Ukraine has launched a “large-scale” drone attack against Russian military bombers in Siberia, striking more than 40 warplanes thousands of kilometres from its own territory, a security official said.
The claims could not be independently verified. But if confirmed, the attacks would mark Ukraine’s most damaging drone strike of the war to date, amid an escalation in cross-border incursions before planned peace talks in Istanbul on Monday.
“Ukrainian security services are carrying out a large-scale special operation aimed at destroying enemy bombers far from the front, in Russia,” the official was quoted by Agence France-Presse as saying, adding a fire had broken out at the targeted Belaya airbase.
The inequality in Russia is absurd. After the fall of the Soviet Union, it the country has clearly become the textbook capitalist country in the world. Tell me, what are the great left wing achievements it has made? Putin on a horse?
Textbook capitalist does not make it fascist. We wouldn’t need “fascist” if that was the case.
So you are saying that there is a fine line between fascism and capitalism, yes? What would that line be? And why would we chose capitalism over fascism?
Westoids and their obsession with calling everyone and their mother a fascist will never not be funny.
99% of the planet is capitalist, so 99% of the world is fascist?
Why don’t you ever call European countries fascist?
To be fair, 99% is a huge overestimation when the largest economy by PPP, the PRC, is Socialist.
China is working towards socialism; they’re still capitalist as of now
China is working towards higher stages of Socialism, they have been Socialist since 1949. The large firms and key industries in China are firmly in the public sector, and as the medium firms grow the CPC exerts more control and gradually folds them into the public sector. They aren’t Communist yet, but by Marxist understanding they have been Socialist for a long time.
I’m telling you what they themselves have stated: they are working towards socialism. They haven’t achieved it yet, yes they control major industries but that still isn’t enough to call them socialist.
They haven’t even achieved universal healthcare yet, there are western nations that have come closer to universal healthcare than they have.
They’re working towards socialism, but they’re still capitalist.
No, this is a common misconception. The official stance of the CPC in the Two Centenary Goals are to complete a moderately prosperous society in all respects by the centenary of the CPC (founded in 1921), and to build China into a modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, and harmonious by the centenary of the People’s Republic of China (founded in 1949). The official economic system of China as described by themselves is Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, they already consider themselves to be in the “Primary stage of Socialism.” You are confusing the “modern socialist country” for being a Socialist country in general, but a passive investigation proves this to be wrong, the emphasis is on modern.
Indeed, you are correct, they are behind in Universal Healthcare, and other areas. This is why they do not consider themselves a “modern” country, but do consider themselves Socialist. Further, the European countries providing universal healthcare do so using Imperialism, ie massive exploitation of the Global South, while China funds its own safety nets from its own production. Very different.
I suggest you read the articles I linked and this SWCC Study Guide if you want to learn more about Socialism in China. I also have a Marxist-Leninist introductory reading list if you want to learn more about Marxism-Leninism in general, and not just as it’s applied in China.
There is no line between fascism and capitalism: all fascisms are capitalist, but not all capitalisms are fascist.
Sure, but capitalism with a Fuehrer that has a lifelong seat at the head of government and portrays himself in Riefenstahl like images surely qualifies as fascism, no?
Ok, thanks for confirming that you have no clue what fascism is and can be safely ignored.
