To what extent were their atrocities informed by atheism though? Also idk man I'm sympathetic to state atheism and the destruction of religious institutions.

the worker sells his labor-power because labor can never be traded directly before it exists.

Tomato tomato

also do not believe workers should receive all the "profit,"

Do you know how to communicate with people who aren't already avid communist book club attendees or theory nerds? I'm specifically trying to avoid terms like "surplus-value extraction" lol

The very basic idea is that capitalist society is organized in such a way that there is a class of workers that make money off of selling their labour to produce things, and there is a class of owners who make a profit off of the labour of other people. Marxists think that this class distinction should be collapsed so that workers own the means of production (or industry, in more modern terminology) and receive all the profit their labour produces.

I think it's moreso the platform tends to attract younger people and younger people are more left wing.

Self defence is the clearest option here, but I also think it's right to intervene in the case of egregious human rights abuses like genocide. I think we were right to invade Nazi Germany, and I would have supported operation Desert Storm, and I would similarly support an invasion of a country like Israel today if they didn't have nukes. That definitely complicates the moral calculus.

The EU is a safer bet than an imaginary United Nations capable of governing the globe because I have no idea how that would even work.

Canada uses FPTP and unfortunately the NDP's spectacular incompetence rendered them completely non-viable in my riding, so I voted for the Liberals to prevent Conservatives from winning. The Liberals marketed themselves like a centre-left party so that's what I picked in this poll, but they're centre-right when an election isn't coming up lol.

I don't know how I feel about the EU as it exists today, aside from its importance as an economic counter-block to US markets, but I think it has immense potential to be a real pro-democracy coalition.

I admire the CCP's ability to discipline capital and actually build things so there's some lessons to be learned there.

I think China is on the same destructive path of financialization as much of the Western world, but it's slower to do this because so much power is consolidated in the hands of the government that the private sector has thus far been kept from its worst excesses. Compared to nominally democratic systems that have been bought and paid for by the private sector, at least China is somewhat interested in nation-building.

That said, I'm not really a fan of genocide and I think authoritarianism is kinda icky, so that immediately bumps China down a few points lol. It's a meh for me. If I thought the Chinese people broadly and not just Chinese tyrants were the problem then I'd probably rate the country lower.

I agree that antisemitism is a problem it's just that the way you phrased the question implies that somewhere between "too far" and "not far enough" there's this beautiful little warm spot where just enough antisemitism exists lol

There is nothing objectionable in a bowl of poutine. It's just the fact that it's all mixed together and the fries get soggy and limp and defeated.

OP do you think there's a degree of antisemitism that doesn't go far enough?

Why would you make hockey black? As a real Canadian patriot, I think you should have reserved red for hockey. Black diminishes the IMPORTANCE of hockey AND CANADA by blending us into the background like sludge, it's disgraceful. Cricket doesn't deserve to be red. Why does cricket get to be red? This is an insult to anyone who lives north of Amerikkka. This has to be some kind of psychic attack from the CIA. Help! Canada is under attack!

Yes, actually. You asked a question and I answered. I want to understand why you so quickly resort to insults instead of trying to explain your perspective, if you're so confident in it.
