  • It’s not that the West “was” antagonistic but “is”, while you elide the fact to throw in with Anglo-American CIA and Foreign Office talking points against staple targets of Western aggression: Russia, China, Cuba, and North Korea for good measure. As I said, vanguard of imperialism.

    You have unironically exclaimed “how on earth can an anti-democratic uniparty ever be Democratic” (with a capital D, as in party, lol)? When you’re serious about tackling your own govts with the fervour you cheerlead regime change in lesser countries, only then socialism in the collective West could be taken seriously. China and Venezuela have more active democracy and socialism than that.


  • … let’s get some historical conditions straight: USSR was a wartime communism born and deformed by Western invasion (from USA and allies, no less) and persisted under a state of seige, so it didn’t have the luxury of a more democratic communism envisioned by Lenin. Even today, aligned with Trotskyist permanent revolution everywhere but their own govts, the same usual suspects are angling by invasion or insurgency to break up and loot Russia (along with China) who isn’t caught off-guard this time. Existential then, existential now.

    I would also love to know what you think of the standard bogies of Cuba and Venezuela, or heck, even ML Vietnam or Kerala.
