    It might be. But it’s also because you guys are very vocal and support extremism/authoritarian governments

      Communists tend to support Socialist movements worldwide, calling these movements extremist or authoritarian is a matter of perspective that Communists would disagree with.

        Sure, but there’s a difference between agreeing with the general idea and defending everything a country does. Nuance is important.

        If what we consider an authoritarian country isn’t considered authoritarian by communists, then there you have an additional problem

          No Communist defends everything AES states do, though. Communists have nuanced views based on our understandings of the realities faced by and in AES states, and disagree with anti-Communists on these fronts.

              It is, though. Hexbear is frequently critical of China’s actions, just from a Communist perspective.
