So the Kim Gang weren't/aren't true Scotsmen?
It was an exaggeration, like saying that the US is fascist, that Trump is a moron, or that Hasan Piker, or BadEmpanada, is totally absolutely undeniably right.
Tell me what the definition of communism is and then tell me which country has ever fit that description.
You think calling the US fascist is an exaggeration, lmfao?
IIUC, even the Communists say that communism doesn't exist, and that they were in a socialist phase.
IIRC I've read the term "Actual Socialist Countries".
Fascists have an ideology. Trump pretty well has none, and he'll be gone in 27 months if not sooner.
You are free to protest against Trump in the US; call ICE goons names—scream at them even; IIUC no one has been conscripted in over 50 years; there are still Pride Parades—even now, the US is less homophobic than today's Russia or yesterday's USSR; Trump's party will probably lose a House, maybe 2; and unlike Stalin, IIUC, the US made no treaty with the USSR to carve up a neighbouring country.
I'd say the US is part democracy, part plutocracy, and part kakistocracy, but fascist? not really.
Right. So no countries ever reached communism. Glad we can agree.
Oh man this is getting old. Give me the definition of fascism now, or the 14 tenets or whatever, and we can go through how the US fits most if not all of the markers, lol.
What do you think about the governments of North Korea, the PRC, Cuba, Nicaragua, Maduro's Venezuela, or the former USSR?
wt:fascism
Bingo bango America is fascist, lol.
I hate all governments by the way, some are definitely more worthy of scorn than others though.
Do you think your time is best spent arguing about the government of a small island 90 miles off the coast of Florida that sends free doctors around the world, or the global hegemonic power that's starving the children there to death, who's also responsible for destabilizing the world for the last 80 years?
