    Yeah at this point I’m convinced that if the US had a communist revolution and gave half of its land back tankies would still support capitalist Russia over it in international conflicts.

    Like I don’t hate well run state socialism. The good guys won in Vietnam. The medium guys won in 1917. Etc. But I also acknowledge that painting yourself red doesn’t make you communist and being communist doesn’t make you good. There were multiple armed conflicts between communist nations in the 20th century for good reason. Bad people in power can destroy a country built on ideals.

    So yeah I’m a filthy “liberal” (syndicalist) who just dares to want the means of production in the hands of the workers. And I know who turned around and shot those who seized them in Spain when they didn’t let a foreign government control them.
