Of course they aren’t. But usa is not a theocracy. It’s not run by a head of church nor anything close
The usa is a fascist state. Not a the3orcacy
Is theocracies being trash racism?
Ignore the genocide that y’all love to lie about. Ignore the oppression of their own citizens. Ignore the fascist take over of hong kong. Ignore that only their approved candidates can hold office. Ignore the disappearing of citizens. Both are godawful Nations.
Being able to fight for rights without spilling blood was a hard fought privilege. Blood spilling is not the only way to succeed. Though I will not deny it works, safer options should not be fully scorned.
You do understand why that is, right? It’s because it’s not meant to be a government, so pacts that won’t be enforceable without certain countries are capable of being denied by said countries for the most part. Because it’s diplomacy, not a government . Nothing stops the “yes” voting countries from making pacts with each other to go with the resolutions as well. Not doing that when usa votes no should show you something about their actual thoughts
I mean literally no, Communism is about far more than just cheaper groceries. Communism is about overthrowing capitalism;of course capital is afraid of it, even though they deserve it
Abstaining and even voting yes on the matter simply because they know for certain that the usa will vote no, allowing them to save face. Plenty of non western countries practice that as well
There’s probably some overlap where people capable of accepting themselves as transgender instead of denying it are more ready to deny tradition in general
In a communist non-state area, who enforces environmental protections? Who punishes rapists and murderers without being he said she said? Who prevents workplaces from unsafe working habits? Who assures buildings are up to code? Those are realistic issues, that don’t stop magically when you do away with a class system. Doing away with a class system will improve them, but not eliminate them.
Absolutely I agree. At a minimum they should be required to be non-profit, and really they should be government services for the necessary insurances like medical insurance.
Insurance as a monetary concept was invented for the shipping industry. But insurance is not just monetary. It’s also the grain silos you fill in case of a famine. The water cisterns you fill for drought. It is absolutely not just pay money and get money out if you get hurt
Insurance is risk adverse behavior. Lotteries are the opposite. Insurance is important no matter what type of society you have, because it’s always important to have resources ready for disasters

2·4 months agoUsa taxes citizens in foreign countries. Though they can subtract local taxes from the total, so you only get taxed if local taxes are less

151·5 months agoThat’s why more countries should adopt the usa’s stance on external taxation. As much as people bitch about it, it’s a great anti tax haven policy, even if we don’t follow through on everything else necessary to do so

I mean, googling that does not give the result you claimed it would. In fact, it talks more about how they opened up different types of camps instead
You are making things up, things that I haven’t said. Most countries have stories of genocide of one people or another. That is not saying it is inevitable, it’s just history.
normalizing genocides of mostly European origin
Several of which you stated were which weren’t…
Counting genocides perpetrated against a population as proof of genocide being common by almost every population is just the intellectual bankruptcy cherry on top.
I was not. You twisted the truth like the korean one, and assumed I was talking about different ones than I was. More however, I said countries–not populations, which would be quite the different subject. Plenty have primarily been targeted by genocides. You underestimate how much genocide takes place, and continually make things up to pretend it’s just a European problem. Wholly ignoring that one of the active present ongoing genocides is being perpetrated by china.

Holy meaningless statement
