literally every communist-led state ever saw faster electrification, sanitation, and agriculture development than any of their comparable peers (important). Please find me a single solitary example to the contrary. Also, please refrain from comparing Cuba and the USA or Vietnam and Finland like they're running in the same race, the real victories of communism are that it has outpaced any even remotely comparable nation in the same timespan despite sanctions and interference, not that a communist party can magically turn Haiti into Denmark in twenty years.

Uhh, human beings and lenient labor law, not to mention palm oil, petroleum, and iron?

It's not like this would be the first time anyways

right? It says so much that all the people who hate communism are the ones who's businesses and family wealth were hurt - you will be looking for a while before you find an average person who lived under communism who hates communism.

Similar metal in the human body one, Vitamin B12 has cobalt in it. Absolutely wild. I guess that's not really commonly known but it's still worth mentioning

this is how I feel about the liberals to be honest, but that's the beauty of lemmy: we can have our instance to talk about communism, and you can have your instance to talk about how much you hate communism.

They'll keep doing it though. Maybe not with this one creator, for the sake of proving that they get final say whenever they want, but all the other anti-vax content will stay up, because it's profitable.

How many dead Ukrainians is Luhansk and Donetsk worth? How many dead Ukrainians is it worth to thrash against a multipolar world for another couple years? Fifty thousand? A hundred? Two? The price doesn't really matter to the beneficiaries, the beneficiaries aren't the ones to pay for it, but it's a good question to think about nonetheless. I personally want fewer dead Ukrainians, but you're entitled to your own feelings too.

wow it's a good thing that we care so much for our Ukrainian friends that we give them all sorts of weapons that are totally safe for them to use

right? It's literally a pan leftist instance, there's anarchist comms and everything. The thing that people are afraid of when they call people tankies isn't any particular ideology, it's just a fear of confident and firm left wing ideology of any sort. In order to not be a tankie, you have to be compromising and undedicated in your left wing beliefs, that's it, that's the criteria.

Yep, they should, nobody should be forced to fight in a war.
