Yes, because it's long been true and people didn't fucking listen. Now my country doesn't even really have liberal democracy, and people are still himing and hawing about disruption being bad and lawbreaking being bad
Guess which one has the money for it?
As much as tankies are imperialist shitheads, this entire post is just starting shit for no good reason. Fascists are killing people. Liberals abandoned pretenses of valuing popular politics over donors and democracy abroad for genocide enabling imperial interest. The only "socialist" states are major contributors to global capitalism and sliding deeper into fascist culture war bullshit like everywhere else on earth.
Ideology never fucking mattered. The Cold War era "horrors of communism" were caused by the boring old tactics of genocide and violence to strengthen the imperial core. The democracy that America brought the world was only for a small minority, while everyone else got dictators we trained and paid for. There is no "moral state" and the least bad one is based on circumstance, not the philosophy they tell you matters.
When hierarchy minded people gaze upon this nihilism, they decide they might as well join in on the collective rape of humanity. They decide to be the "strong men" who only see negative sum solutions where they have more power than the rest. They give up on peace and embrace brutality as the winning move; never wondering if maybe they're breaking themselves as they break other people to keep some king atop his throne. And that's assuming they're on the winning side in the war of the empires; that the fighting never comes home.
The desperation and work culture of believing we can just slave away into success are what keeps people from rocking the boat. Faith in being able to win the game is how we got here.
