like you want to talk about the red scare and state department propaganda meanwhile you’re regurgitating it directly, doing the exact same shit when our government claims that authoritarian regimes are communist as a means of delegitimizing the concept to the general public. the projection is genuinely psychotic, but you do you boo

It’s literally known as being like 1 of the 5 existing Marxist governments, what are you talking about 😭 along with Cuba, Vietnam, China and Laos I’m regurgitating Cold War propaganda by identifying one of the five existing Marxist states? WHAT DOES AUTHORITARIAN MEAN TO YOU. I’ve asked you a million times

oh my god it was simply to prove a point in a concise manner, but if you’d rather a list of scholarly sources (that you’d ignore), we can go that route too let’s not act as if you were engaging genuinely though. ask yourself, could any amount of evidence against your perspective actually change what you believe? could any amount of logical reasoning actually persuade you?

Bruh who do you think has the default American perspective we’re taught from a young age and who do you think has the deconstructed perspective formed after years and years of research and study. You’re projecting. The fact that you claim to be a communist but then spout anti communist propaganda blindly and claim I’M the one who isn’t engaging genuinely is extremely laughable My perspective USED to be yours! Helllloooo. Just like any other American exceptionalist brainwashed view

It’s almost like racism where hardcore west bad people claim that non western nations are incapable of crimes against humanity and running horrific governments. No we’re all humans and corruption is a global issue

They are literally fighting for russia in the Russian invasion of Ukraine and that isn’t a US government rumor it’s literally in concrete video proof. If you counter this by saying the Russian invasion of Ukraine is justified war then that’s just you supporting the evil empire. It’s not propaganda to point out that that country is ruled by an iron fist and juche is authoritarian. Just like how we don’t deny that our country is ruled by capitalistic inequality.

tbh I would not be surprised if they justify the Russian invasion of Ukraine next.

Like no China has an imperial history of conquest and assimilation and legendary progress stretching back millennia they just fell apart and rebuilt in the 20th century like they’ve done many times in the past. It’s unfair to them to say that they’re not imperialist for example
