Citations in an uncensored medium needed.

"Confiscating the properties of , imprisoning them and their accomplices in case of resistance. This confiscation and appropriation by the state is what makes possible."

This seems like an instantiation of neocolonialism adlibs. Is your name Trump, Netanyahu, or Putin by any chance? The fact that you imply that these are in any way a requirement for universal care or social benefits gives your game away.

    This seems like an instantiation of neocolonialism adlibs.

    Someone needs to tell Mohammed Mossadegh that he was doing neocolonialism when he nationalized the natural resources that had been stolen by British colonizers and that he's exactly like Netanyahu for it. I guess the CIA was right to overthrow him, democracy be damned.

    What an absolutely insane take.

    This isn't the checkmate you think it is.

    “Fascists brush their teeth twice a day. You also brush your teeth. That means you are a fascist!!!”

    Do not omit the context from the general notion. I am speaking of bourgeois industrialists who exploit the working class, and not native populations with the right to sovereignty.

    So no citations, just the same old regurgitated propaganda that has been in the library stands for decades. I think we've reached common ground, you recognize you are basically proposing:

    “Confiscating the properties of , imprisoning them and their accomplices in case of resistance. This confiscation and appropriation by the state is what makes possible.”

    And I'm just pointing it out. You speak of that only easily materializing in the caricatures you have in your mind but which you would do your best bourgeois impersonation to apply liberally if you ever got the power to do so. This isn't the checkmate you think it is, you are just wearing a different brand of rhetoric that just ends up devolving in a pretty similar way.
