    No country has achieved full, what the layman would term communism; mostly because Amerika keeps interceding and fucking over millions of people at a time every time someone they were exploiting tries to take the first step of socialism, you absolute rifle. And real talk, how do you suggest dealing with potential reactionaries trying to tear your government down? 'Cause uh, I think if you intend for a hard-leftist political mission to go forward, you’re gonna need to remove some fuckin reactionaries. Or do you traffic in morally-pure, bloodless coups? Your forebears didn’t.

      Yes, and let’s not pretend that western governments have never killed/silenced people for political reasons either. My grandmother could testify that there was a lot of sussy stuff was happening in US under the cover of WW2 and she personally knew people that were being underhandedly executed for spy accusations and whatnot.
