    Marxism Leninism

    They are the original Lemmy devs which is why I joined there. Horrible mistake, reactionary idiots who project their insecurity on others while thinking that they are the only ones who figured out the secret sauce. Pretty much exactly sovereign citizen level quackery.

    look up the word “tankies” to get an idea

      To be fair, how do westerners not treat capitalism and democracy with exactly the same weight? I think both sides would have good reason to argue that neither side has figured out the secret sauce as you say.

      Not a huge stretch to think both the US and Russia treat their citizens poorly, and neither is a model for the rest of the world.

        Because while both are shit, under capitalism I can at least say it’s shit without fear of incarceration or reeducation.

          Russia is also capitalist, and I think you meant to say “democracy” instead of “capitalism” there since authoritarian capitalism is definitely a thing (see Russia and China).
