I was recently looking for movies to watch and I saw this recommended to me. Is it any good or is it just anti soviet propoganda?

Seems to be a positive guy lol

I have noticed that these countries specifically have a high level of anti socialist sentiment when looking at polls and things like that while the other post soviet countries tend to have a high rate of support for socialism. Why is this the case?

All hope is lost

Something we hear a lot about socialist leaders is that they had large kill counts which is obviously going to happen during times of war but I was curious about how many deaths are attributable to Trump.

There are the military conflicts he was involved in, the defunding of government agencies and aid, ICE deaths, Epstein related deaths, COVID, and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting.

So what exactly could we say is a reasonable estimate for his current death count? I think it would be interesting to see his death count as a president in peace times especially compared to socialists who are often seen as murderers such as Che Guevara who at most killed a few hundred, Castro around 18.000, Tito around 500.000 etc.

I recently beat dark souls 3 for the first time but I was really confused about Aldrich being a slime monster. The characters say he ate a bunch of people and he turned into slime. But in his fight he is clearly still normal looking and it seems more like he is just inside the slime instead of actually being the slime himself. And once you kill him the room is still full of slime which makes it seem like the slime is not actually a part of him. So what exactly is all the slime?

I have been looking into my local orgs to participate in my community but I have been confused about them asking if I want to be a member or a volunteer. Its not like you are being paid even if you are a member so what exactly is the difference?

Hello friends, I live in a part of the world that is overrun with cartels and large gangs. They have been enslaving the population and the government cant or wont do anything about it. Our women and children are basically being slaughtered for their organs to be sold. I have read a lot of socialist writings but I have been curious about this topic.

Socialist theory is mostly about combating the oppression of capitalist elites and imperialists but how can socialism address regions that are basically operating under warlordism and not really capitalism proper? Even if you replace the government with a socialist one, what do you do about these organizations filled with people who literally torture and dismember innocent people?

I have gotten several different conflicting responses to this question so I would like to ask it here. Is democratic socialism the idea that socialism should have democratic characteristics such as party members getting elected or is it the idea that socialism can be achieved through democratic means such as elections? Whenever I try to look up democratic socialism its pretty much always just definitions aimed at liberals trying to explain socialism in general but never definitions aimed at other socialists so i am confused on this.

I personally care a lot about protecting children from predators and it seems like there are so many of them around the world. In the US there are at least 800,000 registered sex offenders and it is estimated that only around 12% of instances of child SA are actually reported. This would put the number of child predators potentially in the millions and globally it could be tens or even hundreds of millions of pedophiles.

So what can be done about this in a socialist society? this seems like such a deep rooted issue I would have no idea how to even go about solving this.
