Best line I've heard yet on the issue

Shit, Russia is communist? Why didn't the Central Committee send me the memo?

Nor should anyone forget how many deaths are enabled daily by the weapons Amerikkka supplies to Israhell

Nor should anyone forget the famous line from "Chapo Guide to Revolution" (paraphrasing from memory):

How much better off would the world have been if our response to 9/11 was to do absolutely nothing?

The capitalist level

Oftentimes, life just isn't fair.

Remember to thank a capitalist for this

More than I expected from ol' Genociden' with Biden

I never say I'm a Marxist, but rather that I study Marx and generally like what I've read, because I'm also not sure at what point one becomes a Marxist. Do you ace your Marxism exams to become a Marxist? Now I want to know where I can take Marxism exams.

Now if you ask me a question purely of beliefs like, "are you a communist", I'd say no, but only because it's usually assholes like Congress that ask that question and you should always lie to Congress.

How many dyslexic people in the US would ever even get diagnosed? That would require a semblance of healthcare right?

At this point they really couldn't do worse than us

i love saying that germany should have been turned into israel, but ultimately ethnostates shouldn’t exist.

While this is true, I can also understand why Jews after WW2 might think "Maybe what we need is our own state with its own military."

That being said, my limited understanding was that South Germany voted strongly against the Nazis, so a new Israel should have been carved out of Northern Germany, connecting from the Netherlands to Poland, the 2 countries with the highest concentrations of Jews in pre-WW2 Europe. This would have opened things up logistically, culturally, and diplomatically for Jews who wanted to return to places they had been removed from due to the Nazis. Making Germans dependent on this new Israel for access to the sea might also have taught them a valuable lesson in humility.

But also accurate

Well, it's people might be better off under pretty much any parliamentary system but each parliamentary system has its benefits and detriments. No system is really immune though because of ruling classes and culture.

If you want to see what it might have looked like if the USA had been parliamentary all along, Canada might be the best example. Multiple parties, but first past the post, so in any given region it's typically one of two entrenched parties unless people get really pissed. Also, lots of horrendous abuses of First Nations people so not a whole lot better.

Proportional voting parliamentary systems tend towards giving the people what they want most, but their efficacy tends to be based largely on what people want. Consider Israel where the Knesset is proportional: It's permitting a genocide. Simultaneously Germany uses a similar system. Not permitting a genocide but rather enabling one and suppressing the voices of those against enabling a genocide.

Yeah, that's what they said about Shireen Abu Akleh too. Lucy teeing up the football again.

So how obsessed is she with the Titanic?

Or you think it should be a democratically run secular state where people from any ethnicity or religion can live in equality.

The reason it hasn't been is because Israel doesn't want a one state solution because they would have lost most of their power over the Knesset. Many people would have been fine with this result before the genocide, it's unclear how much the numbers have changed since.

Just hoping against a winter of our discontent :doomer:
