    I sympathize. Quite a decent amount of the problems you mentioned were, unfortunately, very real problems and the conditions at the time (siege socialism and whatnot) made it hard to fix. I hope you don’t believe that any sane Communist denies this. Also, yes, those who did try to expose corruption did face problems. Your insights are absolutely helpful to remind us that mistakes can absolutely happen and must be prevented at all costs.

    The first generation of people who lived under Socialism experienced massive improvements in living standards (on a scale never seen before), but as their living standards grew, so did their expectations and demands, which Socialism at the time could not provide; the focus on heavy industry by the Eastern Bloc (to reach military parity with the West) took a giant toll in their economies and light industry and plenty of mistakes from within and heavily exacerbated from external pressure led to the demise of Socialism.

    China has learned from the mistakes of the Eastern Bloc and look where it is now! It’s not perfect and it still has ways to go in some aspects, but despite all this, it shows Socialism isn’t dead and is again a global force.

    Just like talking about the bad things is important, however, we must also recognize what Romania was before the Socialist era: It was an underdeveloped (effectively a third world country) Fascist dictatorship led by Ion Antonescu, a scumbag allied with the Axis.

    Yes yes, all buildings in China are made of cardboard and entire cities collapse overnight! It’s true! I work with the CI- I mean a trusted source, like RFA!

    On a side note, I’m pretty sure not even RFA would say something as obviously false as this, but I guess their propaganda knows no bounds.









  • Western media is doing it’s job. Create a false caricature of an enemy, dehumanize it and then gaslight everyone into believing their lies and propaganda and you did a good job at resisting it, comrade.

    When the Ukraine war started and news channels in my country began to air a documentary about Putin’s life story (PUTIN IS A FORMER KGB AGENT KGB BAD SOVIET UNION BAD), I began to have doubts about everything. I was already in a pretty bad mental state back then and seeing everyone siding with fucking Nazis and believing all the bullshit Western Media cooked during the early days of the war definitely didn’t help; got in a few heated arguments and none of them ended well.

    However, watching recent events unfold and the rise of China as a global socialist superpower has reinvigorated my beliefs and cemented the immortal science in my mind and heart.

    And how exactly is it better? Both are puppets of capital and will keep the genocide of the Palestinian people and the war in Ukraine moving. Saying the democrats are better is just pure propaganda. After 4 years of presidency, children are still in cages, anti-trans laws are still being passed, working conditions haven’t improved at all and Guantanamo bay is still operating… I could go on for ages, but I think you get the idea.

    So, how is voting for Democrats any better?
