The near future? Yes. Absolutely. The have the best economic and political system so far, and are now building out their military to step into the role of hegemon.

The far future?

Assuming China can crack down on global coal and oil usage and figure out climate change, they’ll be paving the way for communism in a couple of generations. If they can successfully solve these issues, crush the capitalist markets, and still maintain or lower their current level of corruption then communism is inevitable by 2100 at the latest.

This will be the last century of kings and ceos. Either the world ends due to climate change and capitalist greed, or humanity prevails through communism. There isn’t another option left.

You have to be together to be divided. I don’t consider the people that have caused or enabled all of the suffering in the US to be united with the working class, personally.

Before 2017 sure.

They try to be anarchists but they’re mostly from western countries so they have permanent programming they refuse to shake off (i.e. calling anyone that doesn’t think eurocentric anarchism is the only real left wing ideology a tankie.). Compared to .world’s Hillary Clinton though they’re like Marx.

It has them there tankie writing on the meme, I don’t think blahaj will appreciate it.

Go to lemmy world. Any political comm. Or check in on reddit.

Since we’re not in a .world comm, there were just a lot of fucking Nazis. The US has always been significantly further right wing than it’s contemporary nations, at least since the 1800s, but since the 1920s it basically accelerated to light speed. Every minor progressive victory was a half century or more after other countries, and immediately hated by more than half the country; hence why so many rights in the US are tenuous scotus decisions and not laws.

The rest of the world after the 1950s has viewed you guys as the next Nazis. Hell even in WW2 you were only the good guys by comparison, and even then the Soviets were the protagonists of that era with all their flaws.

Only very recently and only in aesthetics has the US really made any strides, and because you chose aesthetics over legislation that progress was easy to destroy. You had a far right wing black president people called progressive because of the color of his skin, you ‘legalized’ gay marriage without legislation, you had all other companies doing rainbow capitalism to show how open and progressive your society was, despite having the highest wealth inequality in the world – and that’s no easy feat, North Korea exists.

The fall of the US to fascism was inevitable, because both the ruling class and the majority populous has always fully supported fascism, they just hate the aesthetics.

Anarchists tend to be smart enough to not use the word tankie.

There are exceptions of course.

Right, so if I get a copy of your birth certificate, walk in front of your house after saying you shouldn’t exist, and burn your birth certificate you’re completely okay and wouldn’t think it’s a threat against you, right?

If I say ‘i hate (insert your race)’, and get material that is commonly associated with your local race and culture, and set it on fire in your front yard, you have no problems, right?

So the KKK did nothing wrong, according to your logic.

I’m not saying you really believe that, only a literal bigot would, but that’s what you’re arguing in order to justify your anti Muslim or anti religious hatred.

No, but you have a long history of claiming people on a website with a peak 40k user base are all bots and paid shills.

So I’m not every account you’ve ever talked to. There’s not a global conspiracy targeting you. It’s good you can still admit that in your paranoia.

…it’s not a part of the discussion. Do keep up if you’re going to weigh in. I know English sucks, and it really does, but it’s the easiest language to learn the basics of for a reason

If you legitimately think everyone that disagrees with you, over half the planets population, are all paid trolls or bots… Well it’s just terrible your country has no mental healthcare you can access without going broke and losing your job.

I sincerely hope you join the world in the 21st century soon. It has to be awful living in the 1950s.

The US’ attempt at a color revolution by stealing military weapons and using them to massacre civilians is taught in school, and the many problems that caused some members of the uighur people to visit Afghanistan and come back attempting terrorist actions, as well as the subsequent investment in Xinjiang that has since eliminated the crushing poverty that caused those desperate people to turn to fundamentalist terrorism is also widely and publicly known.

When the US stops thinking their version of reality is correct when they famously run the world’s largest and most prolific ministry of truth, then we can talk about censorship. Until then you people are too brainwashed to interact with the majority of the world.

I hope you guys get democracy soon.

It’s less “we will never get rich”, which is objectively incorrect given China is part of BRICS and was rich long before brics was created, and more, “why the fuck is less than 8% of the world entitled to the wealth of over 60%?”

That’s not a common interpretation of those words in that order, which would be fantastic if there were a competition for most unique and obtuse construing of sentences; however whether or not such a contest exists, this isn’t a part of it.

Most people don’t live in the 1950s, given its now the 2020s. I get your society hasn’t advanced in that time, China has.

Oops, opium wars backfired a bit didn’t it?

If you think nonviolence is core to the left wing, you need to go ahead and find a nice subreddit to join. Liberals aren’t left wing.

In a world United against the US, there’s no war the US can wage effectively. There’s only so much power you can project from aircraft carriers, and nukes are essentially off the table.

BRICS was also designed for exactly this scenario; a rogue US finally showing its whole ass to the world. They’ll survive regardless of what the US tries, whether it’s sanctions, tariffs or invasions.

…what does the state have to do with it? Fundamentalist Christians in the US burned books without state power. Nazis regularly encourage book burning and they haven’t had state power in a few decades.

This Nazi, for instance, did not have state power behind him. Just a group of sycophants encouraging his antics.

If you’re on the side of a book burning Nazi nut job, you’re the bad guy.
