Awwww you probably thought that was clever wordplay how cute

??? How is that what you're claiming?

Just try to make an account without pronouns on hexbear, you'll see it is impossible.

There are more than a hundred million Chinese people in the CPC and it has a 95.5 percent approval rate. If you hate the government but love the people that implies some prejudice about how Chinese people are in order to approve of their government.

Yes.

And because you are against those things your conclusion is to support the next bad actor on the world stage?

What a terrible take.

China is a lot more ethical than the US? And russia will never be more than a regional superpower, and anti-colonial theorists basically all agree that multiple poles of power in the world is good for anti-colonialist struggle.

Could you link me to the comment that meets this criteria

They are self-avowedly more interested in trolling, harassing other users, and crapping on other people’s politics.

They did use the word "another instance" on this instance, so there might be some language ambiguity that is being misread.

Edit: also it appears you host vaushites on this instance, so it appears the way you interpreted it seems correct.

For example, 40 percent of homeless youth in the US are queer, socialist "everyone should have a home" policies really help the most marginalized queer folks.

You cannot be pro Soviet, pro Russia, pro China or whatever else and LGBT+.

Communist countries generally speaking are better on lgbtq rights for their economic development.

You can't be a capitalist and be pro-lgbt. Cuba, a marxist leninist democracy, has the most lgbtq rights in the world.

Also the reunification threw back lgbt rights in east Germany decades.

The stasi were assigned to defeat subversion by lgbt activists. Their recommendation, which was followed, was to give the activists all the rights they asked for.

We don't have downvotes because some asshats were targetting trans posts(those asshats were purged) so we comment when we disagree.

Just so you know, CPC or communist party of China

as opposed to CCP, or Chinese communist party,

is what they call themselves, and does not have certain racist connotations that CCP does.

Who owns the "free" press again?

No, it isnt. We at hexbear say "the illegal and undemocratic dissolution of the Soviet Union was the largest humanitarian disaster of the latter half of the twentieth century" and bemoan the loss for human rights(more notably for women, lgbt people, and ethnic minorities) caused by the destruction of the Eastern block.

What we say is that you have to look at the outcomes of weapon distribution by NATO to Ukraine.

Ukraine just wasted a lot of material on one last big push and they didn't do squat. The Ukrainian state has exhausted its ability to conduct offensive operations, and attrition in both absolute quantity and in percentage has been on the Russian's side since the second stage of the war, so what's going to happen now is that Russia will slowly encroach on the rest of Ukraine until they meet their military and political objectives.

So, do we give them more weapons, make their losing war even bloodier for them and the Russians, or do we accept that they've lost, and stop giving the government more time to keep killing conscripts?

Not reliably. If it was reliable at any point the US would have used nukes on someone else by now.

Don't forget putting the OUN... er... ukrainian trident on that old monument.

It isnt reliable. That's the point. Also, note that it isn't for ICBMs, but short and mid range BMs.

I know what the Nazis did thanks.

You sure don't fucking act like it if your comparing what they did to suppressing fascism.

Yes.

During the protests and not absolutely surrounded by gun wielding guards.

While this is a true statement it does not follow that preventive actions against people who hold fascist views, but do not act on them, is anyway different what the Nazis did to people.

You know the nazis just killed people on the scale of millions for being Jewish or gay or disabled right? It is not equivalent to suppress nazi rallies and arrest nazi leadership, because they can always stop being nazis, or learn to shut the fuck up about it.

The USSR Politburo only cared about itself. Same with the CCP and the Kim family. These are extractive institutions that are only self serving. They are not beholden to anyone so they have no incentive to care what the people want.

These are just claims. If the USSR politburo cared only for itself, why give regional and ethnic autonomy? Why increase standards of living and give women more rights?

If the CPC cared only about itself why didn't it just do what the KMT was doing prior to their victory?

Kim was a revolutionary fighting the Japanese. He could have joined the nationalists where self enrichment was more likely if he won. Also, the DPRK implemented even more directly democratic programs than other socialist States. Unions and the state jointly oversaw all medium and large production lines, with supervision from the women's league among others.

He didn't get the right to lead from inherently being a great man.

Great man theory isn't this. Great man theory is analyzing history from the top down, where the personalities of leadership is overly emphasized over structures of power.

The fact Cuba didn't become like North Korea is great. If Cubans aren't giving meaningful mechanisms for dissent going forward, they will have little recourse to prevent their government from becoming like the Kim regime.

Yes, I'm glad the US didn't brutally occupy half of Cuba and then kill twenty percent of Cuba when the other half fought to liberate their country.

You know Cubans are free to criticize their government right? The current president literally walked the streets and talked to protestors recently. Could you imagine a US president going to Minneapolis and talking to BLM protestors in the street?

Two wrongs don't make a right. If we go that route we are going to become the thing we are trying to prevent.

No, we will become people who suppress nazis, which is not the same as being a nazi. For an allegory, killing a serial killer in self defense (but before he actually kills you, gasp) does not make you a serial killer.

Rather than a difference in government structure, I would point to a difference in leadership. I personally believe Castro really did believe in socialism and had the best interests of the Cuban people at heart. As great as that is, a system of government that depends on the benevolence of its leaders is not one I want to live under.

So why don't you believe any of the other leaders believed in socialism?

Also this is great man theory taken to an extreme.

Also I dont know how you can look at any of their government structures and claim that the people were reliant on the benevolence of the leadership.

Reading those east German men be like "yeah I prefer it now that women have to stay with me for economic reasons, before you had to be like, interesting and care about them or something" really drives it home in a different way too.
