The reason why communists ought to care about America is that it emerged out of a revolutionary tradition that ultimately succeeded. It is truly exceptional in this sense. Criticism is warranted when it betrays that tradition, and there is a lot to criticize. But even the Soviets found a lot to admire in America. MLK understood this too.

Notice how the strongest anti-American sentiment tends to come from reactionaries and do-nothing pseudo-leftists? This is not a coincidence. The essence of leftism is a drive to recognize and cultivate potentials which can bring about progress. Potentials exist everywhere, but America has the most potential. Those who reject that potential don't want a revolution - they just want destruction.

This doesn't mean that communists should be pro-American. That would be stupid. The point is to recognize a dialectic of acceptance and change. The great irony of American politics is that genuine conservatives often have the most capacity to institute radical changes, even though they are the least willing to do so. The "Reagan Revolution" couldn't have happened without Nixon.

I crave pious Puritan pussy

I've gone into what I like about America in a few places on this site:
>>157167

So with these previous posts in mind, I agree with only a few of OP's claims:
Firstly, the nature. I agree that the territory which now comprises the states of the United States, particularly on the North American continent, is incredibly beautiful and bountiful.

Secondly, I agree, loosely, with "I like most people here." I think that the American people are kinder hearted oftentimes than they come across as, and are less intolerant than people make them out to be. It's mostly the American state which punishes & discourages these positive qualities for its own ends.

These two points aside, I disagree with everything else you've written. The United States is the richest country on earth and our infrastructure is crumbling. We spend so much on war, and yet we have major cities which struggle to do maintenance on their water infrastructure. Our transit system is a total laughing stock, poisoned by perpetual corrupt political moves to privatize things which only work as public services.

Our "innovation culture" is also a joke - most of the "innovation" for the past 40 years has been in patent rentseeking, as well as other "innovations" to charge as much as possible for things which are not actually scarce. US tax money built the internet, and then the gov't decided to put private companies in charge of it, and those corporations have persistently "innovated" at sabotage and suing the regulators for the corporate "right" to throttle access. Public money built Tesla - and then Tesla "innovated" by installing software in its vehicles which artificially limited the charge capacity of the batteries so that they could sell the same model of car with that software turned off for higher prices. The US consistently "innovates" at taking things which were impressive, making them crap, and then charging extra for versions of the same product without the modifications which made them crap. It's embarrassing. There was a time when the US produced impressive works, but we're currently in the time dominated by finance capital.

We're the richest country on earth, and what remains of our "social safety net" is another joke. Clinton scrapped welfare in tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

The puritans are exactly what I'm arguing against here. Both the reactionaries and pseudo-leftists have long since adopted a secularized puritanism. They speak for the harsh American super-ego that clothes its naked nihilism in moral authority.

Principled socialists like those surrounding Eugene Debs saw themselves as truer Americans than the most rhetorically pro-American ideologues, because they believed that the American revolutionary tradition could only be fulfilled through socialism - and they were right. Lenin was accused of being too "bourgeois" or "liberal" by his supposedly more radical critics - and they were right too. Yet, communism is not some crude negation of the enlightenment, but its sublation.

The puritans - the hyper-moralists who call themselves "progressives" or "patriots" - are fundamentally the same kind of conservative. Their ethics revolves around an illusion of the good that is under siege by the forces of evil. They can only think of destroying evil, for they see thousands of evils everywhere. But the truth that conservatism buries is that some things must radically change precisely in order to preserve the Actually Existing good. If this isn't revolutionary dialectics, then what is?

GOD BLESS YOU AMERICA. ALL MY DREAMS COME TRUE IN THIS COUNTRY AND I WISH NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR ALL OF MY FELLOW AMERICANS ON THIS AND EVERY DAY. EXCEPT YOU HULK HOGAN YOU ARE FOREVER A JABRONI.

Do you have more about this OP?

If they get chinese citizens that haven't given up their citizenship in their camps for no reason, I don't think that will bode well for the united states. Are they stupid enough to try it?

>>158567
I think this is compelling. So the BBB spending increase is the DOD funding increase you were referencing in OP?

Honestly people are so shamed into being good workers that they feel guilty about stuff like this.

However what everyone has twisted is that when you're working for someone you're literally doing THEIR work FOR them. As in it's work that they should be doing themselves. It's their idea, their profits, and you are doing them a huge favor by making them money.

This relationship in production has to fucking end but once you realize it you start to get frustrated because it's like how don't more people understand this and teach their kids not to accept this slave mentality from a young age? What the fuck guys?

That's very interesting, anon, I didn't know that. It's like domestic pigeons are lumpenized workers.

I find pigeons funny, dunno why people hate them so much.

Furries are degenerates, anyone who says otherwise is terminally online.

Furry fandom is to zoophilia what loli is to pedophilia. Prove me wrong.

And zoomers have been groomed by grown degenerate men into this "furry catboy femboy/trans fandom" lifestyle through careful manipulation of social-media culture that is popular in and between children.

These degenerates are camping on the meme hashtags literally grooming kids.

>>158514
Furries arent zoophiles and neither are lolis being pedophilws

Also, zoomers are not being groomed as a majority into these cults of degeneracy.

At least no more than millennials were.


Alot of these "unfortunate" you g souls who get caught up in grooming willfully chose it because they weren't getting enough attention at home or school.

Alot of grooming occurs more in academic and religious settings

And social media is overblamed.

We had way more molestation in the "good old days"

>>158514
You claiming that people who don't agree that furries aren't degenerate is terminally online is paradoxical


Terminally online people are the ones who call anything "degenerate".

Ummmm… based
