In the US it's the same thing.

Yeah that's bullshit. I have said plenty of anti Putin stuff in my instance. Same for being critical of China. I just don't spew propaganda without context when I do.

If you can't enforce it, it's not a law.

Fuck it. I'll volunteer western NY to just become part of Ontario. We don't even need to be our own province.

The neo Nazis think he was, and that was his audience. That's enough for me.

Modern Russia is an imperialist shit hole. There you got a straight answer.

That's the rub,

You think government is inherently bad. I think they, and us by reflection are a product of their material conditions. Governments are a reflection of a people's relationship with material. IE - America says "Greed is Good" Ergo we get the corporate profits over people shitfest we have now. The first step towards breaking that hold is education and organization at a community level. So that is where I focus.

I could get into a big lecture/discussion about Dialectical Materialism, the conditions requiring a vanguard, how that vanguard should be defined ect. ect. ect, how we as a people work to stop capitalist vampirism and "corporatism" (capitalism in a trench coat) - but I don't think that would help.

Alternatively, I could pull the typical Tankie "Read theory" at this point (and I do think that is what is needed for us to continue this conversation, but I admit it's a copout that doesn't really give you a good starting point. Really though the first 2 pages of the manifesto would give you the gist of what I'm trying to say here.)

So, where do we go from here? - If you have a suggestion, I would be happy to talk more.

EDIT: The post above this was just saying that I was trying to "No u" him, but he called me a bad name, so the mod tagged it, just for context. To be fair, I am saying that it happened and happens in many cases, so I can see the argument, I just think it's inaccurate.

We both do. I just don't hide from that fact and work to minimize the damage.

Modern Russia is an imperialist shit hole. The question I was asked was about the Soviet.
