That’s exactly my point lol. The measure which work in India are the same ones which work everywhere. But because India is a capitalist country, it gets to use these and claim to be a “democracy” and for its progress to be recognised as capitalism’s progress. While the same measures, when it results in the betterment of people in China, Vietnam, Cuba etc in even greater measures is somehow a bad thing and something to be criticised. Like, India is a case study in how neoliberal, austerity-driven capitalism literally cannot work when you have 1 billion plus people who’ve been colonized and need the government and even the billionaire-backed government in charge knows this. If they enact 100% of the capitalist agenda, there will be a revolution tomorrow. And the India state is nowhere near as capable of suppressing it as the American one.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
