These are the facts and I could give you charts with the soviet export.

Why say I could and not do it? If you have sources, give them. You haven't linked any source whatsoever in this entire thread to back up your wild claims.

There is no better option, there is no lesser evil between the two. Both party are the same evil with a different presentation.

How is a Harris win better for Gaza? You peoples can never explain this. You take for granted that the Democrats are always less bad no matter what they do and try to force this assumption onto everyone else by trying to force discussions to start from this assumption, so that you don't have to talk about it. And whenever someone doesn't bite and insist that you showing evidence that the Dems are less bad than the Reps, you get angry, rant about Trump, try ad-hoc explanation to try to hanwave away the very bad things the Dems are openly doing and when that still doesn't work you try to handwave away every arguments against you by calling us trolls or bots or secret Trump supporters.

If you had any leg to stand on there, you obviously wouldn't be doing that. Because all you would have to do is to point out to us your evidences that the Democrats are less evil than the Republicans.

But since you don't have any, the only way for you to "win" that argument is to lash out and come up with ad-hoc explanations as to why arguments against you thesis have to be wrong by default without having to think about the arguments themselves.

She promised to continue building the Trump border wall, to continue supporting Israel's genocide and to make the US military "the most lethal in the world". Pretty sure she'll keep these ones too.

Given how the Democrats' seems ok ignoring voters to their left to carter to more right wing voters, and that the convinced Democrat voters' like to pretend their party hasn't done anything wrong and totally isn't slipping more and more to the right, I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Reminder that Hitler lost the 1933 election, it was the social democrat candidate who was supposed to beat Hitler who appointed him as chancellor of the Wiemar republic.

Ha yes, you can just do that. It's totally not out of reach for all the peoples who have to work 2~3 jobs at once and still can't save any money because even the basic necessities for survival are sold at extortion prices not to mention possible medical, college debt or mortgages.

You're confusing private property with personal property. While this is a very common mistake, you can't claim to have an informed opinion about communism while still making it, it's 101 level stuff.

Further, you are also making the other very common error of assuming the state is oppressive because it is like some kind of monolith somehow cut off from the rest of society as though the peoples staffing it weren't as much part of society as everyone else, this is not the case, whether a state apparatus is oppressive and against whom it is oppressive is dictated by the class character of the state, a factor that is systematically neglected by the peoples using variations of "power always corrupt" truisms to "analyze" a state.

tl;dr: you're knowledge of communism and communist theory and praxis is very surface level at best, go read some reading list from prolewiki's library, To criticize something you need to know at least the basics of it first.

I created a TankieTube channel called The tankie playlist to store my leftist music playlist in case youtube takes them down and so I can have an ad free experience and share music I like with comrades while I'm at it.

I have posted 94 music (including variations of a same song).

Enjoy 😉 🎶

So, back when I was a social-democrat slightly intrigued by communism I tried to listen to "both sides" to form my opinion and so I looked for videos from both communists and anti-communists. Out of the few things I watched I retained mostly, "Debunking every anti-communist argument ever" by spooky scary socialist on the pro-communist side and this series of 3 videos on the anti-communist side:

Marx, responsable des goulags ? La lutte des classes

Critique de la lutte des classes selon Karl Marx

Critique de l'économie selon Karl Marx

Those 3 struck me as relatively convincing at the time (I knew nothing about Marxism whatsoever back then).

Recently, seeing recommended videos from this channel made me look back and wonder how I would see these same videos now as a Marxist-Leninist and after procrastinating it for months I finally decided to re-watch them. And low and behold, they are dumb.

The youtuber makes a big show of explaining his bare minimum knowledge and shaky comprehension of Marx's writings which makes it looks like he know what he's talking about to the uninitiated but it's really mainly the old anti-communist drivel: denying class struggle and the labor theory of value, pretending that communists want a perfect utopia and say "that wasn't real communism" when AES are brought up, pretending that Marx was an accelerationist, etc...

I would be interested in having other MLs opinions on this brainrot, especially since for better or for worst it has been part of my political evolution.
