    Oh, so the bigger issue was whether or not to trust the peasantry, as they were not the labourers Marx thought would come to overthrow the capitalist system, more so than national socialism versus world government socialism?

    If so, thank you for making me learn something new.

    No, it makes it okay for a foreign country to invade with just cause when there was…

    1. A coup
    2. The next election was won through the popularity of a tv series, where the election winner played president on tv. This was not a coincidence.
    3. It became very clear that the policies of these two presidents that it would completely isolate Ukraine from Russia, despite half of Ukraine being Russian and the other half semi-Russian.
    4. This upset parts of Ukraine that have deep economic ties with Russia so much, that they declared independence of Ukraine to join Russia, starting with Crimea.
    5. This in turn was painted by US/UK media as aggressive annexation by Putin.
    6. It also became clear that Zelensky wanted to join the EU at all costs.
    7. This concerned Russia as the EU doesn’t seem to be independent of NATO policy and having nukes placed close to Russia’s border aimed at Moscow in areas where xx% of the population would consider themselves Russian wanting to join Russia is considered a nightmare scenario for Russia if separatist conflict would be taking place there.
    8. Russia then made negotiations with Ukraine to address both concerns and Ukraine did not uphold their part of the agreement. This happened twice and in both cases this ended up with military victory for Russia and the separatist areas.
    9. Russia also negotiated with NATO, since NATO was supplying Ukraine with arms to end this conflict and it became clear that NATO and the EU were pushing Ukraine to further the conflict.
    10. At this point Russia decided that it was time to act before things would get further out of control, showing Ukraine’s president that they were willing to wage war in order to prevent high otential nuclear conflict, by doing a small flash invasion, while preparing for world war III.
    11. Ukraine’s president then flipped, saying he was willing to take the situation serious, but then flopped when UK’s former prime minister came to visit him telling Zelensky that NATO was prepared to fully support Ukraine with whatever military equipment he needed.

    There are also victims of Jews.

    When OP criticizes “Mein Kampf” for it’s ridiculously demonizing claims against this group of people by saying that these “Victims of Jews” mentioned in the book were warmongering imperialists, then it doesn’t mean that OP is concealing true victims made by Jews.

    I don’t understand how this is exactly military propaganda either, but I do see an argument for dichitomy in it.

    Imagine living in the middle ages and you crave to read a book that goes against feudalism, especially the theocratic kind, because you know that the system is corrupt but you can’t quite put your finger on it how or offer an alternative, so you’re searching an answer and then you finally find a book that criticizes Christianity, the dominant religion of your area. Hurray! And what does the book contain? Why a praise for a satanic society of course, because ‘that’s what anti-feudalism is all about when you are against a system where the most military crafty person is being regarded as the one sent by god to rule over you.’

    In this story, the Na’vi are portrayed as naïve. It’s in the name.
    Their society isn’t better in terms of economics without resorting to imperialism, but that they’re “more in contact with nature”, by having a more primitive society.

    But because they’re more primitive, they need a big strong human man to protect them and the hottest hottie will fall head over heels for him, bonus points if she previously was the strongest warrior’s girlfriend and he’ll have to endure from sidelines how he gets cuckolded by our insert-All-Anglo-American hero (not sure if that happens in Avatar, I’ve only seen #2)

    I actually don’t know. I’m not that well-versed in communism, but I’ll try to make a suggestion:

    Marx never said to force communism, an envisioned futuristic system, to happen, the same way that one shouldn’t force capitalism in the year 900, during the time of fuedalism if some visionary would predict such of type of governance to happen in the year 800. Even if you think capitalism is better than fuedalism, trying to implement it by introducing ballot boxes, constitutions, parliaments and such, likely would get you killed by the nobility and/or clergy, because you forgot to increase the power of the merchants first, so that they could revolt, with lawyers by their side, or better said in front of them, against the old powers.

    Trotsky wanted to implement a world government or capitalists will do everything in their power to try to destroy it.
    Stalin wanted to develop socialism further in the Soviet Union into a better working model for other countries to emulate.

    Furious debates ensued on who was on the right track.
