Do you people have internet?

I speak of russia generally so I can include USSR and the current state of affairs. I realize they are different but they are both authoritarian.

They be capitalist but they call themselves communists.

I get the vibe you're a big fan of le political compass

Nope. I am just not blindly supporting anyhting called communism.

You don't seem to support anything remotely called communism, except for comrade Sankara. He's great, but why is he the one good ML? How was he not "authoritarian" like the rest of us?

saying it like you do, the imperialist media/state department way, puts emphasis on the "Chinese" part, which we object to for reasons that should be obvious

you people

Communist Party of China, CPC. The country that they are in is China (PRC). A billion people do not live in the "CCP" and your imprecise use of these terms makes you look uninformed.

This is a meaningless statement. Any government that wields power to accomplish things is "authoritarian". It's silly to equate the USSR with the Russian Federation when they are two very different administrations with distinct ideology and policies. Russia for the past 30 years is a capitalist country with an administration originally installed by the US. Putin is a right-wing figure and an anti-communist. I don't like Putin and the other rightists in charge of Russia, but I hope NATO doesn't win out in the East because I don't want the US Empire ruling over the whole world.
