Just in your lifetime, how many innocent people has America killed in the pursuit of capitalist ideals. There’s literally genocide in all systems because the people at the top are often corrupted by power. The idea that we shouldn’t help people because some people were murdered is ridiculous. Have a word with yourself.

rus*ian propaganda
Point me to where the russians support leftists in the western world.
Eg. this sub, you’re welcome mate
Are these russians in the room with us right now?

Well, you got me mate. It was my russian accent wasn’t it. Next time I will be more subtle. до свидания.
Are the Russians forcing American cops to kill over 1000 people a year? Did the Russians spike the cost of insulin to $250 a vial? Are the Russians stopping America from passing minimum wage increases, universal healthcare, gun reform, abortion rights, trans rights, removing money from politics? Dumb fuck.

You can have capitalism without cop-violence
No, you really can’t. Capital cannot exist without someone to protect it from the working class.
and its way better than socialism that inherently comes with violence towards the common folk.
You have no fucking clue what you’re blathering about. Just shut the fuck up already.

Cuba has a significantly lower crime rate than the US across the board. Once again, you have no clue what you’re talking about.
Go lick boots somewhere else.
The USA is bad because it does bad stuff. Russian propaganda isn’t the reason America habitually invades the middle East. Maybe you’ll grow up enough to have a discussion without attacking people at some point though.
USA, the only capitalist country, does the inherently capitalist thing embedded to its ideology, of invading middle east. Lmao
i dont need russian propaganda, i look at the difference between my country and america and choose not to enter for various reasons: weapons the most obvious, corrupt police second, 2 corrupt party system, home of nestle and other really bad companies that killed more than some wars (maybe smaller wars but still), so much national socialism/patriotism and it would be expensive to only look at a different szenery when i could watch photos (i know irl experiences is a different thing but still)
MY points
i think the points that matter the most are the bad companies in combination that the corrupt political system allows it out of accepting bribes
oh and they fight wars pasically for stealing the oil, when they cant harvest the oil they leave from what i gotRemoved by mod
Dont know how much i debunk myself with some stuff, dont really care
then sorry about the nestle thing, that is my error thank you for clarifying.
At least here in germany we had like two main parties over the few years but i think now that they are loosing voting power everything gets better in general (except the afd but that is another story) so yea that is more an US specific problem.
And US has a very short time for officers to train (i think 3 months or so) which reflects directly to the corruption. I think in north europe there are the highest times for police training and they have the lowest corruption rate. And i cant really think of another argument than money why the training should be so low.For me the US is like late stage capitalism where all the worse things of capitalism are very visible.
I think my main problem is that with capitalism, the rich are like automatically getting richer what is a problrm for the entire population.And i dont even think i am a tankie because i throw some anti capitalist arguments.
I personally would like socialism but i think that is only possible with smaller communities and not really with the entire globalisation.
That is why i think capitalistic states with a lot of social rules like “tax the rich” are the best way to go.
I really dont think i am a tankie, i may be dumb but not a tankie.I’m not a tankie is the I’m not a nazi said by totally-not-nazis but for totally-not-tankies. But yeah you may be dumb
So you’re a Nazi, got it.
What the fuck are you blathering about?
Not all leftist ideologies include genocide. Yes those did happen in the past, but unlike fascism, leftist ideologies are not inherently bad. The only bad thing was the implementation of it. Countries like Norway, although capitalist, have many policies that would be considered by many people to be “socialist”, but do you see a genocide there?
The fact that its only leftists and some loonies from far-right that downplay it, is just a happy little coincidence I think.
Social democracy is not inherently left or right, I’m from the nordic states and we currently have a very right-wing government. Leftism is evil
I’m not even remotely far-left, and I thought this was a really wrong take…
Any extremist take is wrong, in my opinion. Socialism? Wrong. Fascism? Wrong. Capitalism? Wrong. Communism? Wrong.
Helping others? Right! And maybe, someday, we can stop trying to do one thing really well, and start doing them all pretty good. That’s the first step to doing everything really well.

See, there’s your problem, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Time to open your eyes and look at what the actual left wants and does, instead of the one in your imagination. While you’re at it, do the same for the parties you do support, and check if what they’re realizing actually matches what they’re promising - and if that actually helps people instead of just the wealthy.
Either you know this person outside the context provided here, or you’re jumping to radical conclusions about them.
Personally, I think they have it exactly right. Political institutions almost always become corrupt no matter how good the intentions. It happens to literally all of the largest examples on Earth.
You? Wrong. Your views? Incoherent nonsense.
Lol yup, that’s how extremism works. That’s exactly the problem right there.
You know nothing of my views, yet the fact I’ve labeled the extreme use of four generic, popular political idealogies as “wrong” has urged you to label my conversation starting statement as “incoherent nonsense.”
