You’re saying that Russia and China is anti-imperialistic? One actively is trying to exterminated a country and another is preparing to do the same likely in 2027.

Oh, so because they raise awareness of a genocide happening, it means they don’t like them? It originally started that only a small percentage backs it up. Turns out that percentage is much much bigger.

I dunno, I don’t live in Russia, why should I align with them?

I used links provided.

Oh so when a country with one of the biggest Nazi concentrations claims another is run by Nazis then proceeds to invade it country and tries to exterminate its population that’s ok in your mind?

That’s very ahem “non Nazi” way of looking at things.

Looks like you aren’t really supporting communism you are just supporting terrorizing people with tanks. The word “tankie” couldn’t be any truer.

Well his map doesn’t match the map in the article he posted. I can also push bunch of random shit that doesn’t agree with each other and then argue the person ignored “evidence”.

You know damn well he is full of shit. You are criticizing one imperialistic country while defending other even more genocidal ones.

Just a bunch of Twitter, substacks etc. as much reputable as comments here.

Why are you changing goal posts? Looks like it is more countries than “the core”.

Ukraine also showed how China pressured everyone to not vote yes.

Ok, so Poland seems to recognize it and is not in the “core”…

Turkey seems to recognize it and is not in the “core” …

Taiwan seems to recognize it and is not in the “core” …

Ukraine seems to recognize it and is not in the “core” … Ukraine actually said that after they did China threatened to limit trade and block scheduled delivery of 500,000 covid vaccine doses.

Czech Republic seems to recognize it and is not in the “core” …

Actually looking at the countries supporting and not supporting it looks like divide is more between democracies and dictatorships.

Says who? China?

How about condemning that as well instead of defending it, because US did other heinous things?

Everything points to that trump was likely his business partner than customer.

While I’m sure you are right I think Brave also likely pays for maintaining opinion on social media and posting positive comments supporting it. Many others learned of doing that (for example musk has bots astroturfing its image pretty much everywhere.) Similarly for example you don’t see controversies section about Brave.

Yeah, and those who use that symbol don’t understand the pain and suffering, because they never lived under such regime or they support them, because they are really after authoritarianism.

I recommend book Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin by prof. Timothy Snyder to give clue how many victims both Communism and Nazism claimed.

There’s a reason why they are referred as tankies. They supported using tanks on people during Hungarian uprising.

Ironically MAGA fascists are very similar, because the real goal they are after is authoritarianism.

AFAIK the USSR was the first country to implement communism and it exported it to others. The hammer and sickle originates from them.

So anyone romanticizing those symbols and claiming that this flavor of communism was open to different sexualities, genders, religions, races is extremely ignorant.

It is liberalism that is accepting them, the communism that we had so far is just the other extreme compared to fascism.

Exactly this. Seems like a lot of people romanticizing communism never lived under it.

In practice it is the other extreme compared to fascism.

Since they put hammer and sickle (the symbol of communism ) I would argue the acceptance of sexual orientations, religions, genders, races etc was also a problem there. It is liberalism that accepts it.

The claim about everyone being treated equally is also not completely true. I mean, in theory, yes, in practice whenever communism (especialy the one exported from USSR) was implemented some people were “more equal” than others.

… now taking into account purchasing power, since earnings did not keep up with inflation he was still much better than us.

We are on the same page here. Anyone involved in this is corrupted or in unlikely case they aren’t, there’s plenty of material to corrupt them.

Even if we ignore (yeah I know) the horrible crimes against those kids, those people never represent interests of the people, because with such blackmail material they will belong to whomever has it.

It doesn’t matter what party they are. This is another big reason why I support releasing all files and don’t have problem with “sacrificing” Democrats if there any.
