    To Capitalists, there are only two types of governments systems … Authoritarianism or a government working towards Authoritarianism

    When a socialist country does survive ofc libs will whine and complain “waah waah why are these countries with siege socialism so 1984 authoritarian” (which isnt even fully true since they’re significantly less authoritarian than they say)

    Then they let the authoritarians and dictators who claim to be socialists grow so they could point at it and say “See? Socialism bad!”.

      No, they don’t. They label the ones that successfully survive as dictators so they can point and say socialism bad, but that’s not accurate.

      What they actually do is take countries where the system doesn’t obey oil barons, rich landlords or private healthcare executives, and tell us how undemocratic they are for funding public healthcare, education and pensions without the consent of the fascists.

      Incredible to me that in 2026 with the rise of the far right in the west, people still believe the “muh democruhzy” myth.
