Above is a person who does not know what “democracy” means
No this is the person who claims that it is possible to be freer in one authoritarian state vs another authoritarian state.
For example the DPRK and Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, whoch were ostensibly socialist, were less free societies than Chile under Pinochett which was fascist.
But nuance seems to be lost on the cult followers here because so many here are uneducated in political philosophy like you have proven.
The USA did not kidnap those kids. They were typically orphans as a result of the wars but hey don’t ket nuance get in the way.
Russia is kidnapping children right now. Their parents and families still live.
The history of rape as a tactic is pretty well documented. You must be poorly educated in history to not know this. When Americans rape people they typically get tried whereas Russia just lets it happen. It’s almost as if one society doesn’t view it as evil as everyone else.
The official policy was to not be involved ij Bacha Bazi so if you have a source that is not laughable (like Medium.com would be or a fanzine would also be) that proves that Americans did not look the other way regarding this practice I’d like to see it.
That was also unacceptable but your whataboutism aside we are talking about what Russia is doing right now.
If your pronouns include “comrade” why are you defending Russia here?
If there are not pronouns following the name they aren’t on hexbear
Time isn’t full of shit. This did happen and Cuba shut it down because despite their issues they are not ok with the exploitation of Cubans.
Or call me when Russians start kidnapping children like the Americans did in…oh wait that’s unique to Russia
How about when America stops using rape as a tactic in war…oh shit they did that a century ago but we are STILL WAITING FIR RUSSIA TO ABANDON RAPE AS A WAR TACTIC.
Both invasions were wrong and each side had unique crimes BUT Russia is committing these crimes against humanity right now.
No it is one of a handful of examples whereas Russia has NEVER abandoned rape as a war tactic.
Ok how many thousands of examples can you come up with in the US invasion of Iraq perpetrated by Americans. There are reports of thousands of rapes as Russia still utilizes rape as a war tactic and always have.
Less rape, genocide and outright theft of appliances in America’s invasion but yeah both were objectively fought to steal resources.
The other person doesn’t know what “democracy” means or understand how voting systems work so what civil way would you describe their uneducated views?
I did for a bit too until someone here pointed out the underlying issue. Winnie is yellow in all the images of him Disney made or not. And “yellow” people in Western racism are Asians particularly Chinese people.
It would be really fucked up for Germany to call Xi any variation of that name IMO.
No that would be racist.
When you change the rules so you can hold office longer than permitted in an authoritarian country that is an appropriate label for the dictator.
The DPRK is the least free society on earth right now if you consider that to be socialist and Hungary, which has fascists in the highest office, is freer than DPRK
Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge was quite possibly the least free society in history if you consider them socialist.
Keep crying your tears child because you clearly cannot argue from a position of knowledge. Tankies that take socialism as a religion are the WORST.
Source on Cuba letting in elections inspectors? I can’t find anything that suggests this and only sources that say the opposite. If it helps I can read Spanish.
Source for them not letting in inspectors:
It’s more like you don’t know what the words you are using mean so you keep asserting points that are fundamentally incorrect like Cuba being free or democratic ir having fair elections.
This isn’t propaganda. Cuba is authoritarian like China is or Vietnam but unlike how DPRK is because that’s not even socialist it’s just a hereditary autocratic monarchy.
Cuba isn’t more free than the USA. You can’t choose your government, your top executive, nor can you suggest changing what kind of Marxist state you want to achieve. Cuba is not free.
Cuba’s constitution wasn’t created by direcy democracy. Direct democracy would mean ALL Cuban citizens would be part of creating the constitution.
You seriously need to stop using words like “free” or “democracy” because you keep misusing them. Cuba is neither free or democratic. Being able to vote doesn’t make a state democratic when they can fix the vote like Cuba can.
Even IF the USA went fascist it would still be freer than almost all socialist nations because the kinds of people attracted to socialism aren’t interested in any opposing views or critiques as you are proving right now.
Try looking into the Unitarian, Episcopal or United Church if Christ as all three tend to be more progressive if you want a community that is likely to not be as conservative. The Episcopal church, of the three, is more likely to have a conservative element as it was the “elite” denomination for centuries.
While American soldiers absolutely rape and have raped people it is not the policy of the USA for then to do so and it is typically punished when evidence exists. The same is not true for Russia who is one of the few nations that does not address this.
