@genHCM I don't disagree with the first part, but the conclusions are bonkers. Serious crimes like murder are underreported in authoritarian places because they want the numbers to give a false sense of security around their rule. Then, the "how safe you feel" bit is completely useless.

@sofocletus @pwplume @brivael According to you having dignity = no healthcare, homeless, illiterate. Or as a Westerner if you want to avoid being in that category you can join the military and murder women and children

@Assdassfer @pwplume @brivael That's the dumbest thing I've read all day.
Communism robs people of their dignity, and this is an example.

Hello Julia, sans aucune ironie, c'est top que tu prennes le temps de te renseigner. Mais le problème quand on lit Marx aujourd'hui, c'est qu'on prend pour acquis sa prémisse de départ, alors qu'elle a été démontée scientifiquement il y a plus de 150 ans.
Toute la pensée de Marx repose sur la théorie de la valeur-travail. L'idée que la valeur d'un bien vient de la quantité de travail nécessaire pour le produire. Si tu acceptes cette prémisse, alors oui, tout son raisonnement tient. Le capitaliste "vole" la plus-value du travailleur, l'exploitation est mathématique, la révolution est inévitable.
Sauf qu'en 1871, trois économistes (Menger en Autriche, Jevons en Angleterre, Walras en Suisse) découvrent indépendamment la même chose : la valeur n'est pas objective, elle est subjective et marginale.
Un verre d'eau dans le désert vaut une fortune. Le même verre à côté d'une rivière ne vaut rien. Le travail incorporé est identique. Donc le travail ne détermine pas la valeur. C'est le consommateur qui valorise un bien selon son utilité marginale dans un contexte donné.
Exemple concret : tu peux passer 1000 heures à tricoter un pull moche que personne ne veut. Selon Marx, ce pull a énormément de valeur (beaucoup de travail incorporé). Selon la réalité, il ne vaut rien. Parce que personne n'en veut.
À l'inverse, Bernard Arnault crée des milliards de valeur non pas parce qu'il "exploite" mais parce qu'il a su anticiper et organiser des désirs humains à grande échelle. La valeur est créée par la coordination, pas extraite par le vol.
Cette découverte (la révolution marginaliste) a invalidé tout l'édifice marxiste. Pas pour des raisons idéologiques, pour des raisons scientifiques. C'est pour ça que plus aucun département d'économie sérieux au monde n'enseigne Marx comme un cadre d'analyse valide. On l'enseigne en histoire de la pensée.
Maintenant, le truc important. Si ton intention en lisant Marx c'est d'aider les pauvres (c'est une intention noble), alors tu vas être surprise par ce qui suit.
Regarde les chiffres de la Banque mondiale. En 1820, 90% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Cette chute historique ne s'est PAS produite dans les pays qui ont appliqué Marx. Elle s'est produite dans les pays qui ont libéralisé leur économie.
Chine post-1978, Vietnam post-1986, Inde post-1991, Pologne post-1989. À chaque fois qu'un pays libéralise, des centaines de millions de gens sortent de la pauvreté en une génération. À chaque fois qu'un pays applique Marx (URSS, Cambodge, Corée du Nord, Venezuela), c'est la famine et les goulags.
Ce n'est pas une opinion, c'est l'expérience la plus massive jamais menée en sciences sociales. Plusieurs milliards de cobayes humains, sur un siècle.
Donc paradoxalement, si tu aimes vraiment les pauvres, la position la plus cohérente n'est pas d'être marxiste. C'est d'être pour la liberté économique. Parce que c'est empiriquement la seule chose qui a jamais sorti massivement les gens de la misère.
Pour creuser, je te recommande trois lectures qui vont changer ta vision :
"La Loi" de Frédéric Bastiat (court, lumineux, gratuit en ligne)
"La Route de la Servitude" de Hayek
"Économie en une leçon" de Henry Hazlitt
Bonne lecture, et vraiment chapeau de chercher à comprendre plutôt que de rester dans tes certitudes. C'est rare.

Depuis tout à l'heure je me renseigne sur les idées de Karl Marx sincèrement je n'arrive pas à comprendre comment on peut être pour le capitalisme et même plus généralement être de droite

@resistancestan @kaisoKG Nazi ideology and propaganda infiltrated societies and power structures across multiple countries between 1933 and 1939.
This is why Stalin's purges were so vital.

@khrachvik Because it's impossible to win an argument with an idiot.

Why is it that zero of the influencers getting paid to sell you ridiculous fairy stories about Communism coming to dance with your grandma and kill all the white babies (or whatever the current narrative is) have the balls to debate it?
I think it's because debate against a real Communist would expose them as the frauds they are.
What do you think? Seriously. Asking for guesses here.

@grok, about how many Russians did Stalin kill via the famines he precipitated about 1932 by the forced collectivization of the farms?
How many Russians did Stalin kill in his purges of the late 1930’s to consolidate his power?
How many Russians died by Stalins’s decapitation of the senior Red Army Officer corps via his purge about 1937 and the subsequent inability of the Red Army to initially beat the Finns in the 1939 Winter War and inability to stop Hitler’s invasion of June 1941?

This is one for the private owners of @AdelaideAirport - the industry super funds and their Macquarie Bank partners.
BTW, to whom is the $400 fine paid - the city or state government, or the private owners?
If the owners, does this guy get a bonus for being a dick?

Former Delta Force commander Pete Blaber tells Americans the truth about the SMO.
'I have some contacts – one in the State Department, two in the intelligence community, and another friend who works there as a long-term contractor. We met in Los Angeles, and they told me everything, and I thought, "Damn." They asked, "Can you get this out?" And I said, "Yes, I feel it's my duty to voice it." Currently, according to their data, approximately 1.25 million Ukrainian soldiers have died. They've been losing about a thousand people a day, every day through 2025. Those are incredible numbers.'
'The main question from the start should be: why is there no coverage of the war in Ukraine? And I'll tell you why there isn't. Because if this is widely reported, the [Western] propaganda stories that are being spread will be exposed. In fact, in every city the Russians capture, they are greeted as liberators. People come out and celebrate when Russian troops arrive, telling stories of the harsh conditions they lived in due to the presence of the Ukrainian army in their city.

So consumers possibly overpaid, what happens if there found guilty? Where do the fines go? How about instead of paying a fine they’re forced to pass on discounted prices on groceries so it comes back to the consumers? They literally alternate “discounts”on products biweekly.

NKVD archives (opened post-1991) show ~15-20M Soviet repression deaths overall, vast majority under Stalin. Collectivization famines 1930-33: 5.7-8.7M excess deaths USSR-wide (incl. 1-2M+ in RSFSR/Russians). Great Purge executions: ~700k-1.2M documented. Military purge 1937-38: ~10-15k officers executed/died (not 150k). Sources: Wheatcroft, Ellman, Werth, Applebaum + Russian historians. What's your exact figure & source?

@therealbjhawley @Its_ereko Aside from your incoherent babbling you're yet to provide a shred of proof for any of your claims

@Assdassfer @Its_ereko OMFG. seriously. go on tell me. Exactly how many Russians died in the famine's due to collectivisation, the purge of universities political Social local government, not sending the 150,000 Russian servicemen that stole an executed in the 1930s as part of the 5-year plans

🚨🇷🇺 BREAKING: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is pushing for international recognition of Nazi crimes against Soviet civilians as genocide. 14 million civilian victims. The scale matches the Holocaust. The world has remembered Jewish suffering. It has forgotten Slavic suffering. That is not justice. That is selective memory. Russia is demanding the record be corrected.
The Nuremberg Tribunal laid the foundation. Now, Moscow wants the world to finish the work. Get this in front of as many eyes as possible. Genocide has no statute of limitations. And no exceptions
