The large majority of communists hold similar views, especially considering everything I said was factually true. Communists do exist, that shouldn’t be “incredible” to you. I am from the US Empire, yes, I do org work, and have spoken with people from former and existing socialist states.
Not really sure what you’re trying to do, mockery doesn’t invalidate any of the points I’ve made or the sources I bring up, it just gives me the opportunity for others to see that anti-communists don’t really have any points of their own to bring to the table.
You being from the US makes a lot of sense considering how absolutely clueless you are to what really is going on in the countries you’re talking about.
I lived through the tail end of the USSR’s “communism”, my parents lived IN that.
The reality of it is: USSR was a totalitarian dictatorship. There was nothing communist about it. Saying it was communist is just being extremely naive and ignorant. I mean, they themselves were always talking about how they’re “on the road to reaching communism”, they themselves didn’t think of the USSR as communist.
But even if we assume it was “not yet communist, but socialist” - it’s still bullshit, because, again, it was a totalitarian dictatorship.
And China? How can you see all the billionaires and CEOs of privately held companies and say “yeah, that’s socialism where the workers own the means of production”?
The large majority of those who lived in the USSR regret its fall. When socialism was ended, poverty skyrocketed and the economy collapsed. The USSR was socialist, I never once said they reached communism (no matter how much you love inventing my words). It was not a “totalitarian dictatorship,” no matter how much you keep asserting that it was. I know people that think Donald Trump was sent by God to save the world, anecdotes don’t mean anything.
The PRC has a socialist market economy. It isn’t devoid of private property, but public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy. It’s in the developing stage of socialism:
None of your points were based on anything I said, or anything other than your anecdotes. You aren’t being serious here.
My God, you seem to actually believe all this stuff… It’s incredible to me!
Are you from the US?
