Do you think this is because the leadership is magically nicer for some reason, or because their political/economic system is better able to stay out of conflict?

Lemmy.world already exists unfortunately
I do miss some of the subreddits though
Lol maybe “socialists” who watch vaush or some other pedo
Lmao
Though I guess this is who some of these videos are for. Well meaning (I hope) liberals who are still on the fence about socialism for some reason.
Fucking dumbass didn’t even do 2 seconds of googling lmfao
Just as capitalist states are “authoritarian” against working class interests, socialist states are “authoritarian” against capitalist interests.
The state is a tool for one class to oppress another. The goal of (most) communists is to transition from capitalism — where the capitalist class is in power — to a stateless, classless communist society via socialism — where the working class is in power.
Public perception of which is more “authoritarian” therefore depends on which class is currently in power and is able to manufacture consent, and that is the capitalist class in the vast majority of the world right now since the USSR’s overthrow.
That was in response to the US placing similar missiles in Turkey and Italy and threatening the USSR in 1961.
I don’t see Russia putting an embargo on those two now 60 years later. Though ig that’s not a one-to-one comparison since Russia’s ruled by capitalists now.
When a liberal says they’re a centrist
The centre in question
Wow, the Fediverse is actually visible :0
NATOpedia says “nearly 400 military interventions” for the US, listing this as the source.
China’s is likely referring to the Korean war or the Vietnam war. So it should probably be 2 ig, though for Korea China was firmly on the right side of history.
