Because China and Russia are markets to be exploited by capitalist businesses, to not do so would be to deprive one self of potential profit used to gain an upper hand of rival companies. Those countries are anti-west but they are not anti-capitalism. The Russian Federation is capitalist by it's core of government and China happily exploits capitalism for it's own profit gain ever since the right-wing reforms of Deng in the 1990's. The capitalist governments have no qualms of letting their corporations operate in "enemy territory" because it benefits them economically.

And you wanna talk about lack of credibility!? Without a moment of thought you posted that NATO has not committed any atrocity while you obviously have enough growth of person to be able to write and post on Reddit to have at least partially lived through the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan BY NATO for the past 20 years. You who obviously come from a subreddit that describes itself as "We do not hold any kind of political leaning" in the most dumbfounded way while having user flairs as "Manifest Destiny" and having such obvious libertarian point of views it makes Reagan masturbate furiously in his grave! Fuck KINDLY off!

Yes. I do. Without pause.

For NATO is a protector of capitalist interests within the western sphere of influence, corporations are the interests of capitalist governments and those atrocities are rarely without government backing to protect them.

And yes, I include the pre-NATO atrocities as well, for NATO is comprised of those criminals who committed them, all in the name of capitalism.

NATO isn't some fucking organisation of "peace" and "safety", it is an organisation primarily founded to protect capitalism and protect capitalism ABOVE ALL ELSE NO MATTER THE COST.

Your rage against Russian Imperialism have blinded you against the still-ongoing imperialism of the west. The fact that you have completely forgotten the past 20 fucking years of illegal occupation, looting and killing of the Middle East thanks to NATO is goddamn baffling and disgusting.

GAMERS RISE UP by DunkNL in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Keasar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then what on Earth are we bickering about? :P

If the problem was the USSR itself I am not gonna argue against you but the premise of the conversation was that "only capitalism could give video games" which I emphatically disagree with and I used examples that entertainment can come from a non-capitalist system as well.

GAMERS RISE UP by DunkNL in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Keasar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is quite literally a meme of an old Soviet cartoon production of Treasure Island going around. You saying that cartoon is now a collective fantasy and doesn't really exist? The USSR had a big cultural focus, just not as big as the US. economy could allow it's own, and mostly focused on tried and tested entertainment medium like radio, television, music, theatre etc.

GAMERS RISE UP by DunkNL in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Keasar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t change the fact that cultural entertainment production can happen outside a capitalist socioeconomic system. Its only about materialistic conditions that allows for the further development where America towards the end of 1980 was incredibly rich, the USSR was drawing its last breaths.

Its like saying that technological and scientific development can only happen in capitalism while completely disregarding for example the many firsts the USSR was in space development including the first satellite, creature to space, man to space, woman to space, space walk, space station, object on the moon, object on Mars, object on Venus etc.

And that was essentially the worst condition of the socialist development, imagine the possibility had the RFSFR still existed as a democratically led union.

No, the blame for the existence of video games at all is a lone scientist at a university in the US. making one for basically the academic version of shit and giggles.

And the most popular game ever made in the history so far was made in the Soviet Union.

None.

There is only the best people and that's the international working class.

I never once claimed those countries were great either.

None is great under capitalism. Just great at exploitation.

Not in education, health, social benefits, job security, lack of corruption, womens rights, LGBTQ rights, lack of police murders, political accountability, average wage among workers, prevention of pollution, green energy, foreign interventions, not supporting dictatorships across the globe and many more.

If you wanna join however the most expensive military on Earth and bomb some innocent brown children in the Middle East, you have come to the right place! Congratulations!

The thousands of people singing The International in the clip I linked you earlier do.

And they are becoming more as your socioeconomic system keeps failing the working class each year.

The only thing you need to take into consideration in the end is this: when the people rise up in revolution, will you join the masses of the workers wanting to create a decent life for all or will you take to weapons to kill your fellow man to defend capital and the status quo? Which side will you be on?

Goodbye.

And that's where you fail to understand socialism and what I, a Trotskyist, fight for when thinking it's about "bigger state".

I want *more* democracy. I want power taken from the bourgeoisie political elite class and the rich who control our media, our politicians, our police and our work place and give all that power to the people directly. I want true democracy dictated and defined by the majority of people on this Earth, not the dictatorship minority of the capital owners.

That part is literally within my quote. I took that into account. And I still say fuck landlords.

Do you take into account the hundreds of thousands of civilians who have died thanks to American weapons in the illegal invasion of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria etc. or do you go "Acceptable losses"? Do you reflect on that? I have a strong feeling you don't. Ever.

Yeah I wonder why people start singing La´Internationale 30 years after the fall of the Soviet Union and capitalism has failed to live up to it's promises, instead becoming worse and worse.

Also I love you post one of the things from Mao's China that succeeded, in the hope of making communism look bad without really reading this:

Landlords — whose status was theoretically defined through the percentage of income derived from exploitation as opposed to labor — had their land confiscated and they were subjected to mass killing by the CCP and former tenants, with the estimated death toll ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions. The campaign resulted in hundreds of millions of peasants receiving a plot of land for the first time.

Hundreds of millions of peasants finally had land of their own. They finally owned their own labour and profited themselves. And the only loss was exploitative landlords.

Worth it.
