      You know what? Fuck you. I’ve got better things to do than argue with tankies who imagine that authoritarian regimes are good just because they have red flags and claim to be communist. Do a service to humanity and yourself, and stay out of political discussion until you’ve aquired some education on these issues.

        The first step is denial, shortly thereafter, anger. I know it’s hard to accept that you’ve been lied to your entire life about something, but doing genuine research on socialist governments is what set me free from my own liberalism and it could do the same for you.

        I’m not talking about watching YouTube videos either, I’m taking about reading books. When you’re ready, I recommend starting with Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti.
