Not very relevant distinction for the murdered children

Communists don’t advocate for genocidal or imperialist states, though, you may be confusing reality with CIA propaganda

Yes, Argentina suffered a CIA sponsored fascist regime that consolidated the wealth, media and power of the country in a select far right elite, and they’re still suffering the consequences, this is part of the same problem

exactly why hexbears don’t have comrades

I have plenty of online and IRL comrades, not sure what you mean.

Simping for dictators

I’ve never simped for dictators, you just mistake “foreign nation with geopolitical interests opposite from the US” with dictators.

My dear democracy-lover, what’s your opinion on the recent push for grassroots democracy in socialist Vietnam? They’re eliminating an entire echelon of bureaucrats quickly and giving the budgets and decision-making power directly to local councils to administer directly. Surely since you’re a democracy lover you’re aware of this and you support it?

Third such fundraiser too! Here’s to many more, maybe the trend goes to other instances?

Thanks for the candid words. It seems that people get more bothered over theoretical ideological points than the results of the theory. I’ll be very happy if .world users decide to own hexbear epic style and do a 10 times larger fundraiser for Palestine

The state already chooses what people can read or say. I live in the EU, all Russian media are banned here. I fundamentally don’t disagree with banning Russian media, but it proves that this already happens, it’s just that the state sees that generally western media dominate internationally and it allows us to read it.

In the context of China, if the alternatives are between banning western media and not banning it, the success of the Chinese model and its resilience against western intelligence and propaganda make it obvious to me that the firewall was the correct choice in retrospect, however unsavory it may seem from the outside.

Since you’re so excited about being exposed to all media: do you personally go out of your way to watch Russian, Chinese, Cuban or Iranian media and engage with their citizens online, or does your “media freedom” de-facto result in you exclusively consuming western sources?

The alternative is “free speech” dominated by western tech oligarchs in platforms subjected to intelligence monitoring and constant western interference. It’s exactly these things leading to murderers like Bolsonaro and Milei being elected.

Awful stuff they do, or things they say you don’t like? Two very different things.

Hard to have comrades when you’re an anticommunist!

I’m not “dick measuring” countries, you just systematically perform western-biased analysis of what are good and what are bad actions. For instance, you’d criticise the Chinese internet firewall or the Russian support to Assad, when the realistic alternatives are measurably worse. It seems that “lesser evil” to you guys is something that only applies to western genocidal maniacs and not to actually significantly different nations.

Not everything, but as things stand, most things yeah. It’s what happens when you concentrate power for 100 years in one or two capitalist nations.

To you, “nuance” simply means “other nations must be even worse, look, I saw it on my western disinformation”

“Yeah, they may be one of the safest spaces for Trans people on the internet, unapologetically antizionist and anti imperialist, and raise thousands of dollars for struggling Palestinians, but did you know that they dunked on me once when I said that China is bad?”

Every source of positive information about China can safely be disregarded by right wing nationalists like you as “fake news”, literal MAGA strategies

Sure, advocating for “most-lethal-armed-forces-in-the-world Harris” would have totally saved Gaza, it’s not like the ramping up of the genocide started during Democrat rule, and not like Democrats were sending the cops to beat up anti-genocide protestors at universities!

Then organize your own fundraiser and triple the amount, the more the merrier!

Nobody simps for Russia over in Hexbear, internal policy is terrible, but the fact is that it’s been forced by the west to adopt many anti-imperialist policies, which communists are right to offer CRITICAL support

Argentina fell for western misinformation in western platforms, entirely unsurprising that these things happen when people are exposed to that shit

If you want historical exmaples of countries solving their housing crises, you could look at state-owned housing such as in the Eastern Block or in Cuba. Recently, Vietnam also took a huge step by putting the army to renovate housing built outside the legal norms.

Saunas aren’t even particular to Nordic countries. Baltic countries have them too, and they’re also very popular and traditional in some Slavic countries.
