Maybe if people with your ideology only make things that harm you it’s an opportunity to reflect.

    Nothing wrong with communists. I feel so radicalized by capitalism I’m almost there anyway.

    It’s the Russian/China apologists that are annoying.

    Russia is bad, Chia.na is bad, and the U.S. is bad. All those things can be true. But all the insufferable posts about how great China and Russia are, and all the bad things you have heard about them m are just Western propaganda…

    If they were serious about their ideology, then why do they care so much about someone thinks about China or Russia.

    If they didn’t brigade those issues so much, straight up ban people, just because they disagree, or hlrefuse to have any real discussion that doesn’t center on just shutting other people down, then maybe people outside their group might take them more seriously.

      Anarcho communists welcome you. We hate all nation states equally. Unfortunately there aren’t enough of us to brigade anything.

      Some of us are just tired of western people not wanting to get a little nuance about none western countries. And the instance you admit that ofcourse no place is perfect you get hit with. “See x is bad, communism can’t work in reality.” It is tiresome and eventually I end up defaulting to standard answers or blocking people if they are rude.

      On top of that I do think it is amazing how for instance India, China and Vietnam has improved the lives of billions, but every single time it hit western news it is followed by “but at what price”.

      And finally I have realized that things are not always as they seem and the propaganda machine makes it hard to discern the reality of many things. This goes for everything. I have no clue if it actually is dangerous to go USA or it just seem that way.

      I’m sure you’ve had this explained before, how a unipolar world is worse than a detente.
