Yes, quite literally. They understand what’s at stake for society as well or better than anyone on the planet right now.
Really? More than jewish holocaust survivors and their descendents? Get a fucking grip.
It is embarrassing that anyone upvoted this nonsense.
They’re also a good example of how deradicalization efforts can be effective, not perfect but effective as reestablishing a modern liberal democracy.
Are you living in the reality where Germany doesn’t have a far right extremism problem, and where denazification was actually successful?
Gaza will need something other than what they currently have for an education system if they are to develop into anything other than a terrorist enclave.
Yes, radicalization happens because of bad education, and not because Israel keeps stealing their land and killing them.
They provide the materials, the tools and machinery, the designs that are being made (assuming some sort of manufacturing company for this example).
Other workers made the materials, the tools, the machinery, and the designs. If the owner did they occupy a class position as a worker and owner.
They also carry the risk (unless of course they are a corporation, the ridiculous entity created to reap the advantages of personhood while avoiding all its responsibilities and drawbacks).
The risk that they might be a worker if their venture fails.
Literally none of your sources definitively claim it was a genocide except the university of Minnesota one which cites Davies and Applebaum who later says it wasn’t.
Also lol, you use Wikipedia, a random university of Minnesota webpage, KellogInsight, and I dont even know where you got your last source but it literally cites Wheatcroft and Davies amongst others who do not argue it was a genocide after examining the soviet archives.
Gonna tell me how the Holocaust was a lie too?
No, the holocaust is a well documented historical fact, unlike the holodomor. The soviet wide famine of 1932 and 33 is a well documented historical fact, it is also not considered a genocide by mainstream anticommunist historians, who argue to what extent soviet policies and which policies worsened the famine.
Also ironic that you ask “do you also deny the holocaust” given the holodomor myth was used as justification to kill Jewish people during the holocaust and was later used as justification for collaboration with the holocaust.
Here is a well respected Jewish historian and activist on it:
It is always an investment that requires work to be put into it, but you doing the work isn’t an inherent component, you can always pay someone to do it for you.
Just rephrasing what you said in a way I think you’d agree with to repeat the point that it is always an investment.
Yeah, youre a member of the rentier class, not the capitalist class.
The critique is actually different for rentierism vs capitalism, even most capitalist economicists hate rentierism. You’re collectively a parasitic class even to the capitalists because you increase their operating costs indirectly for no benefit. Earnestly no offense, as class analysis is about understanding structures, not moralizing.
You still benefit from extractivist class dynamics. Unless you’re going to be in the red even after selling the properties you own, even if you’re charging so low that you lose money in the short term. But I’m guessing that on aggregate over time you’re gaining money in the short term.
I mean yeah, depicting people as monkeys is generally rooted pretty explicitly in racism, and even white eastern europeans have been subject to racism from western Europe. Read what Emma Goldman wrote about that “conniving slanty eyed Asian”(paraphrased) Stalin.
Or you can stop crying yourself a river, roll up your sleeves, and get to work on doing something about it. To make the best of you’ve got and work on improving the parts of life you aren’t satisfied with one step at a time with a relatively clear and focused end goal in mind.
Lol you’re using a statistical model that isnt capable of discerning meaning to try to disprove mainstream academics like Conquest and Wheatcroft.
ChatGPT isn’t designed to say correct things, it is designed to put a bunch of letters together that are in the general shape of an essay assignment for highschoolers. This is comical.
Please note that the last book it cites(which doesn’t exist, in fact I dont think any of the books cited actually exist) is credited to Robert Conquest, and he says that the ukrainian famine was not a genocide.
Mfw the liberals who acknowledge that the Republicans are fascists want only the fascists to have guns (if you think gun control will be enforced by fascist cops to disarm their fascist buddies you’ve got another thing coming)
Mfw liberals don’t acknowledge that mass shootings are caused by white supremacy, misogyny, and abuse culture in addition to guns because they don’t want to or are incapable of addressing white supremacy, misogyny, and abuse culture, but they are capable of pushing gun control (that doesn’t prevent mass shootings (see my first point) but does further criminalize poc, poor people, queer people, and women owning guns)
Mfw liberals have never heard of the mulford act and understood its political implications
Mfw liberals haven’t read any anti-colonial history or civil rights history, even basic stuff like “this nonviolent stuff will get you killed” which shows how an armed movement has been necessary for both violent and nonviolent liberatory movements
The best cure to liberalism is picking up a book on the history of liberation movements that isnt full of whitewashed US history class bullshit.
They in this case being the fucking nazis, who first came for the trans people, and then the communists, the socialists, the trade unionists, Jewish people, etc
Soviet socialism failed miserably (it turns out, it is very hard to plan an economy).
Did you actually check? Because based on a bunch of metrics I saw the USSR did pretty well compared to the feudalism that came before it and the capitalist “democracy” that came after its illegal and undemocratic dissolution.
