EDIT: no, I don’t sympathize with nazis (neither I sympathize with those who call everyone nazi when they’re losing an argument ;)

      Cuba, China, USSR all saw massive gains in just about every measurable metric post revolution because they adhere to the theory that says you have to work to actively suppress the worst urges of the ownership class, aka the people who destroyed the biosphere and possibly life on earth for short term gains. The liberal rely your probably already wanting to type is to whinge about how these systems still had their flaws, arent perfect utopias, are authoritarian (yes, against capital) etc, but at least they get results and aren’t idealism, but actual application of a rigorous program.

        Cuba is your best example, however, it is a socialist state and not communism.

        China has three stock exchanges and is not communist:

        The USSR never got to the “people’s dictatorship”, ya know, because the dictators never completed that step. Despite being a very powerful country at their peak, the USSR only exists as a memory of a failed state.

          I’m too fucking bored of this already. It’s the same uninformed spew from you guys every time. I’m not going to even address your uninformed points here, maybe someone else who gives a shit will, idc.

            “The sky is green and I know you dumb neoliberal are going to try and tell me it’s blue!”

            How do you reconcile the fact that China has more stock exchanges than BurgerlandUSA?

            Pretty hard to defend, so I expected you to claim bad faith and throw in the towel. Your Hexbear friends have better endurance and wit.

                Ok, give me a call when we are about to start the people’s revolution. My mom gave me enough money to get snacks for everyone.

                    You can keep waiting for the revolution, I’ll keep working on getting democratic socialists elected.

                    We can compare notes on who made a bigger difference in a few decades.
