Hola everyone
I'm not new to socialism, just this forum so hello everyone.
I'm sure someone is bound to comment on my username, but that's because I don't think Stalin or the USSR were as bad as people think, especially considering that 90% of these so called "bad things" were just straight out lies created by the bourgeois to discredit the most powerful socialist nation on the planet. I'm in disbelief of how many other socialists beleive these things, you really think the US and the capatalists can't just fabricate whatever evidence they want? Lots of these happened during war time... well Before I go on a tangent and write a thick book on the matter I'm just here to say that's just the name real life people have given me... as if it's a bad thing... But here I think we can agree to disagree right? My only goal is to help promote and achieve real socialism in the US. Not that watered down... not even really socialism... bernie style of "democratic socialism" that so many people (irritating to observe) think is socialism. I've been told that this is where the real socialists hang out. I know all the Sanders supporters are at least on the right track and have good heart but there really needs to be some more guidance. I think this era is a golden opportunity for socialism to spread. I haven't seen so many people backing a "socialistic" presidential candidate before. I think we need to organize better to get right on track with this, take the lead maybe. My hope is that if Trump or even Clinton get elected that there will be a socialist revolution in the US. I think we have the numbers.. I think, not sure... but more than ever before I beleive. Socialism can't be voted into office, you can't reason with the bourgeois and fascists. Does anyone really think they'll just let us rise to power democratically?
Anyways... what do you guys think? Am I right or am I right?
How do you decide what is factual from what is propaganda?
Well as a good rule of thumb if you heard it from (or the source was from) a capitalist, fascist, or similar then it's safe to say it's untrue.
So you only accept the "facts" you find that confirm your bias and disregard everything else, that's very reactionary.
Not believing bourgeois propaganda is incorrect you say? I never knew the fascists, capitalists, nazis, etc. were known for their truth telling!
Well Bourgeoisie sources never cite anything or provide evidence. So although not trusting bourgeois sources on the basis on them being bourgeois is illogical, in practice it is logical as they never prove anything they say anyway. Kinda like libertarian socialists, just call us the red bureaucracy like the fucking trotskyists you are. Next you will be telling us the third world is too barbaric to achieve Socialism.
Anyway. Empiricism (not Imperialism, don't confuse them) is the best way to find the truth. And the truth just so happens to be in the Bolshevik party's favor.
P.s. don't make jokes here, these libertarians are the worst authoritarians on the internet. Fucking SJWs...
