Hey Jacobin, how's your coverage of actually existing socialism going?
:yea:
Damn 2018? Thats kinda pathetic ...Jacobin really jumped on the anti-China new cold war train on the absolute earliest chance it got lmao. Dont even know if neocons and redditors where even pushing the narrative that early
State department doesnt even have to try with these people, just throw some shit at the wall and the anti-communist "we are the good and democratic guys not like these authoritarians" left will reflexively rush to pick it up and scream it from the roofs faster than any lib
“The pure (libertarian) socialists' ideological anticipations remain untainted by existing practice. They do not explain how the manifold functions of a revolutionary society would be organized, how external attack and internal sabotage would be thwarted, how bureaucracy would be avoided, scarce resources allocated, policy differences settled, priorities set, and production and distribution conducted. Instead, they offer vague statements about how the workers themselves will directly own and control the means of production and will arrive at their own solutions through creative struggle. No surprise then that the pure socialists support every revolution except the ones that succeed.” - Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds, emphasis mine.
Yeah I thought they were being sarcastic until I saw the name Victims of Communism.
I can think of one superpower that had a massive campaign to combat Islamic extremism, though they didn't receive much criticism for it
