I will not defend Stalin and I will not defend the CCP. Just because capitalism isn’t good doesn’t mean that we have to glaze imperialist states. Ask Ukraine and the Baltic states how good they had it during the USSR; my point being that pro-USSR sentiments are largely just pro-Russian propaganda.
China is doing some good nowadays, but it still definitely has corruption. There are still billionaires, polluted air, capitalistic factories—which have terrible working conditions and sell cheaply made carcinogenic products, they’re building AI data centres—some of which will boil the water temperature, bans citizens from accessing a lot of websites, etc.
I even decided to join a solidarity website and it mentioned f**cking Kim Jong-Un as a leftist figure ffs 💀. Literally, ANY North Korean defector will tell you how bad the North Korean regime is. The site had no mention of actual decent examples like Peter Kropotkin, Nelson Mandela, Thomas Sankara, Martin Luther King Jr, or even Pierre-Joseph Proudhon.
Edit: did not know that Proudhon was a bigot. My bad; thanks immensely for telling me.
Are you unaware that the US and Great Britain actually failed to check Hitler because he was “good for business,” and businessmen liked his policies?
Thru Emilyeventually got involved because the fascists threatened Western business hegemony.Sure buddy, sure. Is this “business” with you right now?

We’re talking about who started ww2, not some conspiracy bullshit lol.
This is historical fact, and you might search before openly and proudly displaying your ignorance. I gave you a clue, but you hurl insults, rather than seek intellectual nourishment. And that’s been discussed elsewhere, as well, petulant children who would slap the medicine from the hand that offers it, rather than taking the medicine.
Who cares, it has nothing to do with the discussion.
Blocked.
Comrades, this is why the revolution will fail.
There will be no revolution in the west. China will have to either save us or pick up the pieces. I hope I’m wrong.
China being non-interventionist makes “saving” us a non-starter, and Putin doesn’t seem to be reconsidering his pivot to capitalism, either.
May I briefly barge into your DM? I have a question for you that doesn’t belong here.
Are you stupid or 12?
