Sounds like Harris needs to try to win back disaffected Muslim-Americans turned away by her promise to continue genocide.

Correct ideas bore out in reality. This is undeniable. Correct analysis will be correct, and flawed analysis will not. This works out in Marxism's favor, because it is an extremely powerful analytical tool.

With regards to speaking to non-Marxists, following the previous paragraph, you can describe concepts without giving away their origin. Point out Monopoly Capitalism as it relates to Modern Imperialism and is the driving factor of modern conflicts, without pointing out that it was Lenin that put pen to paper on it a century ago.

You can also take advantage of "common sense."

Not really, we have no actual control over policy.

I expect you to provide meaningful evidence that these are predatory loans, as opposed to beneficial loans. You made the claim that they are debt trapping, without providing evidence, just vibed, which teeters on western chauvanism.

Why didn't you reply to my comment if you wanted a response? You didn't even @ me when namedropping, like you're hiding.

Your first source is an opinion piece saying African countries need to be wary of taking on debt they can't pay back, without offering numbers. No evidence of debt entrapment, just loans.

Your second source just talks about the lack of transparency of one specific loan.

Neither proves China to be intentionally sinking African countries into debt, which is why I asked for sources.

Meanwhile, China has been waiving loans, and many loans are interest free as a part of the Belt and Road Initiative.

The US and other Western countries have stolen trillions from African Countries.

You need to meaningfully prove your statements, otherwise you're just a western chauvanist.

So you consider North Korea or Eritrea to be better then the US? Seriously?

Within the context of the world? Yes.

Can you proof China is not debt traping poor countries?

So you don't have any proof, you just said it because if the US is bad, other countries must be bad. That's western-chauvanism at its finest.

It is very easy to call the US the worst country, when you ignore the bad other countries commit.

It'd be nice if you could provide any proof for your claims.

Juche is basically Marxism-Leninism, but with a focus on self-reliance.

Depends on the audience. It's polarizing, hence the downvotes as well.

Hexbear and Lemmygrad are the two explicitly Communist instances, and Lemmy.ml has Marxist-Leninist admins (though apparently they claim .ml is because it's cheap, not for Marxism-Leninism).

It isn't feasible, period, until Socialism is achieved, which requires a smashing of the bourgeois state and a replacement with a democratic worker-government.

I'm a normal, healthy Communist, thank you very much

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's almost like I'm a Communist or something.

Stay mad.
