Economically Socialist (eg. Pro-Economic Planning, Pro-Gift Economy, et Pro-Nationalization)
Anti-imperialist and critical supportive of progressive forces on foreign policy (Eg. Pro-Cuba, pro-Vietnam, pro-China, though somewhat conditionally supportive of Russia, in fending off NATO and its Ukrainian proxy)
We are thus also anti-orientalist and also kinda support ‘another kkkrakka down, unlimited genocide on the Global North’ sort of shtick…
We’re tankies, by your definition, but normal leftists, according to other people…
And I say this as a moderate rebel a la White Helmets…
While it contains anonymous source, this is the times of ISRAEL, so I guess its plausible (I mean the timing was just after the Yom Kippur war’s anniversary)…
Oh ok… I think the main pt is that UBI and Socdem policies are similar in that, while not inherent in Socialism, they would be better executed under it, as a policy…
UBIs can be a good part of socialism, but not necessarily an essentialist value of it, though it’s not as well-utilized under capitalism…
If Feudalism means the rule of Feudal lords, by ownership of the land and thus crop rents, and capitalism means the rule of capitalists, by ownership of capital and thus profit
Then with socialism, it’s the rule of society, by communal ownership (state or not) of our industry towards societal goods, such as food, shelter, etc. and avoid the crises that come with it
If you reform the system without changing its system, it will rhyme up its mistakes all over again (do the same action but with worse effect to society)
Btw though: don’t most of the ideal Socdem countries, whom you call socialist, in the West rely on exploitative unequal “exchange” , and the Socdem countries of the Global South are slandered and sanctioned, the most extreme example being Venezuela?
boost the stock market lining the pockets of those who funded the economic colonialism in the first place.
The global ruling U.S capitalists, and their compradores, plus their total professional managerial classes and small propertarians would benefit by that logic.
But if you work and live for just a wage, or are the lumpenproles, or “the poors, especially the homeless drug users”, who, coincidentally make up our majority, well, that’s utter piss for ye guys…
Wajid, who sells vegetables in a pushcart, said his Hindu customers often offer him the prasad and he accepts it without a second thought. “Prasad is a gift from bhagwan or Allah. I do not refuse it.”
Yeah, I feel like the same people who initially offer ‘prasad’ (food offerings to the Gods) and later beat him to death probably gave mixed messages to him…
