40-ish years of military dictatorship, but they made a 228 park so it’s okay

There was disagreement over if the US fits the label

I’ve got an easier one for you that should help you to understand. The policy of colonies regarding the population within its borders counts as “internal”, don’t they? What shall we say for the colonial occupation of Afghanistan? Shall we call this liberal?

Come to think of it, what do you think of non-citizen permanent residents, because America sure likes killing those within its borders and treating the rest quite brutally.

that go beyond those necessary for the health and welfare of other citizens.

What do you think of Chile under Allende? Do you think it met this standard?

I believe they are suggesting that, if “authoritarian” means anything, that every large state that has ever existed was “authoritarian,” though some diffuse the authority through things like enclosure of the commons combined with strict property laws or other, older methods like religious law.

“Marxism is when you capitulate to revolts from a small part of the population, with no concern for protecting the project that the majority supports”

In the words of Knuckles the Echidna: “The communists are censoring you? Damn, I wish it worked. Shut the fuck up.”

People have been talking like this since the advent of civil society. As people age, the poorer ones often die and the class interests of the wealthier ones change and they become an all-to-appropriate replacement for the generation that died off.

There’s a lot of money to be made off of incels and dumb kids

What the fuck

Well, at least the Soviets never rehabilitated him. Who gives a damn what Federation liberals say . . .

Sorry, I was being facetious there. Yes, it was the Nord Stream pipeline that Russia used to sell gas to Europe, which was 4 lines, of which 3 were destroyed. My joke was that the pipeline was all over the news (along with those accusations) for a good while, unlike the prison bombing which was basically a one-cycle story.

I don’t think that the Germans had the popular support of Sudetenland in their annexation.

There is no such thing as a neutral analyst but yes, even neoliberals talked about the civil war at one point and the Nazi problem and the pogroms and so on. Given this, and given the popular support Russia has among the people of that same region, and that it tried for 8 years to negotiate peaceful secession while Ukraine participated in those talks in bad faith, it sure seems like something very different from, and I cannot stress this enough, flying to the opposite side of the world to carpet bomb in the name of freedom and in the service of oil companies.

I see, my mistake, though from a descriptivist standpoint a meaning that a word long-since lost and one that it never had are virtually the same thing on a functional level

I don’t think I called you racist to start with, but my point was that just because something is called by X name in one context by one group of people and Y in another context by another group does not mean both names are equally valid. When it comes to political entities, typically the belief is that the group itself decides on its own name (like Kiev officially becoming Kyiv in English, to take a recent example). The CPC says that its name is the CPC. Western journos who want their readership to hate the Party call it the CCP. These are not equally valid bases for what to call something.

“In English they call themselves the Vietnamese, but everyone in my neighborhood calls them ****s. It’s both.”

You lean really hard on Wikipedia and Google for your leftist theory, I must say
