@immanueldarjean5050 She doesn't look very freedom loving by standing ion front of a US flag with an AR-15. Looks more like a pro Imperialist nationalist.

@One earth It was Mao who said "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." Take a close look at that campaign picture

@happydaze7386 Plus healthcare and education do not produce a profit and for capitalist industry they are an overhead cost. Giving fee rain to industry and capitalism can never solve either of those problems. The idea that you get a choice in either is complete nonsense. First the US only trains two Doctors to replace every three who retire and the patient has no real way to know anything about the quality of their healthcare. Second Education is based in school districts. The districts are divided into areas with property tax being the funding. So in many instances no real choice would become available with Charter Schools since the rich and poor don't live in the same housing districts which is the determinate of funding.

@One earth Look at that picture "Political Power grows out of the barrel of a gun". Guess who said that? Chairman Mao not Marx or Lenin.

@josephpfalzgraf4213 I was born here I did not grow up in China to become a privileged law professor and run away to the US to open a business so I could be even more privileged. Since unlike most Americans I've actual read the writings of Marx, Lenin, Trotsky and others. Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism and it shows no sign of being able to escape the Imperialist stage. Now if world capitalism is self regulating and able to grow peacefully without ending up in a world war which produced the Soviet Union as the first workers state where did the capitalists go wrong? Now you say you won the cold war yet here we see Putin trying to become another CZAR and create a prison house of nations and China becoming a competitor of US Imperialism copying it from books by Milton Freedmen not Marx or Lenin arming itself for coming trade wars. In fact the Chinese Party has rejected Lenin. Of course being American you know almost nothing about philosophy except Capitalism good Communism bad and how and when to count dead bodies. .

@josephpfalzgraf4213 And before you start going on about communist having freedom in Capitalist countries like the US. Well I was born during the cold war and I remember having to sign a loyalty oath just to get a college "national defense:" loan You know the one where its say I am not nor have I ever been a member of the Communist Party or any organization on the Attorney generals list of subversive organizations. And the red hunt purge went beyond just the stalinists to included those diametrically opposed to Stalin the Trotskyists.

Communism is a movement not a romantic doctrine. Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism. Capitalism can't outrun its own contradictions. It can only lead to war against the trade unions (fascism) and Imperialist foreign wars. The ruling classes are just to greedy to do anything else.

@davidvalensi8616 She looks brave alright standing their with an AR-15 in front of a flag. "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." Chairmen Mao. What did you say she knew about Mao?

@xD4RKxRYU Enlightened does she have any solution for China? I guess not since she just ran away? Now that she's here she's worried and having nightmares after feeling safe and secure. Him I guess she was living in a "safe space.".. Well I'm sure she can help us here because she ran away from China!

@xD4RKxRYU I use it to symbolize the early Russian Revolution. If capitalism was able to escape Imperialism as it highest stage and world war one than their never would have been a Russian revolution. Now you claim to have won the cold war but you were unable to prevent or solve the economic crisis of 2008. Putin having set up a pusedo capitalism with a KGB style regime has now gone to war with Ukraine which only furthers Lenin's theory that Imperialism is the highest stage and Imperialism means conflict among the developed capitalist nations for markets and resources. Capitalism is naturally exploitive and the greedy capitalist classes can't stay out of war with each other and that's not even counting the decline in the rate of profit which means even if capitalism could avoid war it would come to an end as machines replace labor because of the resulting fall in the rate of profit.

@hleigh7201 Jealousy of what? Your Bourgeois University degree in Ben Shapiro mud pie economics. You bit coin foolishness? Tell me something do you think you could get me in for a tour of the cellars of the New York Federal Reserve Bank where your keeping the largest stash of the worlds gold?

@frausilver2741 She looks like she has absorbed Chairman Mao's "..Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun..." theory

@anthonywilliams7052 If she actually told the whole truth and history of China instead of just demonizing Mao it would be worth it. Seldom do people like her want to do anything but provide propaganda cover for US Imperialism. General Chang was butcher of China's working class in Shanghai.

@shazzadhasan3970 Think what China was before the revolution before you just go blindly down the anti communist river. General Chang was a butcher of the Shanghai workers. The British fought a war to sell China opium. Millions died in the Taipei rebellion. .US General MacArthur want to drop nukes on Chineses cities.

@shazzadhasan3970 No such thing as freedom in the abstract. Plus Marx and Lenin were obscure philosophers before the capitalist Imperialist nations decided to go to war with each other to redivide the world among themselves. So all you need to do to avoid revolution is for capitalism to not go to war for profits but you can't avoid that because your much too greedy and that will be your downfall just like it was King Charles of England. One of the charges brought against the King was he was going about the country and destroying it just so he could collect taxes. Now the American Imperialists have been going about the world destroying it for profits. You face the same fate as King Charles. The mistake the English merchants made was to compromise and allow the King back to power after having Established a commonwealth (republic). The American merchants would not make the same mistake since they made it impossible for king to rule since they knew the fate of the living commissioners after the English civil war was to go into exile for the rest of their lives while the dead commissioners bodies were posthumously executed and the monarchy restored. .

@shazzadhasan3970 Can I blame my own ruling class for war and the military industrial complex? Yes I can. USMC Major General Smedley Butler wrote "War is a Racket." In the short pamphlet he admitted to being a "gangster for capitalism." You have a pseudo capitalism in Russia and Eastern Europe and the Chinese have adopted the methods of Imperialism when dealing with foreign countries. They don't yet have the blue water Navy of the US or the British Empire of the past but the obviously aspire to that. Capitalism is all about making a profit no matter if it is medical supplies or armaments. Which country proportionally out does all other in training Doctors Revolutionary Cuba. Which contry requires immigrants to replace one in every three Doctors who retire? The US. Why because education and healthcare are overhead costs of industrial production they can't make a profit like using machines with unskilled labor can.
1
@shazzadhasan3970 Am I? Also as machines replace labor capital investment rises and living labor per commodity declines. What that means is that as capitalism advances the rate of return on investment declines. So inorder to make more at a lower cost of production the capitalist defeats his goal when the price drops towards the new cost of production and the measure of sucess rate of return on investment (rate of profit) declines.
1
@shazzadhasan3970 The capitalist invests in machines to cut labor time and skill to lower his cost yet by doing so he cuts the source of profit the labor going into the product. He now needs a bigger market if he is to use the same amount of labor and because the fixed capital value is now larger his overall rate of profit by which the general success of capital is measured goes into decline as the price of the commodity tends to drop towards the new cost of production.

@shazzadhasan3970 World socialist revolution. The workers need to take charge of production and run it in the interests of human needs not profits.
