I think it's a good thing when the working class is in charge and capitalism, fascism, slavery, and monarchy is eradicated and those who would uphold them are frustrated by force.

Keep supporting western imperialism, homophobia, racism, Euronationalism, and anti-communism with Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Adolf Hitler, Pinochet, Milei, Trump, Kier Starmer, Merz, Macron, Netanyahu, Zelensky, and all your far-right buddies.

Socialist countries generally have better safety nets, like China. Even Cuba, poor and sanctioned as it is, takes better care of its poorest than capitalist countries do.

Russia isn't imperialist, it doesn't have a stake in the global financial monopoly that it uses to plunder the world. The west does though, Italy included.

China isn't socialist because their party is called the Communist Party of China, but because public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy and the working classes are in control of the state. They do let people report on their systems, what they don't do is allow imperialist countries like the US and European countries to interfere or attempt regime change.

The far-right generally doesn't care about Ukraine or Russia, what they want is for imperialist countries to stop giving aid to Ukraine. The far-right also has anti-semites that oppose Israel not because Israel is fascist and committing genocide, but because it's Jewish. You do realize that your far-right views are aligned on your view of socialist countries and support for western imperialism?

Fascism has never been stopped by electoralism. Fascism is capitalism in decay. Italy is absolutely capable of being considered fascist, it's an imperialist country with a right-wing government. I also gave you clear examples of Kiev suppressing ethnic Russians, slaughtering them and erasing their language. You're projecting hard and trying to hide behind insults.

No, you're ridiculous. Putin is a nationalist, sure, but Russia isn't imperialist like the US and western Europe. Kim Jong-Un and Xi Jinping are socialists, not fascists like Macron, Trump, Starmer, Merz, etc. Lukashenko is popular in Belarus, and independent sites exist in China all the time.

You're an admitted Euronationalist, a supporter of imperialism and a demonizer of socialism and socialists, a racist, a homophobe, all around far-right. I'm a communist, and support socialist countries and oppose imperialism. The government in China in particular is extremely popular, with over 90% approval rates even when taken by western orgs, and a more genuinely democratic government than any western country:

I'm indeed "stubborn" in that I'm consistent in supporting the working classes and opposing imperialism.

/s doesn't take away from the point, it's just an indicator. In this day and age, it's legitimately impossible to tell otherwise sometimes.

People license themselves into believing that that which benefits them is good. They aren't married to the ideas, they willingly choose to believe them until their material conditions prove them inaccurate through their new lived experience. Red Sails has a series on "brainwashing" that I consider critical reading for anyone wanting to agitate, especially Roderic Day's Masses, Elites, and Rebels: The Theory of "Brainwashing."

Trade isn't the same thing as capitalism, to be fair. Socialist countries also exist.

Then we explain it to them until they get it. It's not hard to explain that capitalists are those who own capital, and liberals are those that support capitalism.

That's why terms like liberal are useful.

I bet he would.
