I don’t think it would be the best system, and perhaps not even very good, but it would probably be better than pure capitalism … at least until capitalism corrupted it.

Not sure if I’d want to live in such a society, but I’d really like to see a place that made a real balance, striking some kind of middle point between communism and capitalism … just to see how it turns out.

Well, sounds like I will continue not looking into using private trackers. Fuck that noise.

“War is good because it ended slavery once, even though it didn’t actually end slavery at all.”

No one believes that Russia is a moral actor in this

You must be talking to different tankies than I am.

This ml thinks slavery was ended in the US.

There are more slaves in the US now than there were in 1860. So tell me again, what is war good for?

Every goddamn war ever.

War is defined by the instigator. Israel’s attacks are not a war of liberation.

No, not really.

But neither of the wars mentioned in this ‘infographic’ are wars of liberation.

You must be seeing some very different wars than the ones I’ve seen.

In the wars I’ve seen, ‘emperors’ are rarely blown up, but vassals getting blown up is extremely common.

Violence is inherently harmful.

Some people and institutions do deserve to be harmed. Those people and institutions are almost never who actually gets harmed in war. War sucks.

Or, war itself is a tool of oppression.

And you’re going to fix this by having one capitalist country blow people up in another capitalist country?

I ain’t got time for a whole damn audiobook. If you want to make a pro-war argument, make it yourself.

Imagine thinking it’s bad to be anti-war.

Oh fuck of with “Ukranian imperialism”.

Anybody know where to find it? It’s not on the bay or any of my usual sources, and general web searches are only turning up news articles about this, not actual torrent links.

Right, so they invaded to stop something that might hypothetically happen in the future.

I’m sure that’s a great consolation to all the people who have been killed.

None of this justifies invasion and war, even in the unlikely event that it’s true.

Is Montenegro Russian territory to be ‘encroached’ on?

And how does invading Ukraine help with that, exactly?

When did that happen? I forget.
