  1. Mao uplifted billions of people out of serfdom and eradicated the structures of land ownership that were being used to enslave those serfs to what amounted to petty feudal lords. He also expanded access to education and Healthcare, and instituted programs to undo millenia of patriarchy and female subjugation. Here's a beautiful quote from Mao: "Women hold up half the sky"

  2. @tq oth Distribution of public resources is not the same as distribution of private wealth, though. And an elitist scientist who wants to live in a world without cooking and cleaning and the arts (or without full living compensation for the labor required to produce those things) is nothing but a bourgeois class traitor, not a revolutionary who deserves empowerment

  3. You come to a Marxist discussion of dialectics bringing prejudice and CIA programming. The contradiction is within you, not within Mao or this assessment

  4. Comparing Mao to Hitler makes you no better than the average neoliberal. This is a fascist's argument. The jdea that you think we should be appealing to people so warped as to compare Mao to Hitler is frankly repulsive. We don't sacrifice reason just to make dupes and fascist sympathizers comfortable. See yourself out, by all means, if you insist on cleaving to anti-communist propaganda in the face of Marxist dialectics. You are not the center of this conversation

  5.  @chrissmithdoe2100  Well fair enough, the digital space is large enough. Still, don't forget you're more of a guest than you are the center of some sort of sales pitch for you to simply reject, as if this is all about your comfort. It's for people like you and I to listen, not to insist we and the gaps in our knowledge remain at the center of every conversation we wade into. At any rate, have a good April

  6. "I got my degree in Bourgeois Apologia and I am here to tell you the masses are stupid, and they should be thanking their rich masters!" Break out the BBQ Sauce, comrades

  7. "Nazi sympathizer or not" lmao Behold the economist, the capitalist toadie. You are a Nazi sympatheizer

  8. The Democrats and the Republicans both agree on 98% of their entire platform: White settler-colonial supremacy, imperialism, massive militarism, neoliberal capitalism, concentration camps for kids, the largest prison population on earth, the 1st and the 3rd most funded military organizations, with the latter, US policing, having literally zero targets beyond those forced by their guns to foot their bills. The real foolishness is believing that you have any real power in the illusion of "choice" between two aspects of the same ruling class. Only an end to the Tyranny of the Bourgeoisie will bring about change for the masses, it will never come from above, it never has and it never will

  10. American prisons are far more populous, far more deadly than post-war gulags, and don't carry maximum 10 year sentences like the gulags. America has the largest incarcerated population on the planet. 13% of all Americans go to bed hungry every night. America has concentration camps explicitly for kids forcefully separated from their poor parents. You don't care about poverty and misery. You are an ignorant dupe, a liar, and a brazen Nazi apologist. You don't care about your fellow human beings at all despite your bluster: you only care about spewing fascist propaganda
