They want trump, really, really want trump.

And they don’t give a flying fuck at a rolling donut if everyone else hurts, as long as they get their way on it.

There’s some fat guy named Art Masters who wonders why everyone is so critical of his jewelry.

if you just toss these countries’ accomplishments away, you’re really just undermining the entire premise, because without these successes the record of ‘socialism’ gets a whole fucking lot worse.

Ok, then.

You’re right, it’s only roughly one in every 20 rolls. It’s only almost precisely one in every 20 rolls. It’s only a 5% chance, which some would say is literally synonymous with “one in every 20 rolls,” which isn’t strictly true, because it’s possible to have more or less than one natural 20 in any run of 20 rolls, because it’s only one in every 20 rolls on average.

Glad we can agree.

the same people bribing the supreme court are behind this very bullshit.

On average.

yes, that’s the important part the OP left out. You stated

One in every 20 rolls is a nat 20

this is incorrect.

One in every 20 rolls is a nat 20

…no, no. this is not how probability works, even if it should seem to given the way we describe the odds.

I guess you can stick your head into the ground and pretend democratic socialism isn’t a thing.

it’s stupid, but stupidity is always an option.

Of course, if you just toss these countries’ accomplishments away, you’re really just undermining the entire premise, because without these successes the record of ‘socialism’ gets a whole fucking lot worse.

lol

few parliaments are made out of soviets - worker delegations - lol.

but if you’d actually read the article I linked you’d have seen:

In contrast to earlier democratic models à la John Locke and Montesquieu, no separation of powers exists in soviet democracy.

show me where that’s a thing. no, actually, don’t bother.

you’re too stupid to continue engaging, I’m not going to enlighten you, and you aren’t going to bullshit me any further.

Both can be reduced by destruction of iron throne. “All power power to soviets” v2.

This would be grand, good luck! Make it happen.

soviet democracy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_democracy

Parlamentary democracy is real thing.

yeah, it is, and it’s not what the soviets were doing.

Putin’s oligarchs.

And where did Putin come from?

For some reason I see them less than few years ago. I wonder why…

probably because they’re losing their love of this special military operation slightly exceeding it’s 3-days-to-kiev plan. Those dumb sonsabitches brought their dress uniforms for the parades they knew were going to happen.

lol

get fucked oops that’s not civil.

fuck fascism and it’s practitioners.

True democratic socialism is impossible as long as the United States exists as an imperialist force.

1, That’s silly, there’s tons of democratic socialist countries that are doing just fine - today! Bolivia, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Canada, the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, Belgium, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand - think the US fucks with their way of governing?

2, the USSR was never a type of democratic socialism. Period. They literally called it ‘soviet democracy’ distinctly, and it meant something WILDLY different that the kinds of democratic socialism we see in the above listed countries.

Your premise is faulty, built upon an imagined soviet union that did not practice the tenants you’re endorsing.
