And they can even afford communism, because in reality they practice capitalism.Finally, China can ride the tiger in the AI Era by just centralizing everything and creating the largest walled garden in existence. The infrastructu ...

Communism is wealth seizure.But communism requires surveillance.Here’s how to see that.In 1918, in the midst of the Bolshevik Revolution, Lenin gave an order to murder 100 nearby “kulaks.” By that he meant the kind of peasant who might have two cows.An under-appreciated aspect of Lenin’s order is that it required a list. That is: the communists couldn’t murder the kulaks without actually having a list of kulak names and locations.Moreover, the poor kulaks were tied to those locations, like farmers tend to b ...

This was not a hard one to call, if you've studied history rather than socialist propaganda.https://t.co/gxKFs1cGjuMarty O'Donnell (@MartyTheElder):This guy ran for office promising that he would raise taxes on billionaires and freeze the rents and it only took him 45 days to announce massive tax hikes that will hurt the middle class and result in rents being raised.This is why we don't elect communists, kids. ...

Democrats will eventually destroy the entire Californian economy, just like Communists destroyed the Russian economy.It works like this:(1) Build a one-party state(2) Rob or exile the capitalists 👈 we are here(3) Repeat with kulaks(4) Then, get to the podkulaks (https://t.co/6TUjgVOXhx)(5) Finally, go after fellow party membersThe main difference versus Russia is that the collapse of the California economy will followed by de facto Chinese occupation, welcomed by men like Newsom.Very similar to what happene ...

RT Christian Heiens 🏛 (@ChristianHeiens)Marxists just lie about everything. Literally everything. They have no problem lying about history, human nature, or reality itself.Communism took the third-largest lake in the world and replaced it with a toxic desert. They also converted an island in the middle of this lake into an unsecured bioweapons facility and then left the entire thing exposed to the elements once the Soviet Union collapsed.Rarely in history does an ideological or even theological movement com ...
