Oh no, not VoA, RFE, and RFA! Where am I going to get my US imperialist talking points from now, CNN?
VOA specifically has been active since the 1940s, where it broadcast stories into Germany that were meant to counter Nazi propaganda.
No mention of the decades anti-Communist propaganda, huh? Pepperidge Farm remembers when Mother Jones was actually leftist.
The .world admins allow this to continue, which I see as tacit endorsement for it.
To censor any criticism of his defederation jihad against politics to his left.
Skill issue, I would simply choose liberal reforms, despite their never succeeding.
He’ll never read a book.
Rosa Luxemburg, Reform or Revolution
And you’re the biggest anti-communist “leftist” around.
NOoo TAnKiES AREN’t CoMmUNISt They’RE AuthoritArIan. Every time you say that you only show your ignorance. Read an actual book, or stop talking nonsense. Stop trying to fabricate a pacifist communism, and just admit that you are anti-communist full-stop.
Their comments are not well organized. Look at their comment history; they write like a bot trained to generate pseudo-profound bullshit.
Why are all of your replies indistinguishable from a bored algorithm
Why do you keep projecting onto others the thing that people keep saying about you: that you write like a bot?
Why do I need to reread the book? What do you think I don’t understand?
I’m quite aware that Al Jazeera’s name is on the video. It’s right there, out in the open. All the video does is summarize Herman & Chomsky’s propaganda model. Do you think Al Jazeera’s involvement will give you cooties somehow?
And the US State Department is literally the US State Department. The same US that just aided and abetted a Palestinian genocide for 15 months.
And Noam Chomsky is Noam Chomsky, regardless of who funded the production of that video.
Did you unironically send us to a US .gov propaganda website to get information about a US enemy state’s disinformation?
The Western capitalist states just did a twenty year long “war on terror” based on lies, causing the deaths of millions, and are complicit in supporting a 15 month long genocide of Palestinians, and you’re super-concerned about China’s human rights abuses as reported by those same Western states, which are virulently anti-communist and known to push BS anti-communist narratives for the last century?
Neither Washington nor Beijing, but actually Washington.
The very first sentence of the Wiki entry invalidates your argument that EU countries are socialist. They’re not even working toward socialism, because they’re not working toward abolishing private ownership of the means of production. In fact they’ve all been moving in the opposite direction ever since Margaret Thatcher. They’ve been privatizing things that had been public.
On the unlikely chance that the question isn’t rhetodical, I’d suggest Michael Parenti’s Blackshirts and Reds.
In any case, Tankies hate socialism, they see it as nothing but trying to “make capitalism work with regulation” and they strive for abolishment of capitalism entirely.
I think you are confusing “socialism” with “capitalism with social safety nets.”
Socialism is the abolition of private ownership of the means of production, and private ownership of the means of production is what capitalism is. All versions of socialism are anti-capitalist, including communism.
You don’t even have a Wikipedia-level understanding of capitalism, socialism, or communism. Have you even read the first few paragraphs of the Wiki entries for the concepts you pretend to be knowledgeable of?
And that is why this shit gets removed from lemmy.ml.
Not because it’s a secret, but because they’re sick and tired of debunking tiny man flat earthers.
Walter Lippmann and Edward Bernays (and Herman & Chomsky) literally wrote the books on it.
And where did you learn that in China you’ll be visited by the cops?
You learned if from the very same Western cold war propaganda machine we’re talking about. And you accepted it as fact without a thought.
Your satire is going to go over most of these people’s heads.
They also think it is the Chinese who are “brainwashed” NPCs, whilst they swim in propaganda and question nothing.
People not only don’t know what’s happening to them, they don’t even know that they don’t know. — Noam Chomsky
