I did, you claimed that you only need to fight the bourgeoisie and practice central planning to be socialist which I absolutely disagreed with. Like I said you need democratic worker control for socialism.

Hah, I grew up in the soviet occupied Estonia, democracy did not exist and neither did socialism. Advocating for anarchist ideas also got you locked up. I know enough about countries dressing themselves up as socialist to not fall for it. Socialism does not exist without workers democratically controlling the means of production.

I'm guessing you aren't an anarchist because that's mostly about unjust hierarchies, not conflating the word authoritarian.

Socialism and capitalism is about who controls the means of production. In authoritarian countries that would usually be the state or ruling party making it no better than the bourgeoisie of a capitalist country and in socialist ones it would be the workers. I know of no country where the workers control the means of production. Workers having democratic control over the means of production is absolutely essential for socialism.

I need some evidence to believe that authoritarian nations kill and surpress anarchists less than others.

Also none of those nations offer socialism any more than anyone else.

You don't need to side with any hegemony but defending countries that would and have killed anarchist movements makes you less of an anarchist than one that does defend any western power.

Ultimately advocating for anarchist ideals is more likely to work outside of authoritarian governments so I cannot understand how hexbear can defend those. But then again people vote against their interests all the time so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

I tried to understand why they were defending governments like in Russia, North Korea and China but got permabanned for sectarianism.

They aren't like any other anarchist I know and I'm in a local anarchist group. Like no anarchist should ever be defending authoritarian governments.

I'm not gonna do work to buy their games, I'll just pirate them if they make it more annoying than buying.

Inflating money only loses purchasing power if it's tied to the value of something else as I originally said. That was literally my original point.

And what do you mean by USD debt?

So what makes the stuff stores buy more expensive? Like you can create a chain of price raising as far as you want but ultimately it's just someone deciding to raise prices and that creating inflation.

Again, only a handful of countries own US debt and I don't even know how US debt interest rates are going to connect to inflation in other countries. Like China and Japan are the largest debt holders and their inflation is vastly different.

There are a handful of currencies backed by USD but most are not. I only know of Belize dollar, the Hong Kong dollar and the Dirham as backed by USD, as far as I know those are the only ones.

Do you think stores look at the inflation and raise their prices accordingly or do they raise their prices and inflation is calculated based on that? One of those is correct.
