Maybe the purpose of a system is what it does…
Maybe trying to lower the rate/efficiency of the baby-killing machine is the wrong approach…
Maybe you should be thinking about destroying it…

I yearn for the good old days when being conservative meant not blowing up the deficit with stupid bullshit and lumping Nazis, religious extremists, and imperialist commies into a basket of ‘people only useful for adding nitrogen and phosphorous to soil’. That was only 20 years ago
Edit: I mean, imagine an alternate universe without Reagan or the Moral Majority, and instead of Trump we had some candidate who wanted to raise corporate tax rates on large businesses to balance the budget and give small businesses a fighting chance, and holding the line at the Ukraine-Russia border at all costs. That’s what I mean, pretty peachy huh
German conservatives formed a majority coalition with the Nazis in 1932. Conservatives have always sided with fascism over socialism and always will.
Idk where you were 2004, but the conservatives you speak of certainly weren’t around. In fact, I’m quite sure they never existed, considering conservatism in the US has always been closely tied to white supremacy and Christian nationalism.
Yeah the more I think about it the more I think it was Reagan and Falwell that flipped everything around. Everyone got a sip of the tax cut and Christian values koolaid
More like Nixon with the “southern strategy” to lure the Dixiecrats into becoming Republicans.
did you just blank out all the rabid mccarthyism and thatcherism
No, I’m thinking of the good old days, not the bad days. The post-McCarthy hangover where conservatives were not entirely dissimilar to Clinton, but then Reagan showed up
Well, social imperialism was a real thing. though it’s in no way comparable to the atrocities of capitalist (aka. “normal”) imperialism
Yeah, that’s no typo. You have regular boring communist countries that just sit there being communist. In a post-McCarthy world most people realized those countries are pretty benign. You have imperialist nations that attempt to extend their territory and influence. Then you slap it all together and you get the USSR. Or Putin’s Russia. Don’t let them knock over their neighbors, install puppet governments, give them any aid or comfort or intel or anything
putin specifically ran on explicitly anticommunist platform (the first time he was elected anyway)
Yeah clearly, no need to double down
Sorry, I had no clue what you were even getting at when you quoted 2 words without context
It’s a term https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_state
And unironically using it shows every leftist that you have no idea about socialist politics 💀💀
