Just as capitalist states are “authoritarian” against working class interests, socialist states are “authoritarian” against capitalist interests.
The state is a tool for one class to oppress another. The goal of (most) communists is to transition from capitalism — where the capitalist class is in power — to a stateless, classless communist society via socialism — where the working class is in power.
Public perception of which is more “authoritarian” therefore depends on which class is currently in power and is able to manufacture consent, and that is the capitalist class in the vast majority of the world right now since the USSR’s overthrow.
It very much is. The campus protests and the crackdown on them are common in both, and Hamas and the Palestinian resistance also mirror the Viet Cong in both their tactics — using tunnels, taking hostages, guerilla warfare — and their goal of driving out the occupation and reuniting their country.
The democratic party is right-wing though
While Republicans’ strident opposition to Palestinian statehood is clearly rooted in bigotry, the Democratic leadership’s role is more like that of the “white moderate” described in Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” who professes to support the goals but not the methods, who insists on endless negotiations with oppressors who refuse to compromise, and who “believes he can set the timetable for [someone else]’s freedom.”
“The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative.”

finally
As far as what you get when you go Premium, you won’t see any more ads within the app or the videos that you’re watching. Plus, you’ll gain access to background play, along with being able to download videos on the go. And perhaps what makes this plan even more worthwhile is that you get access to YouTube Music, which features over 100 million commercial free songs. Now, the one drawback is that these features don’t come for free, with a subscription costing $13.99 per month in the US.
things will go from ACCEPTABLE
Most people aren’t (social?) fascists like you though and don’t find genocide “ACCEPTABLE”
Same thing that would happen if sanctions on Afghanistan were lifted. Regular people’s lives would improve as the country could import what they need. Cuba is really lacking in cement and medical supplies for example iirc (though their medical system and education is world-class), and they can’t import them cuz of the embargo.
Obviously not much would change in the US, aside from some people realizing socialism isn’t too bad when you’re not a tiny country sanctioned and blockaded by the most war-mongering nation in the world.
They stopped innovating in the late 2000s. It’s all been pointless marketing rebrands since.
Capitalism in a nutshell. Once a monopoly has been established, all that’s left is to keep others down through bs IP laws, patents and decrease wages.
About fucking time.
Doubt much will come out of it unfortunately though.
Wow, the Fediverse is actually visible :0
So voting for genocide is as easy to shitlibs as it is to buy skates. Good to know.
