• In fact, I would argue that democratic societies experience fewer atrocities because their governments are beholden to the people and do not have absolute power.

    The reality is because you’re too busy inflicting them on everyone else, and to people it’s socially acceptable to hate within in your society (criminals, homeless people, ethnic minorities).

    Wars are an inevitable part of human society.

    muh human nature, pay no attention to the material conditions behind the curtain marx-goth

      I don’t think it is social acceptable to hate people. But as far as I’m concerned what you’re saying is a non sequitur.

      Lol, because the USSR and China never got involved in wars, okay. Communism doesn’t prevent wars and in fact the scarcity of resources communists societies generate would probably cause wars.

        You seem to fall right in line when it comes to the russophobia, Communists saved the world from fascism and you guys can’t seem to forgive them for that.

        And you already made it clear that your consideration for people ends at your national borders, that’s a pretty hateful mentality, especially when you’re using your “democratically controlled” military and economic influence to coerce weaker countries into shitty deals.

          I’m ethnically Russian thanks. My family where Russian-Jewish fur traders from Siberia. I don’t have anything against the Russian people.

          Communists and Capitalists saved the world together.

          No, I care about what happens across national borders.

          • I don’t care what ethnicity you are, you’re repeating the same shit about how everyone saying anything other than CNN talking points is a russian or chinese bot, fuck off.

            Communists and Capitalists saved the world together.

            lmao okay yang gang

            No, I care about what happens across national borders.

            Yeah no shit, you pretty clearly want to make sure the resources keep coming from there, but for the brown people to stay where they are.
