Rome lasted between 400 and 1500

I don’t think the timeframe is any good at identifying the failure. I’m not sure that Rome has seen as many historical events as the USSR: two world wars, television, nukes, space, computers to name a few. The correct answer here is that we can learn from experiments such as Rome, Paris Commune, and the USSR. We can’t learn from Putin though, assuming we both don’t want to build a relatively stable authoritarian proto fascist regime.

Stalin never stood in a bread line

Realistically, how do you imagine that? Because I can’t: you’ve built an authoritarian state with one party on the top, the country is not in the best condition. right now. There is no place for martyrdom here, you are obliged to rule the state while the things are as they are. I do not agree to shit on Stalin/Castro/Mao for exercising more lavish lifestyle than the common people. I can agree to shit on them for creating the system where they are the center of the country though.

On a side note, do you know the story of Vasily Stalin? He was Stalin’s son and he did not have such privileges.

There seems to be an inherent vulnerability to revolutionary political actions to co-option by charismatic strongmen.

Historical irony here is that Lenin himself discusses this in “What is to be done?”, giving the example of Napoleon if I’m not mistaken. He’s all for democracy though.

staying out of everyone’s personal life

The first thing Bolsheviks did, was cancelling the persecution by political reasons (being gay included) and legitimizing abortions.

Overall I see that although you identify as a right winger, we don’t have that different world view and how the world should be. I very much appreciate you being honest. Such threads make me love humanity more

That’s not dog’s penis

I’m missing your point. Why then would a person have Georistic rather than Marxist political views?

You’ve dismissed the other person’s political views on the premise of Marxism including the Georgism. There are reasons why this person is not aligned with other Marxists’ takes and I would like to know them. You just view yourself superior to them

That’s like saying that some culture doesn’t require my attention because the European one is superior

Hey there. Never heard of it, actually. Thanks, I’ll find a time to read about it.

What I find interesting in this particular libertarian initiative so far, is that it is addressing an existing systematic issue. Almost all other libertarians I come around seem to be speaking about their and everyone else’s morality and righteousness, naively thinking that once we all become moral and righteous, society would become as well.

We’re anti-imperialists,

Choosing another boot to lick is not anti-imperalism, it’s still bootlicking

You have no idea how many times I really tried to listen to this side. You can only repeat Putin’s claims.

You are class traitors

The one is nearly sexual power play condemned by a huge portion of society, the other is wearing uncomfortable clothes

Have they been discredited as pro Russian elements and warned that they will be treated as such?

Waaaaaaat

Do I really need to?

IDK, got preoccupied with the topic. Take care

Soo… what would you do if you need to spend like $8000 tomorrow?

Heey, so I also had similar thoughts when I was living by $300/mo, but it’s really, really not much. Here’s the short breakdown

• rent. Rent is sky-high in places like Berlin, London, Paris, the US, and a lot of other places. You can find a studio apt for like $400/mo in a poor place

• food. Earning $4k/mo means a lot of work and cooking is not an option. If you rent a cheap apartment, chances are you have a poor kitchen. So it adds $400 per person a month

• emergency. If your partner loses a job or a close relative gets something like cancer, you start spending much more. I had both, unfortunately
