    And what we’ve found is that while these places are not perfect, they are grossly misrepresented in the west.

    True. However, the Holodomor is still a real thing that happened, the DPRK is still an open-air prison, China is still capitalist, and Russia is currently committing genocide in Ukraine.

    Your anti-communism, sorry, anti-tankieism is indistinguishable from any western liberal who says “socialism works in theory but in practice it just leads to evil dictators.”

    But communism works in practice. It was even very briefly in place in my own country, until the capitalists came and killed everyone. Notice how most supposedly communist countries came to be right after a war that lead them to immense poverty? Communism can only work if a society is prosperous enough, which ironically can be done with capitalism.

    How are you actually different from them if you believe everything they do about socialism? How are you actually a socialist if actual socialists disagree with you and liberals agree with you instead?

    Liberals do not agree with me. They do not want to abolish private property, do not want to hang landlords, do not want to have worker-owned companies.

    Just a bunch of empty impotent, impractical ideas and denunciations of those who did something, who improved things, flawed as they may be, because they weren’t perfect?

    “improved” lmao, that’s why there were massive celebrations in Eastern Europe when the USSR collapsed. Sorry but I’d rather live in a Western capitalist country, even a shitty one like the US, than in the USSR or DPRK.

    I know how much libs hate learning new things

    Same. Liberals cannot conceive anything other than the status quo. However, me not being a liberal, I actually enjoy learning new things about politics. But, I also like learning true things, not obvious lies such as “Russia is denazifying Ukraine” or “akchually, it’s the UN which prevents North Koreans from leaving their country” (actual thing I’ve been banned from Hexbear for arguing against).
