It is the communist movements that you decry as 'replacing oppressors of yesterday with the oppressors of today' that have managed to massively improve people's lives. They are the ones that fought against colonialism and capitalism and achieved some success. Not the people who whine about how bad we are and then just side with the colonial metropoles that exterminate and enslave the rest of the world.
The sort of actions and policies that we support have been proven to work for the liberation of humanity. You have been proven to work for the world's enslavement.
Well, we are going to have to disagree a bit. I don’t accept any oppressor as a step forward.
Right.
For you, there is no difference between (people being forced to work 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, having no guaranteed access to housing, education and healthcare, women not being protected from marital SA, having a life expectancy of 30 or so years), and literally the opposite with life expectancy rising by 60% within 30 years.
You also see no difference between literal old-style colonialism and the lack thereof. Literal pro-colonial white European child is what you are.
Please, tell us more about compassion and how bad we want to 'oppress' people by giving women fundamental rights, providing people in general with essential needs, including housing and healthcare, eliminating illiteracy, etc.
EDIT: if you want colonialism so much, why don't you volunteer to be treated as people were treated under the Red Rubber laws?
Also, it's funny how you don't want any authority over you, but want to subjugate non-white people as your slave and near-slaves
What? I have no idea where you got that. You just read whatever you want?
This is my problem, you just make shit up. I want everything in your last paragraph. We don’t need to have an oppressive government to make that happen.
Either you do not actually speak about any movement that we support, or you don't see any difference between before and after they succeeded. Which is it?
I literally listed some of the things that the USSR managed to achieve within the first 30 years of its existence. Pretty sure almost all of that also applies to the PRC (just with the different starting line expectancy).
Cool. Then you want the USST, the PRC, Cuba, liberated Korea, etc.
You claim that every movement that achieved those things was 'oppressive'. As such, this claim of yours is unsupported.
EDIT: Also, what is your plan for defending against a NATO invasion?
No response lol
