It's something that really bothers me about communism and socialism being derisive in the US, even in 2024, about 35 years after USSR fell.
The alternative to community-centric society is autocracy, typically devolving into monarchism.
Death to monarchists!
I also noted this was a problem with the Rebel Alliance (who just supports a republic of oligarchs), and was called a centrist for my efforts.
See, they shouldn't have gone with the First Order. They should've had the New Republic stamp out the Empire, only to create a new empire itself.
"But they're the good guys!"
God how true this is for all the America bad people
Lemmy has wayyyy to many people who can't understand that America bad ≠ China good.
I was banned from /r/Latestagecapitalism for not agreeing with "China good", tried to explain the opposite: "China bad ≠ America good". They didn't care.
That's why I don't support governments or countries, I support people and anarchist liberation movements :3
Exactly! I'm so tired of being accused of being a liberal and/or a fascist every single time I note that China or Russia isn't some perfect leftist utopia, but in fact just another empire that is a pain in the ass not only to other countries but also their own citizens.
