No.

how could you support such a regime that murdered many sparrows (and created pol potism, the scariest ideology)

[Thomasi]

If Marx has become ruler of Germany Communism would have worked, because the worlds most intelegent nations would have been executing the Marxist plan vs the the low IQ Russians.

Then why do people like James and SL still exist?

Also why hasn't socialism taken over yet then?

pol pot was a fascist who didn't read anything even remotely related to marxism and was propped up by the CIA

I support workers rights though.

A facist who sure loved communistic agrarian principles like factory farms and collective farms.

as do I, but unions scare me, such as police unions and teacher unions that drove the country into the dirt in the pandemic, and the unions that destroyed detroits auto industry in the 70s and 80s.

take a read through this
it's a bit biased but does a really good deep dive into pol pot

[Sordhau]

So are you more economically left or culturally left?

It is intellectually dishonest to be one and not the other. They are more closely related than American corporate-run media would have you believe.

my ideology is economically left, but culturally right. also ideologies like stalinism and leninism, juche, and most other soviet ideologies are culturally right. What do you think the soviets in the 50s thought of gay rights? The answer is they shot gays in the basement of lubyanka.

Lol. Lmao, even.

Holy racism, Batman!

Pol Pot was utterly deranged and psychotic. I'm not convinced he even had an ideology. Nobody stans for Pol Pot unironically.

I'm aware of the inherent contradictions and hypocrisies of 19th and 20th century Leftists, thank you.

[Tarsonis]

Your entire ideology is literally just Social Democracy. We don't need any more of that nonsense.

It's an improvement, though we need more socialism than that.

Nah, social democracy works. socialism doesn't.

Now thats probably correct. People just make the memes and say they are pol potists to be edgy.

[Vassenor]

See the problem with this sort of accelerationism is the damage it does in the process.

Wake up and witness the damage already being done. There's nothing to lose at this stage. We've lost Roe. We're already likely to lose Griswold, Obergefell, and Lawrence. There's nothing being accomplished by a Democratic majority. Biden is useless, Harris even worse. This is literally the point when replacement of the Democrats would make the most sense.

And your solution is to hand the keys to the people who want to do that to do so entirely unchecked?

1. juche isn't socialist
2. stalinism and leninism are the same thing, "stalinism" is a pejorative made up by anti-soviet "leftists"
3. it's almost like ideologies evolve over time. friendly reminder that the RSFSR was the first country to de facto legalize homosexuality and transgender rights (although they were never codified) and soviet scientists declared that homosexuality was "perfectly natural and should be legally and socially respected" as early as 1925

sure stalin's government went back on that but it's not like everything stalin did was morally correct. the dude wasn't an unfaltering paragon and, surprise surprise, did wrong things. and it's not like stalin did this against the population's will, by 1930 the vast majority of the USSR's citizenry was overwhelmingly anti-gay. not that it was the right stance, but it was the stance of the population.

>"Socialism doesn't work"
>never explain why or how

Damn, looks like I lost another debate!

On top of being anti gay and anti transgender, the soviets were anti abortion, anti minority rights, and very nationalist. Im just not convinced that the soviet union was a left wing state, culturally.

It worked great in cuba! and Venuzuela.

No, my solution is to replace the useless people who aren't stopping them, anyway, from blocking the people who would defeat them. The Republicans are already unchecked. They're just using the States and the Courts to get their way. Biden is a joke. The Democratic Party is a failed party machine that only exists to block the left, not the Republicans. That's all that they even wish to do.

Pol Pot, like Mao read some Western writers' silly racist ideas and became convinced that "forcible population reduction" is the way forwards.
I'm not sure there is anything of value to be gained from these murderous thoughts.
