🤣 I was crucified for that comment on some dumb tankie instance (.ml or .hexbear) before I knew better. They stalked my profile for weeks and downvoted everything I did. I just thought it was sad because who gives a damn about fake internet points.

Makes me glad they're too terminally online to stalk people in real life for writing mean things about Stalin. Because they seem like they'd be up to it

Wastes more Earth's natural resources than any other country, contributes the most to global warming, uses massive government subsidies to its corporations to undercut concurrent players in market, still has billionaires, fosters raging consumerism in the world.

But most of these things are okay for .ml folks, because "West does something similar too".

To beee fairrrr, this isn't true when adjusting per capita (which should be mandatory when comparing these things). The other points are accurate.

Not exactly true but also not as far from the truth as many people believe

I mean yeah China used communism to rapidly industrialize & develop technologically & then they became state-capitalists.

What's so problematic about that
