Yeah, your issue was you wanted the reform to be systemic, remember? If the reform is not changing the structure of the system you didn't want to call it reform, but administration or something like that. I disagreed and said reform can be incremental and maintain the system, simply with improvements. You provided Marxist literature to support your claim, I provided a dictionary definition and a historical analysis of the word "reform" for mine.

Okay, what would a non-communist Pole say? lol

rejecting Materialism is to say that you believe perception to be reality, rather than reality creating perception

The two can actually create each other, depending on circumstances. Religion, for instance, has created many realities independent of materialism. Particularly in their infancy, before they became large, mainstream churches.

Israel existing in no way forces someone like Saudi Arabia to deal in dollars. This is just dumb. Saudi Arabia can accept whatever currency gives them the most benefit, Israel has nothing to do with it.

Actually no, we could look at quantum mechanics for an example of a way perception itself changes reality, where an observed and unobserved photon will exhibit different behaviors. Perhaps you should stick to philosophy.

You seem to have great faith, I hope you enjoy your religion, though I do hope you can eventually grow past your hatred of the ~~Great Satan~~west. We're really not that evil.

I provided Marxist literature because it's older and proves the historical context of the term "Reform" as it relates to politics. Choosing to keep the form is not reform.

Are you implying that a non-communist pole would have wanted to be under the Nazis? Lol.

Yep, there it is, full rejection of science by yourself.

Bzzzt. Wrong. Saudi Arabia risks war with Israel and by extension the US if they trade in anything other than Dollars, hence the term Petro-Dollar, though times are changing and SA is looking to increase ties with BRICS.

You truly don't understand Quantum Mechanics if this is your interpretation, nor Materialism.

You haven't once genuinely answered anything, except when you implied your support of the Nazis taking all of Poland. The West is evil, yes, and will collapse, yes. America's constant genocides will end eventually and the Global South will throw off US Imperialism, ceasing their exploitation. Trying to call Materialism "religion" and requiring faith when you previously stated that Religion created Reality is ridiculous.
