I've been desperate for a break for two months now, but now that Christmas break has arrived I'm bored out of my mind. Or maybe I'm just overwhelmed by options on what to do. I'll try taking a full pause on computers and read a book or two.
Anyways, I wish joyful celebrations to all here.
To noone's surprise, after the GDF yt channel made much coverage around Israel and its influence over the US, you constantly see antisemitic conspiracy theories being pushed in the comments, unopposed. So fucking disappointing, you would think he would at least engage a little bit with BadEmpanada's critique but no

what do you think about this comment?
Absolutely nobody can argue with 400 million people out of poverty in 40 years.
Of course it's revisionist, though. Even official ideology says it is.
And at this point, it's also clearly state capitalism. The vast majority of goods and services are produced and distributed for profit via the market. Having a decent chunk of this done by commercially-oriented state owned firms doesn't make it socialist.
I don't blame them for having done this- it's almost impossible to survive, let alone thrive, in the capitalist world-system as a socialist state.
But a country with a higher gini coefficient than the US, absolutely rampant consumer culture, rampant labour exploitation, ruling classes composed of investor-bureaucrats, state enterprise executives, and straight capitalists, a huge speculative bubble real estate market (which has paid for local government budgets in recent years), and urban middle classes fixated on entrepreneurship and making money....none of these things are socialist.
OK, so maybe they had to crank up the capital accumulation machine for now so they can build real socialism later? Sounds great, except you're now placing your faith in the millionaire and billionaire capitalists at the top of the party to just dissolve themselves in favour of the working class some day. Good luck.
Is there any other source for thi??
