Actually, socialists are the evil Chinese-Christian business oligarchs who wants to kill or arrest all the Islamic ulemas, establish a secular state, take over our natural resources, and opress the majority for their and the Chinese Mainland's profit. Source: my country's political discourse. If you think political propaganda in the western world is bad, wait until you see what we're capable of doing.

I don't think you know what the word 'racist' means. I don't have a racist bone in my body. For example, I know plenty of Asians. Good food, exotic women, what's not to like?

This is why so many Americans live in suburbs. It's not racist to acknowledge human nature

White americans live in suburbs because of segregation.

How about we move onto the actual so called "death toll" of socialism? What is it?

I think it's a waste of time to try to come up with death tolls for an idealogy because it's really subjective and you can disagree with something without knowing exactly how many people it killed.

Exotic can mean "interesting". Plus, if that's true many Russians are Racist because they have no problem using the n word, even in childrens books. No, I am not kidding.

dont be ignorant, even a pro-capitalist such as myself realizes capitalism only cares about maximizing profits. This push for regulated capitalism in relatively new in human history. Even now we're struggling with turn and burn for profits policies that created this new market for renewables artificially created by regulations and not as a natural consequence of market correction.

Leftists do not engage in praxis lol, 99 percent of the left are just very online people. The real revolution will be a new brand of communism, probably Paul Cockshott influenced, and with strong democratic elements. I just like expressing my views as a ML online somewhere. The revolution, should it occur, will be a new brand of socialism, one that reconnects us in a semi-spiritual way to our fellow man, and while appreciates Marx, moves beyond both anarchism, Marxism-Leninsm, maoism, and any other former ideologies.

I mean, I agree on some regulation. But saying all companies pump carbon dioxide into the air is strawmanning.
