I think you’re confusing Marxist-Leninism with communism. Communism is an umbrella term. There is no “state” in any potential communist society. Anarchists want to go straight to communism after whatever potential revolution, MLs want to have a period of socialism, with a strong state, before hand

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism communism must be stateless. state repression is the method by which the working class is oppressed

What do you think anarchism is a subset of?

Communism is a stateless, classless, moneyless society sort of like the state of nature in political theory. Socialism is building towards that. There are many different socialist political theories that all have different views of getting towards that end goal

Capitalism needs the government to survive. Without the state, capitalism wouldn’t exist. My family members say the same thing about Cuba too. They were mad the Revolution took their plantation that was built by slaves. Poor guys

Capitalism can’t survive on its own lmao but sure communism is bad because you were told it is

Communism has nothing to do with the government. Why don’t you actually try to understand the theory before you talk about it

Capitalism encourages genocide by denying you rights and a livelihood if the market deems you unworthy

You obviously haven’t lmao. The communist manifesto deals much more with history and theory than actual “economics”

so then what are you even advocating for? Are you just arguing for the sake of arguing? There are two options, leaving nations alone or supporting their take over by imperialist forces. You can not like how a country is run and support that countries right to exist

Will I defend some sort of fascist coup of the US? Obviously not, I’m a citizen here. Would I support another country “freeing” us in the Western sense? No I wouldn’t either. No one is asking you to support people you don’t want to support. What we are asking is for you to stop advocating for the overthrowing of governments that aren’t yours

They’ll support someone like Jeremy Corbyn and proudly call him a socialist, while denying that privilege to non western socialists. Remember it’s only socialism if white westerners approve of it! /s

Because the West is built upon past and present imperialist actions. You are tacitly defending that imperialism but denying a group of people’s right to self determination. A country can have a “dictatorship” and that doesn’t give you a right to promote the genocide of their people by outside forces

[–]dryrubs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hope your being ironic because if you aren't then it is you who is showing signs of internalized imperialism undoubtedly the result of you being a typical western person. You defend imperialism because in the end your country will benefit from it. It doesn't matter to you that Libyans are currently being enslaved right now or the fact that they have no real government. All people have the right to self determination, that right is absolute. We don't need propaganda thats used to justify invasions and coups

It is though. Revolution is a check all people have on the powers that control them. It is not up to us to decide what happens within the confines of their country

[–]dryrubs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is so true. Liberals and fascists don’t care about the conditions of the people in the countries they plunder. They just use little sound bites to justify imperialism. “Not supporting” these countries because of these sound bites is literally falling for propaganda. We should support independent nations right to self determination first and foremost

Every group of people have a right to self-determination. It’s not about supporting dictators, it’s about supporting that principle. African nations have been suffering under colonialism and imperialism for over 400 years. You should always support the right of existence for independent African nations
