Probably the Russian federation. They have a strong communist party, and a population that reveres it’s socialist past, and a socialist neighbor to emulate.

The comments on that article are cancer.

If the US can’t use their proxy bases in the ME, they’re cooked.

Even the non-repressive function of states need hierarchies. All administration needs specialists, managers, organization.

Think of a hospital, or a large-scale engineering project. There is no conceivable way these could be run without hierarchies and centralized control.

Central coordination without a state hierarchy is entirely possible.

Its not a state, its a insert extremely convoluted term that does everything a state does

These gentlemen think when they have changed the names of things, they have changed the things themselves. That is how these profound thinkers mock the whole world.

US drones have a built-in whiteness detector tho, so these troops are safe.

Mexico and Columbia’s militaries should be having meetings ASAP.

That’s a good shot. He’s peeking at you a bit trying to figure out what you’re up to.

They genocided hundreds of tribes and peoples, on a much larger scale than the holocaust, and then made monuments to brag about it. Still haven’t managed to return any stolen land to the survivors.

but Oh no the DPRK are the indoctrinated ones!

Death to amerikkka

Yep, US Libertarians are more anti-war than US socdems now.

Read or listen to Allen Carr - how to stop smoking. There’s an audiobook on torrents.

Yeah its not clear to me what matrix 2.0 is either, seems like spec changes? Nothing here about synapse (the python matrix server), or the go one.

I’d also like to add that hitler was very specific about his desire to emulate the US model of colonialism: and do to eastern europe, what the US had already done to its native peoples.

The only difference between lebensraum and manifest destiny, is that bourgeois democracy was far more effective at indigenous genocide than fascism was.

The USA genocided an entire continent under it’s current form of government, and committed and is still committing countless other atrocities. Look at what Europe did to Africa and Asia under that same form.

Bourgeois parliamentarism is a much more stable shell for colonialism than any other form of government has proven to be. Demonizing a dead form of colonialism (fascism) lets them off the hook, and never forces them to look at what their own governments are currently doing. They get to keep their chauvinist / supremacist myth about “liberal democracy” being the superior form of government, without challenging it.

I need to make a bot to post this any time fascism gets mentioned.

The western left’s use of the term fascism, is borderline white-supremacist at this point. Fascism was a form of colonialism that died by the 1940s, and is only allowed to be demonized in public discourse, because it was a form of colonialism directed also against white europeans. It was defeated, and Germany / Italy / Japan reverted to the more stable form of government for colonialism (practiced by the US, UK, France, the Netherlands, Australia, etc): bourgeois parliamentarism.

British, european, and now US colonizers were doing the exact same thing, and killing far more people for hundreds of years in the global south, yet you don’t hear ppl scared of their countries potentially "adopting parliamentary democracy”. They haven’t changed, and their wealth is still propped up by surplus value theft from the super-exploitation of hundreds of millions of low-paid global south proletarians.

This is why you have new leftists terrified that the UK or US or europe “might turn fascist!!”, betraying that the atrocities propagated by those empires against the global south was and is completely acceptable.

Make no mistake about it: parliamentary / bourgeois democracy is not only a more stable form of government, it’s also far more effective at carrying out colonialism, and killing millions of innocent people.

I’m told heated electric carpets are dope, but they aren’t common where I live so I’ve never tried one out.

Mastodon users love US prosecutors with a history of scandals it seems. Or they’re just ignorant of that history.

Anyone else get the sense that a Hillary-style astroturfing campaign is getting started now?

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised… a lot of liberals on the fediverse have the brain of a goldfish and can’t remember all the scandals she’s been involved in.
