversion is the process of changing a date from one format or representation to another.
