    On this website alone I’ve been called a lib, tankie, anarkiddie, russian bot, Chinese bot, Russian psyoperative, and fascist.

    They can’t all be true lol.

    My takes are things like “We should understand the material and political realities behind the actions of the USSR so we can replicate the triumphs and avoid the tragedies, some things the Chinese government does are pretty good and people are broadly very satisfied with their government there, western powers feeding Ukranian men into a meat grinder to weaken Russia is bad actually and conscription is evil, governance committees that cannot be held accountable by the people they govern without violent revolt are bound to hurt the people and wander astray from their purpose, and so called ‘liberal democracies’ are neither really”
