I see, so your issue is that i talk about “purity” to highlight the corrupting force of foreign threats. So you are upset that i don’t want to place the blame for the harm entirely on the system communism/socialism, okay, if you want me to entirely blame communism for the harm that the states cause, I will. I will act like harm was purely motivated by communism and the logical consequence of communism.
My point isn’t “socialism in real life is bad, but was only forced that way because of imperialists.” My point is that I support socialism, including the development of state power required to protect socialism from sabateurs and imperialists, knowing that no implementation of state power has ever been free of sin. I acknowledge the necessity of protecting socialism, and the immense gains made by these systems for their working classes.
The fact of the matter is that imperialist countries do exist, and any socialist country must therefore develop means to protect itself. This is an internally driven necessity from solving the contradiction between imperialist and subjugated countries. It isn’t something imposed from the outside, but the inside reacting to conditions it is in.
They were absolutely proper, “purity” in constructing socialism is something liberals obsess over.
