Coup/protest in the US

[Sideshow Bob]

Yoh Rietrot is really schooling you guys on African politics. You should be ashamed.

Anything that sounds like/starts with com or cum is communist. This guy has stable genius genes. apparently.

What do you call the US large military industrial complex that employs millions of people.

Is it
a) capitalism. Privately owned and operated by capitalist.
b) collectively owned and operated by "the people" aka. the state.

Most failed African states have more in line with fascist states than they do with a communist states.

Another thing that stood out; he makes and sells furniture for a living. Stealing the podium makes sense now, he was in the Capitol on business.

"How voted" column? Do they record how you vote?

The column has a 'N', so I think it just means 'Yes (Y)' or 'No (N)'.

Would not be good if they record which party you voted for.

No.

Not in the real world were communism is not just a hippie commune.

 

[rietrot]

Clearly you have no idea how all of it worked in the past and how it works now.

Let me guess? It was like Wakanda and you had magic?

That's juvenile response to a perfectly legitimate observation.

Strange that you're defending Fascism

Yup.
Thin vernier of private property.
Huge amounts of regulation.
Blame ethnic minorities for everything.

He was just trying to make a living in these hard covid times and for that they treat him like a criminal

You are aware that fascism shares a lot in common with communism/socialism and on a political compass it would fall pretty close to centre authoritarianism?

There has never been a textbook communist state and what we have always labelled communist states have been murderous and oppressive authoritarian regimes lead by dictators. They're all the same really.

Bra. Where? Fascism is bad almost alway except if you have to use it to get rid of the communist. Then it is still bad, but a necessary evil.

I love it when people talk about fascism, because the definition seems to change depending on who you're talking to the most common element in people's definitions, is something that is inherently evil, but only by their own world view and perception.

I have it as fascism is the dictatorship you didn't like.
Communism is the dictatorship you did like.

Fascism promotes racial/ethnic superiority. Similarities are in economy and governance.

What kind of Fong Kong political scale are you using?
