Did you mean to write “I defended Uyghurs from etc”?

This should be young hot Stalin!

My concern is what to do with them after a revolution. I mean yeah material conditions will change over that time (it’s certainly not happening tomorrow) it’s just…they’re very artificial,

Wow comrade that’s hardly a reason to

but they are homes for people. Idk

Oh! Houses, of course haha, yeah what do we do with them after the revolution?

Little known fact, it also seems to imply no actual literal murdering people

For Marxists value comes from labour. If the pay you get for one hour of your labour allows you to purchase goods that take 50 hours of labour to produce in the Global South (which is approximately the case if you live in the imperial core), you benefit from exploitation of the cheap labour in the Global South.

Sorry, I shouldn’t be so combative. Thank you for taking the time to read it.

It seems to me that

Instead of making things up you could read e.g. this:

Chapter 5 answers your question but I recommend you read the whole thing to get the entire argument.

Basically just that NATO encroachment is a genuine security concern for Russia. Also that Russia tried to cooperate with the West but as an equal, and was rejected cause USA wanted to keep dominance.

Thank you, found the source, she’s not exactly saying that though.

Minsk Agreements, later exposed as a Western ploy to buy time while militarizing Ukraine.

Do you have a source for that?

So you see, that’s where the trouble began.

he says US domination has brought us decades of peace and economic stability…

A lib channel released the most limp-dicked both-sides narrative possible and libs are having an absolute meltdown in the comments because they can accept nothing but outright Sino/Russophobia and fanning the flames of war: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwxNI_OByVc

Libs are yearning for the trenches. We’re all going to die. That is all.

I’ve seen enough “Triumph Over Violence” to know where this is going.

American leftists are more principled

I’m sorry, I don’t mean to diss Christianity as such! I do think Bible itself offers little to Marxists but there’s more to Christian history and tradition.

I’ll be honest, I never looked deeper into this. I was a militant atheist for most of my life and I’m only starting to broaden my horizons, hence my harsh initial reply for which I apologise. Old habits die hard I guess. Our enemy is capital, not religion.

I love Georgia and I wish you lasting peace and true sovereinty.

Bible is extremely self contradictory, you can fish out quotes to support nearly anything, as proven by history over and over: https://philb61.github.io/

What Bible simply does not offer however, is a direct condemnation of slavery which would only take one short passage. There’s nothing to counterbalance the quote I pasted above, or the quote from the old Testament discussed here: https://time.com/5171819/christianity-slavery-book-excerpt/

Given how self contradictory the Bible is, support for slavery is one of the very few points you can get from it with any level of certainty. You can do some mental gymnastics and infer a condemnation of slavery from general statements like “setting the oppressed free”, but then you can make pretty much any other concievable point by selecting the passages that can be interpreted to support your point, and ignoring the passages where your point is directly and explicitly refuted.

No idea why you’re being downvoted comrade.

New Testament was written in the time of widespread slavery and this is what it had to offer:

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and trembling, in singleness of heart, as you obey Christ, not with a slavery performed merely for looks, to please people, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul. Render service with enthusiasm, as for the Lord and not for humans, knowing that whatever good we do, we will receive the same again from the Lord, whether we are enslaved or free.

Pretty sure if capitalism existed at that time, it would have the same advice to give wage slaves.
