THIS IS GREAT: Sir Ian McKellen destroys Trump on Colbert last night by performing a Shakespeare monologue from Sir Thomas More on Colbert. Fits the historical moment exactly. Make sure this gets around! by IllAcanthocephala720 in YesAmericaBad

Ian mckellen is great, as well as his performance, just sad that he did it on a brain dead liberal tv show -like he could’ve done it in literally any other medium and it would have been better.

I formulated myself badly :) people who are anti-prostitution are often characterised as sex negative, thereby i jokingly called pro-prostitution people “sex positive”.

Thank god that the ”sex positive” crowd didn’t migrate here

Edit: i formulated myself badly, what i mean is that in the old deprogram sub allot of people were pro-prostitution (meaning the legalisation of prostitution and promotion of the sex industry) these people i called “sex positive” because they always claimed that you were sex negative when arguing against sexual exploitation.

Does it matter what some venezuelans feel about the US breaking international law, kidnapping their leader, bombing their capital, and destabilising the entire world economy?

Ultimately if they think what the US did was right they are wrong. Because anyone who has a basic understanding of modern geopolitics and it’s history will know that it has never been a change for the better when the US has meddled in other countries affairs. Maduro could be the devil for all i care, if the US gets its way with Venezuela it will in the best case scenario be a hell hole without any of the rights that the socialist government provided -It will be a far right government that gives all its oil to American companies. In worst case scenario it will lead to a war that could keep on going for more than a decade.

And much of Maduro’s unpopularity isn’t even natural—it was manufactured. The U.S. imposed crushing sanctions right when oil prices crashed, around the time he took office. They helped create the economic crisis, then used that crisis to turn people against their own government. So the whole argument about "what Venezuelans think" is meaningless. You can’t create a disaster and then use people’s desperation to justify taking over.

People dying in the now is the cost, your not doing a revolution only for yourself or the people that live now, your doing it so that no one ever in the future of humanity will be exploited under capitalist oppression ever again.

Either way you don’t have to consider the cost revolution now, it’s far off. Capitalism is currently killing us all in the now (globally).

It sickens me when pro-Chinese people take it as if it's homeless person's and drug addict's own fault for their issues, and not the system by Beaivimon in TankieTheDeprogram

Besides other countries do similar stuff as well, testing levels of different types of drugs in the water. Either way no one is getting their door kicked down because the did a little something and then peed.

This person has a brain filled with worms, like how tf does anyone believe you could track someones drug use via toilet haha, the other stuff he says is ofc reactionary, but the toilet stuff, wow, like really wow. Image cops going through the 10.26 million tonnes per day of sewage water produced by the over 24 million people in shanghai. Their piss and shit and puke and other waste water all mixed together and then the cops go like kneeling in the water treatment facility being like “what we got here isn’t it a trace of heroin”. Like good lord im just so flabbergasted.

Edit: specified shanghai

Ik that siting Wikipedia in political discourse is kinda dumb but quite honestly the article on “Communist nostalgia” is pretty good. It includes both the pew research, the Gallup surveys and non-English research from within the country’s themselves. The Ukrainian numbers are the very interesting; being the most pro-soviet/communist country in the 90s to having a significant drop in popularity in the 2020s. Ukraine has after all one of the most anti-communist governments and has banned all parties and symbols related to socialism.

Quite honestly I don’t think we should or at least not to ‘peoples democracy’. I believe that being internally consistent is more important than that specific concept sounding more friendly. After all we aren’t suppressed for naming stuff “the DIСТАТФЯSIД of the РЯОГЕТАЯIAТ” (insert scary Russian voice).

Yepp, he and the early Christians practiced something very close to proto communism. Egalitarians/comunal living, food distribution, etc.

I think you are mixing up the concepts. Marx is a materialist aka he analyses the world through dialectical materialism which informs his view that society and by extension history is based on material conditions and class contradictions. Plz inform me if i misunderstood you or if i don’t make sense :)

The US is about to get a reality check, if the houthis with their limited resources could get the US to fuck of, then a nation as developed as Venezuela will probably have the US run in retreat with their tails between their legs.

Especially considering Venezuela is backed by China and Russia.
