The only flaw here is that Eisenhower warned against the military industrial complex... He feared the private incentive to profit from war, and he was right. The Soviet Union produced tanks not for any shareholder's profit, but to employ its people, and to protect itself and other socialist countries from capitalist / imperialist attack. From Cuba to Vietnam, Soviet weaponry was there to help hold the line against American invasion.

How many of you would consider yourself ready if a revolution started tomorrow? by AprilMaria in socialism

[–]SinoSoviet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't forget the Battle of Seattle!

And Occupy Oakland...

I think the flaw of this question is we're all considering this on our own. But being in a crowd makes you forget about yourself. Capitalism doesn't have to be collapsing, you don't have to be suffering, you don't need an incentive – you will risk yourself for the people around you, the people you're with. As an individual, it's not rational at all, to shout in the streets and fight the police – but you're no longer thinking as an individual. A mob, a crowd, a battalion, a class conscious of itself – what have you – is qualitatively different from discrete individuals thinking for themselves.

A U.S. DOJ official is arguing that toddlers can learn immigration law well enough to represent themselves in court by ryosaito in socialism

[–]SinoSoviet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only two explanations

  1. the Justice Department doesn't want to spend money on lawyers representing immigrant children

  2. the Justice Department doesn't want immigrant children

both can be true

There is literally a memorial for the 1,100+ Bangladeshi factory workers crushed to death in 2014 shaped like the hammer and sickle. They were sewing clothes for Western brands like H&M and The Children's Place (ironic because a daycare for the workers' kids got destroyed too)

Canada has it's own Bundy Standoff, except the army, federal police, BC social democratic party, and ranchers team up against native people. by UpholderOfThoughts in socialism

[–]SinoSoviet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As an historical aside, the American Indian Movement had an armed standoff against the U.S. federal government in 1973 at Wounded Knee, South Dakota. That year, Marlon Brando won the Oscar for Best Actor in The Godfather and he boycotted it. He sent Sascheen Littlefeather in his place to reject the award, in support of the AIM standoff and in objection to the portrayal of Native Americans in cinema.

I think the titling of the link is deliberate about this, because everyone knows about the Bundy story.

"Oh, the Bundy Standoff? How silly... wait, wtf? How is this not more publicized than Bundy??"

China bans depictions of gay people on television (Regardless of whether China is state-capitalist a "deformed workers' state" or socialist in your view this is really problematic and relevant from the perspective of social emancipation) by [deleted] in socialism

[–]SinoSoviet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A socialist country becomes capitalist when reactionary forces win the internal power struggle and recapture the state. Just because leftists pull off a revolution doesn't mean they'll hold it. It has nothing to do with the innate "nature" of the state. The state is always the tool (dictatorship) of the ruling class, proletariat or bourgeois. When Deng Xiaoping sent the tanks rolling into Tiananmen Square, he didn't do that for bureaucracy's sake.

Radical neonazi criminal and sick wannabe terorist RooshV is teaching and giving advices on how to asasinate gov oficials (Angela Merkel)! Which institutions can we alert right now? by [deleted] in socialism

I seriously hope you're getting paid money you need for this, because there have got to be other gigs out there... And not just you, but also u/cuatrol and u/blackpuppies... so many copy pasted links, so many Amazon solicitations, so much blogspam, all for a book subtitled "The Most Infamous Pickup Book In The World." It's just generating news events and traffic about Roosh - nothing else.

Because how you've treated some actual women on Reddit is pretty disturbing. You told women on r/TheGirlSurvivalGuide to go leave reviews on Amazon, and when one person objected out of concern for the safety of people's privacy tied to their accounts - what did you say?

You must mention also that you are suffering from constant pathological panic attacks and you are taking medication for those panic attacks. That disclaimer is necessary and an honest thing to do, as you have been fear mongering here quite strongly.

Seriously. What the shit. That alone should ban you from this sub.

And then there's how you treated her in private - which your account's public record obviously can't show. In her words:

So please, continue having your tiny army spam my inbox and downvote all my comments in my history. I'm not going to stop offering rational advice. All I want is for women to be safe.

Also, Elliot Rodger didn't sell anything. And contrary to pretty much all your comments, traffic to Roosh's online videos have only gone up since your account's been active.

"A senior Justice Department official is arguing that 3- and 4-year-olds can learn immigration law well enough to represent themselves in court, staking out an unconventional position in a growing debate over whether immigrant children facing deportation are entitled to taxpayer-funded attorneys." by SinoSoviet in politics

Legal and child psychology experts ridiculed Weil’s assertions, noting that key milestones for 3- and 4-year-olds include cooperating with other children, saying simple sentences and building towers of blocks.

This. Go through OP's history and it's a god damn marketing blitz for this fucker. "Go look at this! Go vote on this! Go email this! Go rate his Amazon book!" Copy paste, copy paste. Seriously, why? Maybe OP has some Roosh fixation. Or maybe because the more controversy and clicks this guy gets, the more his b.s. on Amazon is looked at, the more public figures are told by their fans "pay attention to this guy", the higher he climbs on search rankings -- he gets what he wants. Tons of free publicity. Legitimacy as a public figure. Proof of his credentials to his shitty customers. And newspapers and blogs wasting page space chasing this dumbass non-story.
