  • It really depends on how you define “successful.” If your measure of success is based on how closely these societies resemble Western, liberal, capitalist societies, then, yeah, you’re probably not going to see a whole lot of “success,” but that’s not what these revolutionary movements were trying to achieve. I would say that first and foremost what essentially every communist movement was striving for was just autonomy and independence, and many have been successful in that regard. Vietnam is an independent nation, instead of a French colony. China, similarly, is no longer under the thumb of the British. You may not like what these nations do with their autonomy, but that is what they were striving for and they have achieved it.



  • No matter what, the US Federal government is going to be ruled by a single party, the only question is: will it be the liberal party or the Trump cultists.

    Edit: every time I comment this I get downvoted, which I think is odd because it’s irrefutable. The US was a two party system, but one of those two parties has gone completely bat shit insane, leaving only one viable political party in the US. If the bat shit party doesn’t take power, that leaves only one other option. The math is pretty simple here, so I don’t get how this is controversial. Even if you think a new second party will emerge, that’s going to take some time, and in the meantime there will be one political party in control.
