Brazilian Catholic. Autistic. I was a far-right theocrat until about 2009, when I started a gradual but consistent leftward conversion. I now sympathize with Marxism-Leninism, but am still getting up to speed with feminism and the LGBT movement. Please have patience with this newbie.

Hoje sou simpatizante do marxismo-leninismo, mas ainda estou me informando sobre feminismo e movimento LGBT. Por favor tenham paciência com este novato.

Jorge@lemmygrad.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Democratic Party Scrambles to fix image3·24 days agoFalse. China has lower inequality and simultaneously far greater economic growth and more innovation.
And Putin is bad, but not remotely as harmful to world peace as the US regime. The US (both parties) has been involved in literally 200 military interventions just in the last few decades.
Democracy is not when a black woman is chosen as the Nurembeg-deserving war criminal in chief.
Jorge@lemmygrad.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Democratic Party Scrambles to fix image2·24 days agoAre you trolling? Technically there exist other parties, but USian election rules (especially FPTP) are mathematically proven to cause such a huge spoiler effect that, even when a big fraction of voters hate both viable parties, electing a single third-party congressman is very unlikely, and electing a third-party president is nearly impossible.
It is like saying that the Earth is not round, because, strictly speaking, it is slightly bulged.
Jorge@lemmygrad.mlto GenZedong@lemmygrad.ml•The western condescension for actually existing socialism1·24 days agoI supposed that because the Baptista dictator was a US lackey, then Cuba was “western”. So only imperialist (not imperialized) US-aligned countries are “western”?
Here in Brazil, cariocas – people from the city of Rio de Janeiro – have a bad reputation, but I actually had pleasant encounters with people when I stayed in the city for more than a month. I do not know if this is analogous to international tourism, but wanted to share this anecdote.
Jorge@lemmygrad.mlto GenZedong@lemmygrad.ml•The western condescension for actually existing socialism1·24 days agoHi. I a new to marxism-leninism, so please excuse my ignorance. You (just like my fellow Brazilian Jones Manoel) say western Marxism never produced a revolution, but what about Cuba? Do you consider the Cuban revolutionaires to be non-western Marxists?
Civil liberties and women rights are much better in Iran than Saudi Arabia, yet the former is in US-declared “axis of evil” while the latter is a close US ally.
The US has practiced about 200 military interventions just in the last three decades. It killed two millions in Korea, a million in Vietnam, another million in Indonesia, another in the Middle East. It promoted a coup in Iran, which had a secular, progressive, patriotic government, for the crime of nationalizing petroleum, and installed a subservient authoritarian absolute monarch, which was later overthrown – by islamic revolutionaries. The US caused the problem of theocracy in Iran by illegally overthowing the secular government, now you think more US violence will solve it?
The US also promoted coups all over Latin America to overthrow democratic governments and install subservient brutal military dictatorships.
Putin has problems, but he is not remotely in the same category of evil as the US regime.
