Exactly. It's a common lib trope that all the superhero movies play into where everyone who want to improve society somewhat is a supervillain. Libs see the oppression but fear the victims more than the oppressors. They fear for their own little privilege in the hierarchy they fully recognize as unjust.

The truth is, they aren't against violence at all. They just choose to punch down rather than up. They choose the easy path and I think, at some level, they know they're choosing evil (according to their own standards even). They invent all those bullshit excuses to cope with their own cognitive dissonance. That's why they hold on to a logically indefensible position and get lost in contradictions.

I think ducks are great for their respective eco systems and I appreciate them as wild animals in a violent state of nature despite knowing about the off putting way they reproduce.

That's not really a controversial opinion. It would be controversial to say: "don't judge an entire species that acts out evolved behaviors and instincts based on human concepts!" People often justify hunting a species to extinction based on having anthropomorphized them first and identified a "character flaw". They are wild animals, literally and officially dinosaurs. It's your own fault for seeing them as cute little disney characters in the first place. I mean, many species (including humans) literally kill babies of other animals and eat them raw. I don't do that and don't eat meat, but I can still appreciate cats, who do.

It's the slightly yellow background

Thanks for fixing it, much better.

Also no apology yet for continuing to materially support the ongoing genocide in Palestine by white fascist colonizers. Or for the 27 million Russians killed in WW2, the largest group of victims by far. Or for murdering over a million socialists. Or for financing and arming the anti-communist genocide in Indonesia in 1965/66. If Germany is anything, it's consistent. Not one bit less eager to commit genocide today.

Maybe you could think about it like that: capitalists are the class that, in order to exist, is forced to continuously take capital and invest it to make profit or they are outcompeted by other capitalists. It's not that they are all evil or "corrupted by power", they are not just incentiveized, but forced to act in destructive ways: steal surplus value from workers, increase exploitation above what people can take, chase profits on an exponentially expanding mass of capital in a finite world destroying the planet, cause a crisis about every seven years, cannibalize their own state and infrastructure that they rely on for short term profit, etc.

They inevitably run into these contradictions due to living on a finite planet and having to put individual interests above all else while the modern economies distribution of work and global value chains absolutely require working together.

What you are worried about is real too in a way, but it's not a class. In a socialist state, a managerial part of the working class is not forced by competition to continuously pursue personal gain, but some of them still might become corrupt and do so anyway. At that point, they have betrayed the working class and they might even do so in favor of real capitalists domestic or abroad who haven't yet completely disappeared as a class. It's a possible problem, but other than the class conflict between workers and capital, it's not inevitably the dominating principle of society.

Rather than worrying about a hypothetical future betrayal of fellow workers in thriving and prospering China, we should focus on how many western workers have already often betrayed the rest of the global working class and continue to do so by supporting terrible imperialist wars, mostly in turn for cheap goods at Walmart.

Okay, so you think the capitalist owned media would like anarcho-communism if they only knew the difference? Or that they'd like general communism better than "stalinism" (a fictional anti-communist propaganda term, not something that has ever existed in the real world).

Well, go on then, just try telling everyone about how great (anarcho)-communism is. But get in touch with some comrades first and let them know, so they can come to literally bail you out when state repression inevitably hits you hard.

Everybody knows that, that's why GDP numbers almost always control for inflation. Here's one from the world bank that also controls for purchase power parity: 205% increase in PPP and inflation controlled GDP per person from 2012 to 2025.
