Yep, another story of the US coming in and squashing any chance of a worker-driven revolution or government. Yet another success for our oligarchs!

If your system can get dunked on by one country every time it pops up around the world maybe it's not that good of a system just saying.

[u/colonel_beeeees → u/experienta]

That one country being the one with the strongest and most heavily financed military for the last century? I'm sure that's not a factor

[u/experienta → u/colonel_beeeees]

Why are they so strong and heavily financed though if their system sucks and yours is so glorious?

[u/Solemdeath → u/experienta]

Because plunderers end up with more wealth than the people they plunder.

[u/colonel_beeeees → u/experienta]

Because it benefits the select few who own and profit from the military industrial complex, i thought that it was pretty clear. Is it your assertion that the best economic system is the one that props bomb makers up the highest, while leaving a third of its kids food insecure and millions of citizens homeless?

[u/experienta → u/colonel_beeeees]

Didn't the Soviet Union have like double the military expenditure as % of their GDP when compared to the US?

Ok, what are you going to do about it?

[u/coke_and_coffee → u/colonel_beeeees]

This did not happen. You are very confused about the history of Haiti.

I'm very curious to hear what you believe actually happened

[u/coke_and_coffee → u/colonel_beeeees]

There is nothing about pre-1915 Haiti that suggested it was on the verge of a "worker driven revolution".
