One Party, One Path (lemmygrad.ml)

A good way to understand the contrast between single-party and multi-party systems is to view single-party states as more socially advanced in certain respects. A multi-party system implies that the society has yet to settle on a unified path forward or a definitive set of societal goals. Various factions within a multi-party system often focus on different issues and hold distinct visions for society.

These systems often face challenges in setting and achieving long-term goals. A government with a limited tenure will find it difficult to implement effective long-term planning. Consequently, these systems are incapable of rapid change, and progress within this framework tends to be incremental. This poses challenges in times of crisis when decisive action is needed.

Conversely, single-party systems often suggest a broader societal consensus regarding overarching goals. The primary function of the party then becomes facilitating progress towards these goals. Debates within single-party systems are focused on optimizing the implementation of agreed-upon goals, rather than fundamentally debating the direction itself. As a result, progress happens more rapidly and efficiently.

I find it fascinating how the Western world defines extremism as straying from its conventional beliefs. It is intriguing to observe that holding views such as homelessness being acceptable or denying individuals' right to healthcare, which align with mainstream ideologies in the West, are not considered extreme. Instead, it is those who advocate for universal healthcare and housing who are deemed extremists by society. 🤡

I wrote an article back in 2020 warning against relying on privately owned platforms for creating communities and public forums. These companies are not accountable to the users, and they curate the content on the platforms in opaque ways that ultimately serve the interests of the owners of these companies. The same Marxist argument about workers owning their tools applies to digital platforms as well. We have to have software that's developed in the open, and that's hosted by volunteers, and funded directly by the community. This is the only way to ensure that our interests are represented.

I love the outcomes that Chinese political structure produces, but I hate their political structure. 🤡

I also love how these imbeciles always bring up the fact that USSR dissolved as some kind of gotcha, like see communism doesn't work I'm so intelligent. As if no capitalist regime has ever collapsed due to its internal contradictions. The reality is that every type of system has potential to fail in some way. The question that actually needs to be asked is how well the system functions while it's working as intended.

USSR managed to provide everyone with things like food, housing, education, and healthcare. Nobody in USSR worried that they'd lose their job and end up on the street or that they couldn't retire in dignity. These are basic things that no capitalist regime is able to accomplish today. These are real tangible rights and freedoms that USSR ensured for its people.

Israel really blew the lid off western propaganda narrative. It's lack of evidence to support the narrative, but even more so the difference in reaction. The west has been positioning itself as the champion of human rights fighting against injustices done by Russia and China, but now we have Israel do crimes on a huge scale with the full backing of the west. This makes it crystal clear that the west absolutely does not give a shit about human rights, and that it has no moral high ground to criticize anyone.

I expect there's going to be a massive political upheaval in Europe, and possibly in US as well. Losing the war will be the backdrop for the economic crash that western economies are now entering. People were sold on a quick war that was supposed to secure western dominance over the world. There wasn't supposed to be any significant economic blowback in the west, but now people are increasingly connecting the war with their declining standard of living. This is now translating into a political backlash against the people who championed the war.

The west will see itself deeply humiliated, they will have to come to terms with the fact that majority of the world does not stand with the west and actively resents western system. This is going to be a hard pill to swallow for people who've been taught all their lives that they're cream of the crop of humanity.

The big question is where the west is headed once the current system implodes. Unfortunately, all the indicators are that western countries are increasingly flirting with fascism and the right is growing rapidly. Unless the left becomes a lot better at organizing and recruiting, we'll likely see full blown fascism taking hold shortly.

wow Russian army is using tactics, who could've predicted this

LMAO I love how the new cope is going to be that Russia is being colonized by China. It's a pretty funny mask off moment since it's rooted in racism and the idea that Russia should obviously prefer to bend over for the western world order. It's also pure projection since westies can't even conceive of two countries having a mutually beneficial relationship where nobody gets exploited.

In my view, it's perfectly valid to criticize the fact that the Kim family has been in charge the whole time. However, I don't think that's at odds with having critical support for DPRK.
