I've listened to the TrueAnon podcast and I have mixed feelings about Brace Belden. I feel like if I call him a war tourist I'll get hounded by the same people who call the US troops baby bayonetters. I think war is awful, I think an American seeking it out in a foreign land is not right in the head. I don't think there's any ideology out there worth sacrificing your life or killing for, history is not determined by individual men after all. That's why I don't respect Brace Belden's military service, he got involved with a conflict he had no reason being in, he has blood on his hands. I'm glad he moved on with his life and became a podcaster because the alternative for him would probably be an act of terrorism from what I've heard him say on that podcast. In conclusion fuck the troops, all of y'all are stupid.

    First off feudalism is not capitalism and second every communist state so far has come from feudalist societies. Maybe communism will replace capitalism, seems like the opposite happened in Russia and China, seems like state capitalism is the most effective at lifting the most people out of poverty, and keeping their wages at competitive levels internationally.

    Feudalism, capitalism, communism is supposed to be some natural progression but it took millennia for it to happen with feudalism to capitalism, who's to say it won't take another thousand years to leave behind capitalism?

      This is very interesting to consider. Capitalist states had hundreds of years of colonial slavery to build up resources. Communist countries had feudal backwaters to start from. Is it not impressive how they still managed to overtake the capitalists in many of the most basic metrics of human wellbeing, without plundering and genociding the global south in the process?

      We don't have thousands of years to leave behind capitalism. The climate catastrophes it already causing in warmer regions leave us little choice. It's hopelessly naive to think that those problems won't reach colder regions eventually.

        Russia had an entire colonial project to its east, it's called Siberia. And don't get started on the countries they "liberated" after ww2.

          In what ways do you think Siberia is comparable to South Africa? The southern slave states? India? Don't get started on the amount of literal nazis in the "liberation" movements in eastern Europe?

            Liberal Capitalism ended apartheid, it ended segregation, it ended communism, we are heading towards a future of Reaganomics with woke characteristics.

              Still to this day there are ICE camps and white coke snorters putting black weed smokers in gulags for most of their adult lives. Liberals would never have bothered to put on the act if not for the communist movements abroad and at home. With communism dead, the "wokeness" is thoroughly emptied of content. Whatever progress was made in the latter half of the 20th century is undone in the 21st.

                    You believe that you can literally choose your sex, can't even respond to it, just massive amounts of cope and no response because you have none, your ideology is a religion to you.

                  I'm sure you've heard this 1000 times but in case it takes 1001 tries to get it into your thick head: Why is is wherever poor people go crime skyrockets? Could it be that being poor in a capitalist country is fucking miserable and you need money by whatever means? Poor white people do just as much shit as poor black people. Rich black people are just as depraved as rich white people too.

      You fucking Bell-end the industrial revolution and the beginnings of capitalism was only 260 years ago, our great grand parents literally were born to that world where the fucking concept of sliced bread was foreign then died when there are motherfuckers living in SPACE.

      The "millenia" it took for capitalism to replace feudalism happened faster than the time it took after Jesus's fucking death for the fucking Roman's to stop feeding catholics to the lions, with the The Edict of Serdica and Edict of Milan respectively.

      Shut the fuck up with your stupid attempts of "gotcha" remarks you fucking moron

            Im serious, you people don't even believe in basic biology yet you are vocal proponents of an ideology that literally killed 100 million people. You overlook the fact capitalist systems have treated the LGBT better than communists ever have yet somehow this small sect of gays here have become ideologues of an ideology that wants to eradicate you. You people are blood thirsty suicidal warmongers with a bigger hard on for war than the bush administration. Go fight it, I dare you, you'll fail because communism doesn't work time and time again people try it and it reverts back into capitalism. Communism is when no food.

      'state capitalism' when used to develop the productive forces necessary to do a communism is how communism was capable of forming from feudal states.

      As for your second paragraph me. I am to say. I just said it. We're gonna do it now.
