They Live is a documentary, the thing missing in that film is that anarchists apparently believe themselves to be woke by parroting nonce-sense. Literally retweeting reptile thought to justify their adolescent anti-statist idealism at the C4SS
Cuban healthcare statistics are flawed.
The health achievements are in part the result of repressive methods.
The health achievements are in part the result of policies that are unrelated to health care provision.
fascist death cultist cope
we point out that it is unsurprising to see some dictatorships performing well with regard to health indicators due to their ability to forcibly mandate the allocation of resources towards achieving the regime’s objectives.
a planned economy cares about human life and doesn't treat people as soulless transaction bots, that's evil to repress the free market!!!
we point out that some dictators have an incentive to invest in healthcare if it serves to bolster their regime.
capitalists have no incentive to invest in the health of their disposable slaves :epstein:
Cuba only keeps their life expectancy high so they can fuck you over for longer!!!!
This a particular kind of online-psy-op-esque anarchist that spouts this shit, like V*ush. Talk to irl Anarchists at your local IWW, local Food Not Bombs, or even an anarchist group in your local DSA (hey, they exist there too) instead of twitter.
Theres an ongoing op to keep the red and black split and at each others throats instead of maintaining a united front against capitalism in the interest of literally saving the planet and the capacity for human civilization. We dont have time to make these little snipes.
Believe nothing you see from online or TV and maintain a level of criticality/keep your head on a swivel about anyone like Chomsky that have been made a central part of institutions or been crowned leaders by the media especially it they're from the West.
The more and more I read about chomsky the more he seems like he was engineered in a lab to shunt leftists into lib respectability politics. Like he says all the things that the USA does that are monstrous, but then goes out of his way to slander any actual radical praxis. This leaves people feeling like they accomplished something because they have attained knowledge, but no next step for actualization.
then goes out of his way to slander any actual radical praxis.
When does he do this though? He might be critical of some states but I can't recall him ever criticizing any grassroots movements or anything, but there might be a gap in my knowledge
What does this have anything to do with anarchists other than a weak attempt to dunk on them cus this guy works for the fucking Cato institute. Lmao.
Also obligatory :jesse-wtf:
They call themselves anarchist, sure. The guy that runs it is a proponent of the Austrian school of economics though so maybe I'm taking the L by saying this but I don't think you can actually be a proponent of private property and be an anarchist.
Also this guy doesn't seem to work for the C4SS he's more recently worked for the Cato institute? I just don't see how they fit in other than Jesse wanting to drve by dunk on them
Maybe they argue that private property is at odds with individuals' self-interest or something, so in a true "free market" it wouldn't exist. I'm pretty sure they're at least opposed to capitalism in theory.
I mean they're clowns, regardless.
Yea but they're "market anarchist", they're basically ancaps trying to pass themselves off as left wing anarchists.
remember when blackwater changed their name to academi?
The domain of his article is academic.oup.com .... Academi ... Coup
I'm not sure what your post is meant to be about though, this guy is clearly not an arnarchist
The health achievements are in part the result of policies that are unrelated to health care provision.
And? "Cubans live a longer and healthier life, but needed multiple policies to achieve that so it doesn't count "
It’s better to get 20 mri scans and die at 60 than to live to 70 :shrug-outta-hecks:
In that respect, @JamiePavlik and I pointed out that Cuba performs pretty much in line with what could have been reasonably be expected absent the revolution
Absolute clown shit
Their capitalist neighbor next door, Haiti, is a well known economic powerhouse.
:walter:
I don't know the story behind this emoji but I'm in love with it :lenin-heart:
Oh no they’re repressing the rights of viruses by forcing people to get vaccines :sicko-no:
Reminds me of when some lib human rights NGO (forget which one, but it was one of the big ones) tried claiming that Cuban doctors having to do medical work in other countries to get their degrees is slavery.
I wish these people would just read what they write:
we point out that some dictators have an incentive to invest in healthcare if it serves to bolster their regime.
