It makes you wonder who’s actually pulling the strings of dotworld. The instance owners have the same pro-corporate, pro-capitalist, anti-leftist, anti-communist stance as Reddit. 🤔

Thank you for posting this well sourced reply. I’m sorry that you’re being downvoted. Libs have an aneurysm anytime someone challenges their current world view. Socialism with Chinese Characteristics is on my to read least and I may just have to start reading it tonight.

I just checked. Pitch Black is the highest with 59%. I like all of those movies too 😭

You underestimate the allure imperialism has on capital owners.

That was called “shock therapy”. That’s not what’s happening here.

It matters because the factories and more specifically, the workers who fill them are the ones creating value. Had they pulled out sooner, the result likely would have been the same, the state taking over management.

While I don’t particularly care about private property being “repossessed” by the state, especially in an oligarchal capitalist state like Russia where it’s not likely to have any large material benefit for the working class, its just funny that liberals throw stuff like this around without any analysis of the situation.

Lots of liberals on here parroting the “should have gotten out when they had the chance” line. In reality, the threat of capital flight is largely a myth. Sure, you can maybe escape with much of your finance capital, but you can’t take the factories and the worker who fill them with you.

They’re not. They’re S&O companies with tech.
