Now watch as a commenter says communism doesn't work when every country that tried either lied about being communist, or was quickly hamstrung and dismantled by capitalist countries due to the perceived threat of communism "spreading" to said capitalist countries.
Don't "yes, and" or "yes, but" liberals/fascists. Communism DOES work. Every country that MLism has touched has radically improved by every metric.
And every capitalist country is far superior, what's your point?
Matter of fact, name one communist country that's better than a capitalist country. Take your time, it'll be a while.
either lied about being communist
Which ones do you mean?
That's because it's true lol
What countries are/ or were successful under communism? I don't understand the logic behind especially when under communist rule, people were secretly killed or made to disappear to silence their political ideologies.
Cuba has been extremely successful despite the US fucking them over for 60 years. They've sent doctors across the world and even offered to help the US after hurricanes. They also sent anti-imperialist soldiers to African nations to fight for liberation on another continent. Nelson Mandela once famously openly praised Castro and his government for always being there for black South Africans in their struggle to end apartheid. He did so in response to some ignorant dumbass asking why he liked Castro or something like that.
The USSR and China were/are extremely successful. USSR was undermined at every turn by the US and generally western capital, plus some collaboration internally to make very bad economic decisions (moving towards private markets). China... well, look at them. Results speak for themselves.
The DPRK was very successful even post that whole US genociding them ordeal. Under Kim Il-Sung through the 50s until the 90s and post-USSR collapse (a major trading partner) they outpaced the US-propped South Korean state in basically everything. All of this after the US had leveled, effectively, the entire country and placed genocidal sanctions on them. For simply wanting to be a true democracy, btw. There was never any "actual" justification for war in Korea. Well, there was certainly justification for a war to remove the southern puppet(s) but not the war hero Kim who was and is beloved by his people, Chinese people respect him for his personal efforts to help liberate them from Imperial Japanese rule, and he's still seen as a revolutionary hero today to people paying attention.
And killing or "disappearing" reactionaries is overstated by... reactionaries. But, for any amount that does happen, it's generally justified because you can't have an insurgent group of reactionaries, always foreign funded (by the US CIA...), actively undermining you. No government on earth can tolerate such shit. Go start a group with funding from China (good luck with this part) with the explicit goal of destroying whatever western hellscape you inhabit and see how long the government allows you to continue.
Yeah but we have little to no involvement now and those countries are worse.
What the hell did the US do to the USSR? 😂
Biden just increased sanctions on Cuba when he came into office.
But if you want a fucking list:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_sanctions
Does that look like “little to no involvement”?
So you're saying that if we so much as set foot in a failed communist country, the US is to blame? Even the ones that failed with no direct connection other than we were in its proximity? 😂
How about a list of current, successful communist countries. How's that so hard?! Oh yeah I know why... there aren't any (งツ)ว
Every country that goes Marxist Leninist radically improves their living standards, wages, democracy, technological development, ability to defend themselves from imperialism...what countries WEREN'T successful under communism?
The only reason you think otherwise is because you have bought into a narrative fed to you by the communists greatest enemy, the capitalists and fascists.
For starters, political repression is highly overstated by the capitalists and fascists. Why? Well, because those that endure political repression in communist countries are...capitalists and fascists.
Yeah but name one. Just one.
Cuba, Vietnam, China, the Soviet Union, and plenty more, but I have a feeling you don't know what you're talking about.
No I said successful 😂
Pretty sure the Soviet Union ain't around no more lol
Like can you at least read theory before posting reactionary shit?
What theory are you talking bout?
Like Marxx?
