No? The working class having a formalized organization isn’t self-defeating in any capacity for attaining communism. The party isn’t distinct from the working classes, but an organized section of that class that derives any power it has directly from the broader class.

Where are you getting your understandings of communism from?

Money doesn’t linearly correlate to millitary power, to be clear.

What’s wrong with communism?

Blahaj is consistently better than Lemmy.world. They aren’t great ideologically, but explicitly being a safe space for queer people helps them a lot. .world, on the other hand, consistently has fash takes.

Imperialism is what keeps the global north from aligning with the interests of the global south, and is what keeps the global south underdeveloped and overexploited. Your arguments about imperialism not being impactful in the modern day are hollow, considering its the driving force behind every major war and geopolitical issue, it’s the primary contradiction. An argument against nations on moral grounds, without questioning why and how they form, doesn’t actually explain how we end them.

Join a mass worker organization, like the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Having people dedicated to activism, trained in doing so, with organizational structure in place, is the most effective way for the working classes to unify and wield their collective strength.

B doesn’t inherently mean C is correct, there’s just very strong correlation. It’s useful for quickly guessing, not for actual in-depth analysis. Though, the US did really love the Nazis for a good while, still does.

Both can be true!

That’s the indomitable human spirit at work, we develop the tools we need. We may not live in a just world, but we live in one where we can and will win.

That doesn’t really hold water when the Venezuelan government has been reacting extremely unified and in opposition to imperialism, even Venezuelan opposition.

I’m sorry you have experienced that, comrade. I can only say that the goal is such a society where this kind of bullshit will be a thing of the past.

Yep, Geobbels was even upset at first that the Nazis rediscovered Katyn and thought it would be bad PR for them, before inventing the soviet story.

The global south tends to not like the north as much.

That’s the point of getting organized!

Most Europeans, maybe, not most people.

Depends on who you ask.

The British Empire is neither gone nor forgotten.

It’s merely vassalized, not dead and buried. The UK is still imperialist.

Join an org like PSL and build the mass movement.

Trump is a symptom of the broader problem. His death isn’t the solution, even if it’s justice.
