China and the DPRK are oppressive, authoritarian states, and we should defend Ukraine’s right to self determination. I guess that completely nullifies my socialist beliefs because I don’t blindly love every government that brands itself as communist

Ah yes, Ukraine's right to self determination after the west overthrows the democratically elected government and turns it into a literal dictatorship where elections have been cancelled. Thank you for providing a human face to the meme.

As per usual, obliviousness in place of an argument from red libs

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Either that or engaging with such incredible lies is a waste of time. But hey, they said something you don't like, so "red lib."

What lies are you talking about?

Citizens in China of all ethnicities are satisfied with their government, even Harvard, Pew, and Statista quote a number higher than 90%.

If they're authoritarian, what is Klanada, where like 30% were satisfied with the government but all their options are somehow "the same" or "more nazi"?

I happen to agree with you on those but (much like yourself, probably) disagree with the US State dept on Cuba and Israel. Which I reckon makes me more of a leftist than all those tankies simping for Russia, which hasn't had anything to do with communism for over 3 decades.

Lmao. Lenin had it right with "Left Communism: an Infantile Disorder". You're not a better leftist because you agree to hate the enemies of the US on their schedule while toothlessly condemning the US in the way they approve of.
