Comment on The fact that this is a real image is infuriating

  Are you claiming that people condemning invasion of Ukraine are bad then?

  How’s that related? Of course not. Modern Russia isn’t the former USSR, conflating both is absurd.

  Because “the entire west” does not condemn true socialism, or communism

  Questioning the contemporary western-fabricated narrative of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact gets you labeled redfash by libs and communist (as a demeaning word) by the right, who supports actually existing socialism in the west?

  The UK general election in 2019 had 40% of seats go to Corbyn, vs 42% going to the Tories

  So 82% of seats go to either radical economic liberalism and social conservatism, or to milquetoast socialdemocrats, how does that not reinforce what I’m saying?

    I’m with you, comrade. People on Lemmy need to understand that as long as you’re playing by capitalism rules, you’ve already lost. Liberal ideologies are a losing game, you can’t win if you’re playing the same game as the people who WILL use their money and power to oppress you. This american election is the proof. A man with 400+ billion can play by any rules in the capitalism game.
