Edit: I did find a “tankie” that says “prolonging the civil war + US occupation would be worse than a Taliban peace”, also coupmed with "the immediate fall of the Afghan military is proof that the Taliban are more legitimate rulers than the US puppet government".

    Imma be contrarian here, it’s cool and fine even if there are zero supporters IF WE ASSUME it is in favor of literally anyone more socialist than the previous guy.

    Literally forcing communism at gunpoint would be moral and based. Who gives a fuck if an invasion is required. Choose a different tact when determining morality. ___

      The most extravagant idea that can arise in a politician's head is to believe that it is enough for a people to invade a foreign country to make it adopt their laws and their constitution. No one loves armed missionaries... The Declaration of the Rights of Man Communism ... is not a lightning bolt which strikes every throne capitalist at the same time... I am far from claiming that our Revolution will not eventually influence the fate of the world... But I say that it will not be today.

      Maximilien Robespierre said that in 1792, 200 years later and it's still just as bad of an idea. I guess you didn't learn shit about America's first 20 year failure occupying Afghanistan?? stop being imperialist

      This is deeply anti-Marxist. Marx recognizes the importance of the process of development and offers us ample reason to believe that you cannot simply press the "establish communism" button in a society and have it work. While the stageist conceit that human forces cannot interact with historical forces is not good, the anti-stageism of ignoring when historical forces overdetermine any human force that might be gathered is just as bad. Some degree of primitive accumulation simply has to happen before you can make a transition to socialism. There must be a large enough urban proletariat to sustain the revolution for the condition of socialism to be maintained. There must be a public will that a state exists for it to have any efficacy, and that means there has to be class consciousness. You can no more go directly from feudalism to socialism without at least some period of accumulation than you can enforce bourgeois democracy on a nation with no means of sustaining a middle class.
