@avi2022@HistoPol@argv_minus_one@w7voa the same was said about Viet Nam and Korea. The game changer was and continues to remain foreign direct support for asymmetric warfare.
No military, --not even the united states-- can resist or defeat sustained guerrilla tactics from a determined enemy that receives tactical, logistic, and military aid from a well funded foreign nation or coalition with access to a modern counterintelligence service. The us couldn't do it in iraq, they couldn't do it in Afghanistan, and no amount of aircraft carriers will do it for Israel.
When you kill indiscriminately the peacetime population you generate freedom fighters. Its why the hearts and minds doctrine was so critical in Iraq. Once the us abandoned it, they effectively lost the war.
Capitalists abhor Marxist Leninist communism because it is predicated on the scientific method in its governance. Ideas are followed by theory, experiment and practice. Tangible metrics of an outcome determine not only a theories success but its reasonable inclusion in the parties governance. Silly ideas like eliminating corporate taxes serve no purpose as they are indefensible conjecture at best, and bad propaganda at worst.

@nugger@deprecated_ii Jesus my dude I agree with the sentiment, megacorps sherlock and crush even the most mundane competitors with impunity through clandestine and overt subterfuge employing the legal system that acts in their sole interest as an anticompetitive cudgel. I'm just trying to help a brother make a point without sounding like forest gump
