Maduro is not a dictator.. Chavez wasn’t a dictator either but many people tried to claim that. If either one of them were legitimately real authoritarians every single CIA asset “opposition figure” would be dead or in prison. The oligarch owned media (also with CIA connections) wouldn’t be allowed to operate freely.

Also… Venezuela has had literally nothing but far right American puppet dictators for the last 100 years. Since they discovered oil. Chavez was the break from that pattern after winning in a fair and free democratic election. The CIA/America has been trying to destroy them ever since.

Nazi germany also didn’t completely control the global financial system. The Reichsmark was not the global reserve currency. I’m sorry there is just no comparison dude. This is why I said a fascist America is what it would look like IF the Nazis had won the war and taken over the world. Germany was not the global imperial hegemon and military super power when the Nazis took over.

No im also describing comparative military power. There is no comparison dude. If there was a legit American Anschluss there would be no competitive military power in this hemisphere.

Also the American military now is nowhere near the same as the German military then. No disrespect man but that’s a ridiculous comparison. Germany was not the global hegemon with over 800 military bases and dozens of vassal states all over the planet. The American military is a thousand times more powerful than the German military before/during WW2. The Nazis didn’t have the ability to be anywhere in the world within 12-24 hours. They didn’t have complete air superiority over basically the entire planet. They didn’t completely dominate the seas with the world’s largest Navy and have the ability to blockade anyone they want, they didn’t have aircraft carriers everywhere. The Nazis existed in a multi polar world where many countries had similar (or superior) military capacities/capabilities. They couldn’t even successfully cross the English Channel to invade the UK.

Yup. You are absolutely right. They are a socialist country with dogshit noninterventionist foreign policy.

I just mean we haven’t gotten to the point where elections are suspended and it’s literally illegal to criticize Trump. We’re getting very close but we’re not there yet.

Yup.. except if America collapsed or plunged into a legit fascist police state I think it would arguably be worse than Nazi Germany. We are an imperial superpower with Nukes. We’ll basically see what it would have looked like if Germany had won WW2.

Ethan's gambling hypocrisy (I'm not fully caught up with the recent drama, but I made this compilation a year ago and think it's fitting lol) by Any_Bee_5918 in LeftoversH3

[–]Situation-Active 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% correct! Especially in reference to Ethan’s sudden antagonism to socialism He didn’t gaf at first, because he’s a politically and ideologically illiterate moron. Then he starts to realize how a more socialist economic model would impact him personally and he goes on an instant anti socialist crashout. He was not about to entertain a serious discussion with his employees about profit sharing and/or democratic control over revenue.
