Yes, because surely I know all these minutia of Russian history, but have never read the most famous book ever written about the Soviet Union. Good response. Very refute. Also, look up “genocidal,” you seem to think it just means murderous generally, and... no. Using it that way makes you sound insane and/or like a…

Only the ones that service residential homes, and even then, not in most places, no. No city is footing the bill for the dumpster behind the Wendy’s. Some places won’t do it for anyone. Most that provide any service do so through a private contractor. That’s why its such a famous thing of Mafia fronts, a la The…

I’m talking about the 1991 All-Union Plebiscite, of course, because there was no international election monitoring to turn to during the interwar period, but please, continue lecturing me about the seventy-year history of the USSR. You seem to really know your stuff.

Why would anything be EXACTLY the same? This is some pretty desperate strawmanning you’re turning to. Black people can vote way more than they used to- yet there’s still a civil rights movement! BUT HOW? I can run Excel on this computer, but some other computer is FASTER? Impossible! Because I’m already running Excel!…

 Yeah, which was different from Anti-Federalism! In totally real ways that existed, because ‘Murica amirite

 Right up until its so shitty that peope DO get to claim ownership over you and kill you. Some allowance must be made for evil peope to be liars who don’t exactly call a spade a spade, no?

Lol, try to tell a Russian that. People who were there at the time must have been some real masochist, seeing as 77% of the voted to keep it up in a free, fair, internationally monitored election.

 Leverage.

 There’s no Marxist dialectic at work here. Words have meanings. Learn them.

Ugh. You’re the idiot whose argument rests on semantics. That’s what he’s telling you. You fucking moron.

The world must be so confusing for you

We have easy credit. But more importantly, no, nobody for mosey of history had ever had or needed those skills and you’re wrong to think we do now. WE make the stuff. WE drive it to the stores. WE stock the shelves and power the lights. And you don’t think there’s a way for US to get ahold of it?

Not everything is about you or your pet issue, dummy.

 The ten hour day is already so short- nobody’s going to turn up to a protest to bring it down to eight, Mr. Spies! And on the first of May? They’ll be spending their incredible leisure time with their families then! No, nobody will ever care about this silly plan you have for a demonstration in the hay market, I’m…

Headcount is in the article. Can you do short division?

 There are large parts of this country where the while population is monochrome. What you’re saying doesn’t mean anything in a world where most Americans still want social security programs, because they’re not stupid, they’re just scared

 Yeah, because there’s noooone of that here in America.

The only part of something is usually the most important part, yes.

Depends on the sector. A strike of government workers is equivalent to a government shutdown. A strike of, say, sanitation workers is more like a total collapse of civilization- and so, for the working people who make civilization happen, a potent reminder that they need us and we don’t need them.
