A 22-year-old woman will face charges for holding up a sign that said “fuck imperialism,” while a man was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police van for asking who elected King Charles III.
No society can function without hypocrisy, no really, you have to lie to people to keep the state moving. Do you honestly think a president or prime minister could just say the truth about everything? “As president I promise that I’ll only assassinate maybe a dozen people, I’ll only kill 50,000 in a war, and Ill defraud the retirement accounts of only the bottom 3% of the country” people would riot.
Communists believe in a state, and I stand by what I said, lying to the people is necessary for a well oiled social machine to function, if lying is the carrot then the stick is truth. If there’s gonna be a treat shortage you sometimes need to lie to stop a treats riot. If greed is good then lying is holy. :Elim-Garak:

Quite obviously I do not. I'm not sure what this comment is getting at.
:bruh: you're on a far-left forum. It's pretty much all communists and anarchists here.
