I will not defend Stalin and I will not defend the CCP. Just because capitalism isn’t good doesn’t mean that we have to glaze imperialist states. Ask Ukraine and the Baltic states how good they had it during the USSR; my point being that pro-USSR sentiments are largely just pro-Russian propaganda.
China is doing some good nowadays, but it still definitely has corruption. There are still billionaires, polluted air, capitalistic factories—which have terrible working conditions and sell cheaply made carcinogenic products, they’re building AI data centres—some of which will boil the water temperature, bans citizens from accessing a lot of websites, etc.
I even decided to join a solidarity website and it mentioned f**cking Kim Jong-Un as a leftist figure ffs 💀. Literally, ANY North Korean defector will tell you how bad the North Korean regime is. The site had no mention of actual decent examples like Peter Kropotkin, Nelson Mandela, Thomas Sankara, Martin Luther King Jr, or even Pierre-Joseph Proudhon.
Edit: did not know that Proudhon was a bigot. My bad; thanks immensely for telling me.
If you want to join a space that openly rejects all past socialist projects, leaders, and movements your best option would be to join a liberal space because aside from some revisionists few leftists would happily embrace US propaganda.
Did you even read their post?
Ok maybe, but they’re not talking about US propaganda.
They’re talking about the alt empires that all collaborate with the US empire on global statism, global capitalism, nationalism, etc.
US propaganda 💀. Yeah, the US sucks balls, but these leaders ain’t good people either.
Sometimes I’m surprised you’re on this instance.
Its an objective fact that should any Anarchist project be established successfully the same lies spread about previous socialist projects would be spread about it as well, once you believe the lies of US imperialism you would be willing to believe anything
Facts. I’ve always appreciated your takes.
