What the fuck are you talking about this is at the top of /all/ and it's about a socialist country, of course socialists are here.

Feel free to point to the "brigade" organisation that exists, it's a figment of your imagination. Nobody is brigading anything by simply using the fucking site. Are you brigading by being here too then?

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago

brigading is when I get ratioed, and the more ratioed I am the more brigading it is

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

I've got 3 fucking years of practice posting nonsensical shit in megathreads and I'm just now starting to feel the power this has in threads like this one.

[-] CatholicSocialist@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Keep pretending China is socialist.

[-] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

Keep pretending it isn't, lib.

[-] CatholicSocialist@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

You're the only liberal here for kissing a capitalist nation's ass.

[-] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Hey, coward, explain how you can simultaneously believe that the Donbas is independent and that when Russian troops entered their territory at their request that constituted an invasion.

Explain or admit that you don't consistently believe in self determination.

[-] CatholicSocialist@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

When did I say I'm against Russian troops entering Donbas territory? I made it very clear I'm against Russian troops entering anywhere BUT Donbas. Love how you guys claim to be anti-war until the millisecond a non-western nation is the one committing war crime atrocities and mass murdering civilians.

[-] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

Honestly I wouldn't even much of a problem if they just invaded Donbas

How could they possibly invade the Donbas at all when they were invited?

[-] CatholicSocialist@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Semantics. I didn't mean "invade," that was just the word that came in my head. You know damn well what I meant.

[-] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

It came into your head for a reason, liar. I guess going forward, nobody should assume that you mean what you say.

Socialist Market Economy is a socialist mode of production. :bean:

[-] CatholicSocialist@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Right, and the sky is green too.

Adding the word "socialist" in front of "market economy" doesn't make it any less capitalist. I'm done with this.

[-] SuperNovaCouchGuy2@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

nuh uh because it means that the CPC has final say over shit with regards to the economy and governance instead of just leaving things up to the market like a true capitalist country

[-] CatholicSocialist@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

That's called state capitalism wise guy.

[-] SuperNovaCouchGuy2@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

State capitalism is when you execute billionaires and enact compulsory planning for key parts of the nation's development such as health and infrastructure.

[-] CatholicSocialist@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

No but state capitalism is when the majority of billionaires are allowed to exist in the first place dumbass. Tight regulations don't make you socialist. And putting money into health and infrastructure is possible under capitalism LMFAO

[-] SuperNovaCouchGuy2@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

majority of billionaires are allowed to exist in the first place dumbass

Socialism is a transitory stage between capitalism and communism where there is ongoing class warfare between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat my dude. In China, the state is on the side of the proletariat, not the bourgeois.

And putting money into health and infrastructure is possible under capitalism

And yet China is the only major power where the state has a tight grip on both... Interesting!

THEN BAN BILLIONAIRES AND STOP FOLLOWING DENG'S CAPITALISM JFC. Not that hard if they were actually socialist and aiming for communism.

[-] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Not that hard if they were actually socialist

So why haven't you done it yet?

[-] Zodiark@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

“[Capitalists] act as if they are being chased by a bear,” wrote Zhang Lin, a Beijing political commentator, in response to these comments. “They are powerless to control the bear, so they are competing to outrun each other to escape the animal.”

Maybe say something of your own instead of linking a wall text. Does it look like I wanna read 5 pages of CCP propaganda?

[-] wopazoo@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lol 5 pages 😂🫴📖

[-] SuperNovaCouchGuy2@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

"Red Sails is a website run by Roderic Day in collaboration with Nia Frome, Sobrina de Alguien, and several other comrades."

Inb4 "muh CCP paid shills!!!!"

That would be going into the realm of conspiracy theories lmao

[-] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

All of the billionaires allowed to exist under your socialist project, so you're not really in a position to judge.

[-] duderium@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Cool then let’s have the CPC run the USA, I’m sure you’re okay with that since China is actually capitalist, right? It should totally be the same here if the CPC takes control, right? Right?

[-] TimmytheDragon@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

The kingdom of your God is not socialist, it is a monarchy.

[-] TimmytheDragon@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Keep pretending Catholicism has anything to do with socialism.
