Im not sure how to explain to you that if youre the one declaring what the goal is, you essentially declare yourself the winner. If I declare that the first person to be in space is the winner of the space race, the UDSSR won? It's what the meme is hinting at
A) every single state in this planet is authoritarian. What matters is the class character. Read this: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1872/10/authority.htm
B) habe you considered that the reason the Soviet had everything they needed to absolutely dominate space travel was due to the system they had?
There's no benefit in linking theory. They will read it once, not interpret a single thing of value, and then simply say they don't agree with it even though their view completely contradicts the material reality.
Meh it cost me nothing and the convenient link from other comrades got me to read theory. So I return the favor. I usually post it less for the person im directly talking to and more for the lurkers
