Not a socialist, but I am genuinely curious.

Is there any socialist revolution that you wouldn't class a fascist?

OK, that's as good an answer as any.

Salvador Allende got couped three years after his election. Are there any ways you can think to prevent a foreign power from undermining future hypothetical socialist governments that wouldn't be authoritarian?

Could you show this meme to any of your friends or family and succesfully explain a) why it's funny and b) who it's for ?
