    Theoretically and practically. We have evidence for this throughout the last 130 years.

    it sure is great that the USSR treated ukraine with respect aye… that holodomor sure is a lark

    revolution remains the sole path to end the bloodshed

    we are living in the most peaceful time in human history… a world with humans just isn’t going to be a utopia - we aren’t that good

    Cuba today has much better LGBTQ rights than anywhere else in the world

    but you’ve pulled 1 example out of many, many counter examples

      There’s pretty much no evidence the USSR’s famine in the 1930s was intentional. Moreover, it was the last major famine outside of war time in a country that had regular and common famines before collectivization.

      As for this being “the most peaceful time in history,” that’s wrong, and is Neoliberal propaganda. The US Empire is still propping up genocide around the world, and expropriating the fruits of the labor of the Global South.

      As for 1 example out of “many counter-examples,” can you legitimately link Capitalism itself to LGBTQ rights? The USSR had better treatment of queer folk than the modern Russian Federation, one of the PRC’s most famous celebrities is openly trans, queer rights advance more quickly in countries where the working class has control.
