Your Democracy is a Sham and Here's Why

We're not going to waste energy on something proven to be a failed practice.

Your argument boils down to that of a gambling addict who doesn't know when to stop, despite increased harm the longer you perpetuate it.

Vote Biden people! The only other option will be a fascist or fascist enabler. I don't like it anymore than you do.

First of all, bugs-no

Second of all, the US is in irreversible decline. All roads point downhill, and there's no stopping the process of collapse. Who gives a shit about damage control and lesser-evilism. The collapse of the US empire is better than trying to live under it.

Third of all, what's your argument for electoralism and libby bibby bullshit liberalism being anything other than "rational fascism" and a failed ideology?

porky-happy - But did you consider that China is satanic and these homes were built with the bodies of christian babies?

took-restraint - That's right, I forgot..

Thanks for your comment, I do appreciate it, and I will check out that youtube channel.

Thank you for being willing to engage.

But are you telling me that there are failed states in the west? And if so could you name one?

I'm going to re-post what I said in response to another person on another thread.

The US has ornamental "rights" and "freedoms" that serve no tangible benefit to the material and social conditions of the working class and are virtues in name only.

The US has had liberal democracy for quite a while now, and guess what? It's a massive failure. The US is a failed state. Widespread illiteracy, decaying social and material conditions, widespread immiseration and loss of dignity, skyrocketing inflation, plummeting purchasing power for the working class, odious student and medical debt, widespread corruption, endless forever wars against the working class of other countries, environmental breakdown with collapsing ecosystems due to deliberately perpetuated fossil fuel dependence, collapsing bridges and other crumbling infrastructure, subway systems that are de-facto sewers like in New York City, tent cities as far as the eye can see, home ownership nigh-impossible for the vast majority, over 50% of millennials and even higher percentage of young people having to live with their parents because rents are beyond absurd, increasingly more young people unable to afford their own transportation, people are even being priced out of trailer parks... But you can talk crap about your politicians and.. yeah.. you can do things that don't actually challenge or tangibly displace the rule of the capitalist class..

As for Europe, they're undergoing de-industrialization right now because the US convinced them to sanction Russian energy, effectively cutting themselves off from the life force of industrial development. The US made doubly sure of this by blowing up the Nordstream pipelines so they couldn't go back to it even if they wanted to.

Now, Europe is buying Russian energy from India at rates higher than they were originally paying with status quo, making it considerably more expensive to operate in Europe. Thus, plants are closing down and moving to places like the US and China as the former cannibalizes its vassals in one last attempt to save its dying empire.

As for Japan and South Korea, two of the most miserable countries in East Asia, the living conditions are abysmal. Apartments the size of broom closets cost a significant amount of one's income. Upward mobility is very difficult, people are constantly worked to death, suicide rates are always outrageously high, even the birth rate seems to be constantly in decline (also among the lowest on Earth) because it's just impossible to have room for anything besides work and drinking yourself to death.

These are not signs of healthy, successful, well functioning states. A nation will only prosper when its young people thrive, and the complete opposite trend is and has been underway for a long time in the West. These nations are imploding, undergoing full-spectrum decay, while China is undergoing massive projects of national and global development and full-spectrum rejuvenation.

You clearly have not been keeping up with China's development.

Planning ahead and building cities for the purposes of already having infrastructure for an expanding population (1.4 billion already), and also making those new cities attractive enough to cause sufficient migration that older cities (like Beijing) can be re-developed without having to uproot massive amounts of people makes perfect sense.

China is unrecognizable now from 10 years ago, let alone 70 years ago. The speed of development is incredibly fast over there because the nation operates in the interests of the working class. Quality of life is reliably, consistently, and tangibly always improving in China. This compulsive, nonsensical urge to somehow, someway paint China as inferior to white Western countries is incredibly infantile with racist undertones, since the idea here is that only white countries (or their dogs like South Korea and Japan, two of the most miserable countries in East Asia) can ever get anything right despite having nothing to show for it.

Here, go have a look for yourself at what a successful nation actually looks like: Living in China YouTube Channel

The only thing China has to learn from Western countries is exactly what not to do, and how to avoid becoming a failed state, which they've all already arrived at or are in the process of becoming.

A non-white nation surpassing the West in all respects, while the latter stews in arrested national development and full-spectrum decay.

They have nothing more to say, really. China is physical and social proof of a superior form of governance by the proletariat. Hell, even a single video from the channel Living in China is enough to shut people up and shatter Cold War world views in most cases. What can you honestly say when the proof is just right in front of you? The narratives would have to become increasingly cartoony and absurd.. and they are.. and it's not working anymore.

China doesn't need the imperialist countries anymore. Too fucking bad for them. They don't get to be the masters and keep their boots on everyone's necks anymore. Their race theory is also shot to shit now, so they've lost pretty much everything they used to rely on to legitimize themselves.

American exceptionalism. They believe everyone owes them a red carpet, limousines, a VIP room and blowjobs on demand.

I'm going to relish every single second of the hysteria coming from those types as their hegemonic privileges wither away with the rise of China and the Global South.

Sanders and AOC Unveil Resolution to further waste everyone's fucking time and refuse to support the class interests of the proletariat in the 21st century.

The global south should start subjecting Westoids to the same visa application humiliation non-Westerners get put through.

100-com. Realistically, it wouldn't harm the working class of the West much since we're too fucking poor to travel anyhow. Wealthy white people are the most common "tourists" from the West.

Gonna be interesting to see this whole situation shakes out. India pulled a Kashogi and it remains to be seen whether the Western blob sees India as being on the same level of strategic importance as Saudi Arabia.

I love the empire's splintering. There's cracks that won't hold forever, so collapsing relations from in-fighting serve to accelerate the weakening of the liberal world's hegemony, and I'm here for it sit-back-and-enjoy

Happy to hear it! Best of luck with the new person in your life Care-Comrade

Comrades, send me your energy!

sicko-radiant shares what communist energy I can muster

Very happy for you getting a date with a like-minded person. Please, get some rest when you can, though.

 

If you want something done that benefits the people and the planet, with tangible results, in a timely manner, call China.

The only infrastructure the US is ever interested in producing is military bases.

Would have liked everything to have been translated with subtitles, but it's interesting news nevertheless.
