STOP BEING A TURD-WORLDIST

Why the USA in particular, I could understand why you would say Europe for example but why is the USA particularly revolutionary even among its western peers?

Ohohoho I'd like to see a first-worldist try to defend this one.

The USA is falling apart and the swell in right populism looks to be winding down between Trump being a fuckup and the recent debacle where the aut-right outed themselves as nazis. In addition more young people see socialism as better than capitalism, even if it is the meme socdem version, and communism has been sanitized with conservative pundits claiming everything was Marxist for decades now. So we have a population living in deteriorating conditions that is not particularly ethnocentric or religious, and can't be imperialized by the US to boot. It could also happen in Europe mind you, but it still ill most likely happen in the west.

I'm not MTW in any sense of the term but this is complete bullshit. Just one year ago India had the largest strike in world history: theintercept.com/2016/09/06/indians-staged-one-of-the-largest-strikes-in-history-but-no-one-on-u-s-cable-news-covered-it/
It's estimated that around 100 million workers participated.

The Vietnamese communists fought America not because they hated Americans but because they were resisting American domination.

There have been numerous revolutions and attempted revolutions in the Third World many proclaiming internationalist principles. May 1968 and the Portuguese revolution were the closest that the First World has come to revolution in a long time; I might also add , that G20 was a ray of light in the respect that it was aimed against capitalism in toto rather then just bad trade deals or borders or corporate greed or some shit.

These things aren't exclusive to the Third World. Donald Trump isn't president and ending amnesty for children of illegal immigrants because the American population is a paragon of anti-religious materialist thinking and enlightenment values. Now America does have its own history of resisting backwards prejudices and a legacy of enlightened thought and values and thats part of why we're seeing the pushback against Trump. But its not like Indian workers aren't fighting Modi for instance

America is perhaps the most radical country in history. Even from the beginning, the fact that the US was the first nation based not on race, religion, or a divine right of kings, but an idea was truly radical for its time. The abolitionist movement, the labor movement, the women's movement, the civil rights movement, the student movement, even today with Occupy and BLM we see that history playing out. The only other country which even comes close to this is France.

Indians also overwhelmingly voted for Modi, a Hindu fascist. In fact, Nazism is far more popular in India than it is anywhere else in the world right now (that pan-Aryanism). Fighting between Hindus and Muslims is far worse and on a much larger scale than the fighting between blacks and whites in the US. In some parts of India, Muslims are outright second-class citizens.

Viet Cong was never communist, just left-wing nationalist. They're a terrible example, right up there with Gaddafi and Mugabe. Vietnamese have historically been highly chauvinistic towards other ethnic groups in Indochina too.

Untrue. Again, nearly all of those "socialist" revolutions were nationalist first, socialist second. Or more precisely, they used socialism as a means of advancing nationalism and ethnocentricism. Groups like Hezbollah do the same where they're essentially Shia fascists who throw around Marxist rhetoric just to get those South Beirut slum votes.

And since Trump took power we've seen the biggest leftist revival in modern American history.

wew lad that's an impressive attempt at gaslighting

sorry bud but that old republic was based on only WHITE men having PROPERTY being allowed to vote. Hardly "truly radical for its time"

forgot to capitalize MEN as well sorry womyn

I like how you claim India is not a valid example because a portion of the population is right wing and racist, and then absolve the US of exactly the same because reasons.

He thinks Russia is a third world country.
You follow a retard who doesn't even know what he is talking about.

Not him. Russia IS a 3rd world country, no?

No

How, in any measurable way, is Russia not a 3rd world country?

It's population is white, which is quite frankly the criteria third worldists have for a country being 3rd world or not.

I can't fucking believe it.
Compare Russia with real third world countries like Congo.
Russia is 2nd world country at worst.

How is Southern US not a 3rd world country?

But that kind of exclusionary policy was challenged shortly afterward.

Indians aren't challenging Modi the way Americans are challenging Trump.

...

So, where are the massive strikes that are comparable with what happened in India? Where's the massive armed guerilla war affecting millions and millions of people and effectively ceding government control to the rebels?
How many right-wing paramilitary leaders have been assassinated by Left-wing rebels in the US?

I also think it's funny you believe in the validity of Indian elections because it never has been anything more than a Potemkin democracy.

Apples to oranges much?

Yet both are considered third world countries by Roo and his followers.
Do you finally see how retarded they are?

It's not because they aren't comparable, that it doesn't mean they aren't third world both. It would be like saying "Brazil is much better than Sierra Leone, so of course it can't be a 3rd world country!" Stop being dellusional

Someone is still living in the Cold War era

Many of these things were going on in India before Modi, and even so Modi still has large support from the general Indian population.

Do you even live in the first world? This is totally not a thing that's happening on any relevant scale.

If you're ever in the US and you have the chance to hit the road, leave the cities and the interstate and drive some rural route or country highway. You'll see devastation on par with Mogadishu.

I live on the east coast and I've recently traveled in a rough triangle between Charleston, SC, Youngstown, OH, Pittsburgh, PA, and back south. It doesn't matter where you go, it's just bombed out, deserted town centers and endless farmland or dilapidated urban sprawl, particular in old industrial regions where suburbs popped up. It's abysmal.
