Sure you can have an opinion, but if its about something you know nothing about, and have not investigated then it is worthless. Not just to other people, but to yourself as well
What have you actually done to help socialism then?
Are you a union organiser? Are you in a union? Which one? What party are you in? What projects do you support? What are you actually doing as a socialist? Other than voting for a liberal party every few years I mean.
My partner is a teacher and is in a union. We are both active in organizing and supporting. There are no unions for the industry I work in, so I work with hers.
Then you should know better than this bullshit, because you would be working with several of us. There is definitely not a teaching union that is not filled with MLs, education in particular has the highest number of us.
if your political activism starts and ends with being in a union you are useless to any socialist project, you even elevate yourself above others because of your union membership; liberal complancy, please boss uwu be nice and give us a raise.
Well your political activism starts and ends with posting Lenin quotes in online discussion boards, so I don’t know that you are in any position to be calling other people useless.
I am a union member too, I just also go out and organize on top of that; right now im trying to arrange a rent strike in my local community, I feed the homeless at soup kitchens and I attend every single march and protest for allinged interests that im able too.
Wait till you learn that there are right wing unions, and that union membership should be evaluated on a case by case basis;
person above wasnt claiming to be the sole arbiters, dumb comment
il take the largest communist projects in the world, the word of millions + people who study marxism and practice it in reality everyday over a liberal who would struggle to define the word ‘socialism’ and whos political education starts and ends with there high school history class + 10 years spent on /r/politics
How so? How is being against AES not anti-comminist?
Why does AES always seems to end up with forced labor camps? I don’t remember forced labor camps being a central part of socialist ideology…
A country can call itself socialist, that doesn’t make it so.
So the arbiter of what is socialist is you? Not the revolutionaries who have actually worked on socialist projects
Yes, I can have an opinion on socialism without having been a socialist-revolutionary. That is correct. Spot on.

So America is AES? We lead the world in prision labor.
America bad does not imply China good.
China doing good in the world while America does bad does imply that though.
Cause you can hate one thing but like an other version.
The world is not black and white.
Been thinking about getting one so I can just regurgitate trite Redditisms and feel content contributing nothing to the minds of others.
‘Im not wrong its the billions of people living in communist countries that are wrong’
