        There is a world of room between “good” and “ran a child sex trafficking ring”. Clinton may be a POS for many reasons and he may have visited Epstine island and maybe even raped children (we don’t know at this point but anyone in the flight logs is sus). That is all absolutely terrible but it’s still very different than kidnapping 10’s or hundreds of children to rape and pimp. And the files seem to indicate that Trump was actively involved in this scheme for decades.

          Seems to me that once you reach raping children stages there’s no need to split hairs further.

            Fair. I do think scale is sometime important. A single murder is not a genocide. But I can see your POV.

            Regardless, Clinton is awful but IDK what he did on the island. If he did rape kids then I hope they throw his ass in jail.

            There’s no evidence he did anything inappropriate with kids.

            Trump, however, has been accused by multiple Epstein victims.

    Were the Virginia planters keeping sex slaves capitalists though? Most of the capitalists at the time were up north where slavery was illegal by the founding.

            Ireland is a bourgeois democracy, otherwise known as a bourgeois dictatorship.

            https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Library:The_German_ideology#Ruling_class_and_ruling_ideas

            The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas.

                But I was referring to the innate immorality of the state.

                But I won’t deny a certain amount of idealism is required to be an anarchist.

                  Just to be clear, by idealism we mean the conception that thought is prior to matter, ie supernatural explanations for material phenomena. We do not mean having ideals. An example of idealism is ascribing a morality to the state to begin with. There is no such thing as a supernatural “good or evil,” and that’s why Marxists reject such frames of argument.

              You’re bolstering my case, given anarchism’s track record. Communism is founded on historical materialism, not on morality or idealism.

              But you don’t have to subscribe to communism to get value out of letting go of moralism.

            Last I checked, Epstein also ended up dying prematurely, while Stalin continued to be untouchable (who btw. married a 14 year old).

            Thank you for providing us with an concrete example of all states being the the same shit.

            Edit: Ok, apparently Stalin’s second wife was 18 when they married (he was 40 at the time). Sounds like he waited until it was formally legal to do so…

              So a nothingburger. It is absolutely unacceptable by today’s standard for me and many more, not all since in Mexico it’s still fairly common, but Stalin did it in the early 20th century in an especially underdeveloped region, the fact that he “waited” is already a progressive stance for his epoch. Also there is an abyss of difference between marrying a young girl than having a collection or harem of girls to rape whenever one feels like.

              Stalin’s first wife, Ekaterina Svanidze, was 21 years old when they married in 1906. His second wife, Nadezhda Alliluyeva, was 18 years old at the time of their marriage in 1919.

              More Montefiore nonsense no doubt.

              Epstein was just a harem manager for the rich fucks who continue to run around completely unaccountable. Meanwhile, others already pointed out your attempts to spread misinformation here. I guess carrying water for the empire by trying to do the whole both sides bad is really the core identity for anarchists.

              zionist montefiore probably has a totally nuanced perspective to write a biography about stalin, no doubt!

          Allegations from Montefiore famous for lying about having access to unreleased Soviet archives, being a rabid anti-communist and being best friends with Ghislaine Maxwell. Certainly not the most reliable source.

            no, he’s actually both wrong and dishonest in making a false equivalence there

                That’s not what whataboutism is, and even when used correctly, it’s often done in bad faith.
