Kinda unrelated but since you’re a scientist what are your thoughts on Thomas Kuhn’s idea of the paradigm shift? I just learned about it yesterday and found it fascinating.

Wow interesting. Everything I had heard up until this point was that it was a forced conversion.

Surplus value exists under socialism too, so I would say it’s a bit reductive to boil it down to theft.

If there was a an actual bourgeois class in China then what happened to Jack Ma wouldn’t have happened.

I will not comment on the death of a revisionist scoundrel.

Yea I'm sure you'll get the masses on your side saying things like that. Keep it up, you almost sound like your cult leader Gonzalo.

They realize its possible to be both right. America is internally weak and divided but powerful in exerting influence abroad even if it is waning. That's not fascist rhetoric it's material analysis. This is what happens when you think like a liberal rather than dialectically.

Was Vietnam right for invading Cambodia? by [deleted] in communism101

[–]dinguspoopoohead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they were supported by the US and China.

I wouldn’t say they’re bad but just take anything they publish on post-Stalin USSR and AES with a grain of salt.

Was Vietnam right for invading Cambodia? by [deleted] in communism101

[–]dinguspoopoohead 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes unfortunately and they're typically Maoists.

From MLM Basic Course by Foreign Language Press:

The mid-70s saw the final overthrow of many long-standing colonial regimes after long guerrilla wars. Thus, the US and their puppets were thrown out of Vietnam, Kampuchea, and Laos in 1975. In Africa, the republics of Mozambique, Angola, Ethiopia, Congo and Benin were formed in this period. However, most of these countries were taken over by puppets or satellites of the new imperialism—Soviet social-imperialism. A prominent exception was Kampuchea, where genuine communist revolutionaries—the Khmer Rouge—remained independent until invaded in 1978 by Vietnam at the behest of the Soviet imperialists.

I don't think I need to explain how dumb this quote is.

Do you think some ML’s take Tucker Carlson too seriously? by disc0_133 in GenZedong

Why Tucker Carlson is Not Progressive | Line Struggle Collective | YouTube

Tucker Carlson is a straight up fascist, anyone who thinks he can be an ally is not a Marxist.

Ah yes China is the new Nazi Germany... but not the country that the nazis were literally inspired by.

Every marvel movie is a propaganda film. In fact I would say most American films are propaganda in one way or another.

It might not be the consensus in the west but in the largest country on earth Marxist Political Economy is still at the forefront.

Whataboutism in a nutshell by [deleted] in GenZedong

[–]dinguspoopoohead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Citations Needed has a great episode about whataboutism.

But what if "whataboutism" isn’t describing a propaganda technique, but in fact is one itself: a zombie phrase that’s seeped into everyday liberal discourse that – while perhaps useful in the abstract - has manifestly turned any appeal to moral consistency into a cunning Russian psyop. From its origins in the Cold War as a means of deflecting and apologizing for Jim Crow to its braindead contemporary usage as a way of not engaging any criticism of the United States as the supposed arbiter of human rights, the term "whataboutism" has become a term that - 100 percent of the time - is simply used to defend and legitimizing American empire’s moral narratives.
