Their president is an AnCap that nuked social services and critical government infrastructure, took on enourmous loans, and created skyrocketing poverty and unemployment. If socialists were in charge then Argentina would not be in this crisis.

Because it’s run by an AnCap that decided to nuke all social services and sell the entire country out to the IMF and crypto scams.

Citing Radio Free Asia, a CIA-cutout, is pretty absurd. Either way, though, the reason why the people of China support their system and government is because their lived experience has been constant improvement in real, material ways, year over year for many decades in a row. If you know people from China, then you’d know that they spend a ton of time criticizing their government, they just support their system because it genuinely does work at addressing systemic problems.

When you hear that 90%+ support the system, that doesn’t mean 90%+ believe nothing is being done wrong. What it means is that the country is headed in the right direction and the government is doing a good job at addressing real, existing problems.

The US Empure has hundreds of millitary bases all over the world. You can count the number of international military bases owned by China on one hand. The US Empire is constantly at war. China hasn’t been to war in many decades. Entirely different.

Sleep is honestly number 1, followed by diet, before even entering the gym.

To oversimplify, the EU is vassalized by the US Empire and is dependent on it. The US floods the world in dollars and uses this to “tax” the world as a debtor country. The global south isn’t interested in trading dollars for euros. If anything, the yuan may become a new reserve currency in the coming years as Iran is accepting oil through the strait of Hormuz in yuan.

I do mornings. You get used to it!

The treatment of the people of China by the government is why over 90% of the population approves it, which is shown to be consistent and accurate.

I disagree, then.

Then what is?

It’s an RPG with an open world, not a looter shooter with RPG elements.

It’s more that those in the Donbass region have been fighting a war for their own existence against Kiev since 2014. Kiev has far more Nazis than a few small bands.

What are the problems with wanting production and distribution to be collectivized and oriented around needs, rather than profits? How is this comparable to Reddit?

That’s fair, haha.

If you’re a genuine believer then I can understand your despair at seeing a family member cast aside what you believe to be true, dooming herself in your eyes. If I were religious, I would be a disastrous wreck if someone I cared about took that path. However, punishing her, attacking her, or telling her that she will be damned forever will never bring her back to you, it will only solidify this division. She has made her choice.

What you can choose between is alienating her entirely, or welcoming her and respecting her decisions. If it’s the former, you will lose your sister entirely. If it’s the latter, you will retain your sister, and increase the chance she has a change of mind. Having people act cruel to her will only solidify her decisions, it is with kindness that you can change minds.

That all being said, accept that she will likely never return to Islam, whatever you choose to do. It’s her decision either way. Even if you treat her with enormous kindness, that only takes the chances from 0% to ~5% that she will convert to Islam. You have to accept that your choice is between having her in your life and probably never converting, or to have her gone entirely.

I wouldn’t say social media is a good space for intelligent conversations, haha.

Yep, it’s kinda fun that way.

Ukraine is more of a vassal than one of the bigger imperialists, it’s used similarly to how Israel is by the US Empire. It’s itself being harvested for rare Earth minerals and shackled with tons of debt while at the same time being used to attack enemies of the west. Hungary is both a NATO and EU member state, it’s firmly on the side of the imperialist system.

Imperialism essentially is monopoly capitalism at its most developed stage, turned international. In the modern day, the US Empire is at the helm of this, with the EU and other NATO countries being used to protect this system of international extraction. By being in NATO, Hungary plays a part in defending this system, and by being in the EU, it benefits from imperialist spoils.

Usually when people leave reddit, many communists do come and find a much better place here. I think it’s good that we have a lot of left wing people here, and have little tolerance for right-wing and pro-imperialist views.

Many more communists and linux enthusiasts.
