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.

China is a fascist ethnostate, Russia is another neoliberal capitalist state, North Korea IMO cannot be described as socialist, Vietnam is pretty cool but mixed and only partially socialist, Cuba is not great tbh just in general, Venezuela is horrible, the Nordic states are just Social Democrat states, Israel has multiple worker co-ops but that doesn't change the fact that they're still a genocidal ethnostate, that just about covers all the tankie countries.

Russia has long reached the end state of neoliberal capitalism, fascism. The US is currently transitioning.

Israel is a tankie country now? Don't they support Palestine? Let's not rob tankies of their only correct opinion!

If you think China is fascist, you're brainwashed. There isnt another explanation for thinking the most democratic nation currently on the planet is fascist.
