So, what you're actually saying you'd rather live under capitalism because it's not impacting your freedom
that's wrong, I belive that I have more freedom in (unregulated) capitalism that's not state backed, than in a one party system without democratic principles
and you don't care about others.
that's not true, I want others to be as free as I am
Meanwhile, claiming that western Germany was economically stronger than the USSR is another example of you being divorced from reality.
you're literally making this up, I sayed that western germany was ALMOST as economicaly strong as the entire ussr, which is true
It's the same sort of logic people applied to modern Russia comparing its GDP to Italy. Now, it turns out Russian industrial production is higher than all of the west combined.
first source I found: https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Russia/United-States/Industry
this says something completely different
This is how capitalism rots people brains, they start thinking imaginary numbers are more important than material reality.
so at first: you were wrong, but you also were double wrong, because even if russia did produce more than the US there's still the question of what to be made and for whom, russia probably produces more war assets rn, and that isn't necessarily a good thing, since they now can produce less of stuff the people actually need (that statement itself wouldn't be true if the russian economy was growing and they were exporting their war assets, but the opposite is the case, they produce the war assets to burn them on the battlefield and their economy also isn't looking good)
here, read the chapter criticism and tell me everything I'm wrong about https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-African_relations
ok, why did I expect an actual argunent?
Let's imagine China arming and supporting Mexico's opposition parties that align with China.
if that happend I'd support mexico in it's efforts to ally itself with china (if that's what the mexican people want)
U.S would go into a fit and invade Mexico instantly. Same has been happening in Ukraine for a decade before the war started.
you're just proving my point here, Russia is just as bad as the US
You need to also take in account that Russia has been invaded countless times from western powers.
russia in it's current form hasn't been invaded, except if you count ukraine, but russia invaded ukraine first
Russia's geography is also mostly flat plains, making it easy to invade Moscow from the west. Historical context need to be taken to account.
so I can shoot someone because they have an advantage and COULD hurt me?
how's that a cope? I'm against the US and china
lol, china does the same imperialist shit in africa that the west does
and for what belive have you been banned there?
no, I know what a vanguard party is and that I don't support it, now we're arguing about why I don't support it
oh, yes I belive it is, why else is russia invading ukraine?
if I had to choose I'd rather end all hirarchy
no, I just think that freedom is more important than defeating capitalism
I'd rather take my hrt, guns and free speech over a vanguard, sorry
also see how it has worked in russia, how the soviet union has defeated capitalism and how capitalist western germany was almost economically stronger than the entire ussr (including eastern germany)
I actually belive the state in its current form to be a tool of economical, personal and class opression
and I belive no state can exist without at least 2 of the above, but I want none of the above
so you are not a vanguardist?
or am I wrong about vanguardism being bad?
please elaborate
don't really think so, I've seen pretty much any form of leftists over there, tho they will disagree with you regarding genocide acusations in china
I don't disagree that the us is imperialist, I'm just saying that it's also imperialist to invade your neighbors to restore the russian empires western border and increase your sphere of influence
I don't like the state and like the idea of a vanguard party even less and I belive that user to be vanguardist
if you're looking for an instance that won't ban you based on your political belives check out lemmy.blahaj.zone
EDIT: not entirely true, you actually have to belive in basic human rights to be part of this community
never seen an anarchist on hexbear tbh, but I've been alwaus banned pretty fast for stating my opinions on the state and the ukraine war
just like vanguardism
