okay I’m doin a super long thread debunking all the bs in this so let’s get it https://twitter.com/senseiscomrade/status/1299139725761093638
alright I’m starting with this once because this is the most impactful nonsense https://twitter.com/gimmedatsoy/status/1299171210459328513
this take is incorrect because not only does it use a “state capitalist” dog whistle which means I don’t understand what socialism is and how it exists as a transitional stage from capitalism to full stage communism
to state that Marxist-Leninist theory works well in theory but not in practice not only completely disregards what praxis is it ignored the millions of lives that has been in improved by socialism and socialist states
Secondly this take is incorrect because it focuses on a metaphysical concepts “freedom” and also disregards Cuba providing both schooling and healthcare for all of it’s citizens which is definitely a sign of better quality of life https://twitter.com/gimmedatsoy/status/1299171526072299520
this take also disregards the fact that socialism took the USSR from a backwards feudal society to a fully industrialized society able to compete with the US
socialism literally has lifted millions of people out of destitute poverty and/or been used as a tool for liberation
I am not here for sectarian discourse but I’m also not here for US propaganda
this take is full on CIA propaganda notice the “authoritarian” dog whistle (I recommend On Authority by Engles) but if you go to Beijing and insult a party that has 90 million members obviously they aren’t gonna b kind to you https://twitter.com/kanedeantonis/status/1299166215663910914
next yes the USSR did fund western communists obviously they support communism abroad but secondly I would like you to reflect on the sheer number of coups the US preformed in Latin America and compare these to the nazi or imperial japan puppet regimes the USSR desposed of https://twitter.com/kanedeantonis/status/1299163324815302656
Furthermore the US efforts to destabilize global socialism in the name of imperialism should be also recognized the USSR literally isn’t the only socialist state or movement
Also “liberal democracy” is an oxymoron but “robust” is a terrible word to describe it is the military might of capitalist nations combined with the concentrated propaganda effort against socialist states is what is to blame not “liberal democracy”
this ones quick holodomor is nazi propaganda the great purge and the cultural revolution have extremely exaggerated death tolls and the Khmer Rouge was supported by the US https://twitter.com/boonebyway/status/1299165112243191809
this take was answered in the last tweet but I didn’t want this person to feel left out https://twitter.com/sheffraf/status/1299165499541069831
I almost don’t wanna add this one its so obvious but yes socialist ideas tears countries apart internally that’s why Cuba is struggling it’s definitely not the Embargo https://twitter.com/jameslovevani1/status/1299225186097655808
looks like I am the most brain dead
