(citation needed)
also, yeah, bombs are one thing, and i see your argument there.
however, what moves people is largely the economic situation. people get dissatisfied with the US today because incomes are declining for the masses.

I never said America was free of problems.
That’s the issue with people like you; you see zero nuance. Any criticism of any (pseudo-)socialist group must be met with Whataboutism or other bad faith arguments.

I’m happy to concede it’s zero without looking it up; it makes no difference to either of our positions here.
It’s just a Red Herring for you to mount a soapbox to tell me and anyone who hasn’t blocked you yet how China Did Nothing Wrong and America Did Nothing Good.
That’s why people evidently keep calling you a tankie, and that’s how you and I differ so I never get called a tankie.
TL;DR: Not All Socialists Are Tankies, but All Tankies Think All Socialists Are Tankies.
