  • Well, they didn’t do it in one day. There was a post a few days ago on a documentary about Tibet. It’s from CPC-affiliated media, but it uses Western sources. Someone also commented a link to a CPC article talking about how they did it.

    The PLA basically entered by signing an agreement with the theocratic government and they started growing crops and establishing schools, until reactionaries forces tried to drive out the PLA which invited support from the serfs to change the regime.




  • To add to what OP said, the takeaway is that people should be taking politics elsewhere, making propaganda, picketing, whatever (of course, it’s better under a party, which would organize people in order to achieve some goals, but something, anything, is better than nothing). Electoralism didn’t achieve the 8-hour working day.


  • “Stalin did nothing wrong” is a shit meme because it could be taken as being analogous to the “Hitler did nothing wrong”, the premise being that it’s obvious he mostly did wrong things but saying the contrary, being ironic. Unknowing people will take the former like the latter.

    Now “Stalin shouldn’t have stopped at Berlin” on the other hand…


  • I haven’t heard of any stunningly brilliant and new economic systems being invented…

    You haven’t heard of any because they aren’t profitable, and so all capitalist propaganda is geared towards demonizing those systems or those who vouch for it, or denying they exist altogether.

    This is a socialist instance. We believe a planned economy managed by all workers is the only way for all people to have a dignified life. An example of this would be Cuba. In Cuba housing, food, education and healthcare are rights, to the point it has a higher life expectancy than the US, lower child mortality rate, and basically no homelessness. All under a 60+ year embargo by the US that is a mere 90 miles away.
