Topic	When will we admit to ourselves that capitalism is a shitty economic system?

At the same time, most of the sort of countries you are talking about came about during the era where the US was waging explicit war on global communism and invading and proxy war invading the countries who were communist. Look at what they did in Indonesia just for being third worldist but not even communist. It seems really unlikely cuba would have survived as a communism regime if they did not have a military or backing of the soviet union. The US is chomping at the bit to invade north korea and venezuela, and the idea that it is for humanitarian reasons or democracy is a farce. Our sanctions activity contribute to hunger in venezuela and we are letting millions starve during a pandemic without aid. Hell, north korea is still technically in a war, it's just an armistice, and we were the aggressors. If they said we are disbanding the military, do you think the US would let them be? During the Cold War the US allied with communist nations to divide up the Soviet sphere. They even explicitly threw out their relations with Taiwan to further seperate the PRC and USSR. Now we're seeing them reverse course but that's how geopolitics goes. The PRC played the game better than the US, but at no point was communism a major factor for either (the US and China simply mutually opposed the Soviet Union). Then you have more explicitly allied nations like Yugoslavia where the US literally provided them with financial aid after World War II. Both the USSR and US also allied with countries that were theocratic, dictatorships, etc. because again geopolitics. The US also freed the Japanese Communist Party after WWII and it survives to this day as the oldest political party in Japan and one of the largest communist parties in a democratic country. I have no love for the US and hate their foreign policy, but I have no love for other imperial powers either. Thinking the geopolitical game was as simple as capitalism versus communism though is simply wrong. That's like buying their argument World War I was a war for democracy (that was the propaganda at the time). By the time the Cold War was in full swing the USSR had given up on even trying to implement socialism. Also North Korea literally invaded the South, you are obviously a tanky if you would post such a blatant lie as a fact. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:950262331] in When will ...
