      At least red fascists get healthcare. American fascists are really going to need to step up their game on the bread and circus front.

        I would honestly be more pro China if they weren’t so unbearably heavy on the censorship front

          Don’t spread CIA lies, don’t lessen the seriousness of politics. Worked out better for the average Chinese citizen than whatever the fuck the US has been doing.

      if it is fascism that drags 700 million out of poverty in 40 years and lets kids go to college for a several hundred dollars a year, maybe we’ve been too hard on fascism.

              Sure, except in this case one isn’t.
