0·4 months agoSuccessful by what metric?
Economic cultural scientific military. Basically everything.
It’s called a dictatorship of the proletariat when the wealthy minority do not be getting to enforce their will on the majority.
It’s just a personal dictatorship of one man. Stalin had arrest quotas so his men rounded up people at random at train stations and markets to fulfil his quota. Sucked for the proletariat just trying to buy bread or visit grandma.
And yet it made America the must successful country in the world.
Iran and Russia and China are constitutional republics. It means nothing. Just another GOP dog whistle.
but yeah go off saying Russia is somehow worse.
We don’t push political opponents off buildings and kill them in prisons and plane accidents and poisonings over here Ivan.
What’s utterly crazy is you trying to tell people that Treason Trump’s neofascist movement would be better at protecting minority rights than our longstanding core values of democracy and the rule of law.
They are not talking about direct democracy,
Which means they are clearly talking about breaking 240 years of our democracy since we don’t have direct democracy. This is part of the GOP’s War on Democracy and the Traitorapist Trump neofascism movement to crush our longstanding core American values of democracy, freedom, and the rule of law.
Yes they are so. Anybody who thinks the Shah is in power in Iran, the Tsar rules Russia, the Emperor still rules China, and the Kaiser still runs Germany, is not paying attention to current events.
Sure dude, that is exactly what the conversation is about!
It sure is. The fascist takeover of Germany and terrifying consequences is real and your “lynch mob” example making democracy the “worst form of government” is not real. Lynch mobs have never been legal in democracies. But they are common in just about every authoritarian country.
I think this guy is a actually a bootlicker rather than a tankie. Ironic how they sound the same.
Yes, and they should hate democracy. How do you not understand that democracy is bad? See lynch mob example
What I hate instead is the neofascist movement that is trying to capture America and implement a vast enshitification program. How do you not understand that neofascism is bad? See example of many millions killed and tortured in huge enshitification program in 1930’s Germany leading to global war killing tens of millions.
How about a constitutional republic?
North Korea is a constitutional republic. And Iran. And China. And Russia. And Nazi Germany was. That means nothing. It’s just another GOP dog whistle.
That is correct, we dont want a democracy
Yes we know that the Republicans hate democracy because their policies are highly unpopular. That’s why I posted this.
This story was censored in politics@lemmy.world BTW
Because the media didn’t report it much.
0·4 months agoIf the distribution of those nine satellite galaxies across the entire Milky Way is similar to what was found in the footprint captured by the HSC-SSP, the research team calculates that there actually may be closer to 500 satellite galaxies
WTF? I was thinking there were around a dozen or so.
Ethan Seigel never does "clickbait’ articles. He does 100% educational articles. I actually didn’t know more than half of these things. Who the hell knew that Earth does not have the most water in the solar system?
There is more going on here than you think. They have put a lot of thought into this I bet. As Republicans, the Lincoln Project knows that the kind of people who like Traitorapist Trump is exactly the kind of person that this kind of thing matters. Go directly at his image. Make him small, ridiculed, and the object of derision.
