You never lived there as an adult, never had to work there a day in your life. And you have the aducity to shill for Mfers that don't give a s*** about Afghan people.

im not against your argument in essence, but you need to understand where people are coming from with this. id love me some socialism wherever I go too but s***s not happening today or tomorrow and in most cases youre stuck picking between two evils, especially in politics

shouldn't have assumed you were from eu or na tho, my bad

wait, hes not living there atm?

He sitting pretty in the USA

I’m aware that it does not happen in one day, but to throw your hands up and say “hey let’s go f*** ourselves since we aren’t receiving instant gratification and don’t want to work for a better world” is a cowardly and entirely unprincipled take.

I work with labor unions, with soup kitchens, with tenants unions, exactly because socialism doesn’t come tomorrow. If one truly cared about the prosperity their brethren then they’d understand that there is hard work to put in to move the system forward

well ill be

The USSR had the same caloric and nutritional intake as the US until the 1990’s

And the exact reason for the fall of the USSR was opportunistic people like Khrushchev liberalizing the economy and allowing capitalism to seep into a socialist system, creating a contradictory system rife with stagnation

That guy regularly harasses me because I don’t have a burning hatred for Iran he can go f*** himself

Yeah and thus the correct answer to this problem is capitalism, a system that predicates itself on creating artificial scarcity for the sake of making a buck

If you’re getting a masters in economics, can you explain to me what happens when demand is met in capitalism? Why does capitalism pride itself on exploiting demand and keeping demand everpresent instead of solving demand?

The only reason eastern european countries want to be included in the Western system is because of their aspirations to be on top of the totem pole of that system, not exactly the same for the rest of the world

When was @wru born?

good on you to practice what you preach in real life. id much rather do that in Europe or the US too; this cool lefty stuff wont turn any heads where I come from (unfortunately) and in any other situation id probably argue with you on the same side. helping people is great until it turns your life miserable because you know their situation will only get worse no matter how much you want it not to be the case

plus any prospects of bringing russia closer to the west are now deadened so I guess this argument kinda goes nowhere

Nah I dislike you because you said it will be interesting to see how Taliban is going to utilize the modern Afghan youth.

Before you made that statement I didn't dislike you. But that comment as our politics section lord and savior @Synopsis would say was extremely BrainDead.

And the fact is you never lived and worked as an adult in middle east. So the fact that you were born in Afghanistan is irrelevant.

Itt: living thru something in a country matters when it helps my argument

in Russia (not Moscow) and lived there for the entirety of my life up until recently

really setting myself up to be doxxed here huh

Also shyt since u wanna have that take how u gonna talk abt westernization being good if u never lived in a western country?

Such a dumb argument
