    I don’t doubt they had laws like these in place, I just doubt that anyone cared about them.

      The age-old issue of “What is an unenforced law?”

      The answer, generally, is “Nothing.”

        It’s almost like they don’t want a post-scarcity future where people are self-employed in worker co-ops, with massively local production of most good via traditional or additive manufacturing. Oh, and abundant energy for all of it via renewables.

        Does that sound about right in how to explain a functional form of socialism?

          Self-employed? Oh no, no, the Party will decide what you do, comrade! And the Party wants more tanks!

          To be fair, there were attempts to make worker co-ops in the USSR, but they did not last long.

    Why were the Mujahideen armed and in a civil conflict in the first place?

      As your own source notes, because the Soviet-backed dictator engaged in mass executions against the civilian population before the USA even got involved, tankie.

Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. No bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide or atrocity denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. Please redirect any Fediverse tankie-posts to !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works to avoid bringing drama to Piefed.social

Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you’ve got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!

Marx’s Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven’t read it

Kropotkin’s Conquest Of Bread

Selected works of Marx
