  • Trump has basically openly admitted that if he had his way, this would be our last election.

    JD Vance is a weird corpo-monarchist. He’s written about it a bit, but his corpo-daddy Peter Thiel has openly spoken about it.

    Then there’s Project 2025, a literal blueprint for Trump to follow to turn the country into a christo-fascist dictatorship. Vance wrote the forward to the book form, but the author is holding it back until after the election. Not out of shame, but because they know that being so open with their plan has hurt them in the polls.

    Lenin betrayed the revolution. You mention the banning of the political parties. While it’s true that they “took up arms against Sovnarkom”, you’re leaving out the part where Lenin used Sovnarkom to coup the newly elected government because his party didn’t win.

    Again, Lenin was flat out wrong. But I don’t think he ever actually cared about Russia ever reaching the true Marxist communist utopia. Lenin cared about power first and foremost.

    He built up that dictatorship, and then handed it over to a monster.

    Tried a bunch, but tried wrong.

    The Lenin model of communism is inherently flawed for one simple reason. An Authoritarian Communism is an Impossibility. It cannot exist by pure definition.

    The true ideal communism is a stateless utopia.

    So yeah, the Lenin model is flawed to the point of uselessness. Or worse because any authoritarian government is going to kill its own citizens, while also being a low grade threat to neighboring countries.

    No. The only path to true communism is via democracy. And there are countries that are moving in that direction.

    What’s worse is the links to white supremacy in all this shit.

    The origin of many of these ancient alien slash ancient apocalypse “theories” are 1900s Germany.

    People who were looking for a “scientific” reason why Germans were the superior race.

    The core thrust of every “ancient” whatever theory is that ancient people were idiots and had to be shown how to pile rocks into a pyramid shape or shit.

    The imaginary people who “showed” ancient brown people how to do shit are always depicted as white.
