      Call me ignorant, what do we call victory? They’re capitalist today, not a commune. Yes, they’re not occupied or genocided, but they lost their identity and values by becoming capitalist as a result of the war. Because it was that or famine under trade chokehold. We have different definitions of victory I feel.

        If you’re expecting me to say Communist is the way to go… you’re on the wrong instance. Capitalism has its flaws, but acting like communism is what needs to replace it, is a fucking joke. Capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than any other system ever. It definitely has its issues and can be done better, but as someone who has a large part of my family from exsoviet countries…not a fuckin chance I want that shit anywhere near me.
