      This image is almost 3 years old already lmao.

      If any libs want to learn how tankies see the future you might want to read about the past for once. Pop history doesn’t count.

        That’s the kicker, Leftists are correct far more often than liberals yet libs never put 2 and 2 together.

          Only if you ignore all the obvious facts that make them wrong. For example two of the “allies” pictured here were never allies.

            Seems to me it’s more saying that NATO’s stated goal for Libya was to “liberate” it, when in reality it was a disaster.

            Either way, I’m more interested in continuing the conversations I tried to have with you regarding Marx’s Law of Value and your understanding of how the PRC functions.

              Ok but Qaddafi wasn’t an ally of the USA.

              Im not engaging in discussions that have zero to do with this thread in this thread.

                You don’t have to respond in this thread, I just want you to give an example on the other thread that you say disproves Marx’s Law of Value, and ideally also elaborate on why you think workers in the PRC had it better 2-3 decades ago compared to today.

      How was Libya, a member of the non-aligned movement, a US ally? They literally were part of a group that took neither side in the Cold War.

      OBL was never an ally. The US gave money to the Pakistani ISI who gave money to fixers who gave money to OBL. There was no direct channel. He was never an ally and it is a weird assertion to make given the history.

      The other two were US allies. Noriega was even friendly with Bush 41. This is just bad history.
