They do have war with Russia and Korea actually, Ukraine is as sure as day a proxy war of the US and Russia, and Korea there is us troops by the boatload in South Korea, and since they are in armistice they're aiding in the war. Iran true they are not in any conflict right now, at least not open and same for China though the US has all that noise with Taiwan that who knows where it's gonna land.

Out of legitimate curiosity, what are the alleged costs they usually point at?

My home and nativeland, Brazil, it was built on genocide of the native people, and the enslavement of both African people and local natives

I like the idea of this picture, but I think that the problem is that many people level criticisms to communism as a religious-like school of thought, and I think this fuels that narrative, that we are dogmatic and preaching it to others, I don't think that is a good way even for us to see ourselves, as preachers of the truth, we are people who ought to be among the proletariat and offer support so we all collectively rise together, and is only engaged with the people among the people that we cant put our thesis to the test, and improve Marxism, we do not preach we act.

I think it's not a good look to say you'll shoot a classmate, even in hypothetical, I think it was better dismissing the hypothetical as nonsense, which it is, answering it with the question, would you condemn your population to violence and hunger? Otherwise yeah it's not wrong to have that stance just think you could go about it a little more gracefully, cause one problem is that when we are THE communist some people know they'll judge communism based on US and the optics of how you went about it might lead them to believe communists are more trigger happy then they are.

Let me see if I get it straight, I have not finished the text yet but I wanna make sure that I'm understanding it right, since I don't understand business speech. But if I got it correctly it says, that those savings do not come from households, so it's either big corporations or the state itself, and they have saved just under the US and EU together, which means, china is spending less on their development, in fact significantly less, and is growing more and more stable than the west. Is that the takeaway of the first part?

Absolutely accurate

I don't hate them equally cause neo nazism is a very particular form of awful, plus I think that NATO being fucked over and prevented from spreading east is a win for everybody, but yeah Russia is no angel indeed very far from it but as I see is the least bad side of this conflict. Or whom the victory stands to result in the best geopolitical consequences as I see it

Shouldn't have been the first but well better late than never

At the US collapsing

Honest inquiry, why the downvotes?

Pff, amatures, here in brazil we have a huge branch of the police that is actually named Military Police, all pretense has been thrown out over here, there is a war against the people, hence military police. They get some points for honesty, just kidding military police deserves no points.
