Your liberal idealism mistakes imperialist coercion for “choice” and bourgeois metrics for human progress. The USSR lifted semi-feudal societies to industrial superpower status, defeated fascism, and guaranteed work, housing, and education as rights—not commodities. Contradictions like bureaucracy or Lysenkoism were real, but Marxist-Leninists criticize these as deviations under imperialist siege, not proof of socialism’s failure. The “thriving” of post-Soviet states is measured in GDP for oligarchs and EU core capital, not working-class wellbeing: deindustrialization, demographic collapse, and dependent peripheral status followed the “shock therapy” you praise. Ceaușescu’s lavishness was denounced by Marxists as a betrayal of socialist principle, not its essence. Central planning, imperfect under blockade and scarcity, achieved historic gains without colonial plunder. Your argument conflates the degeneration of a besieged workers’ state with the emancipatory project itself. The lesson isn’t retreat to capital, but to advance the struggle with clearer theory and firmer proletarian democracy.

If Israel treated Muslims in Gaza the same way as China does in Xinjiang (providing educations and citizenship), Netanjahu would be hailed to no end

Instead of the Palestine flag it should be a Taiwanese one

Oh look it’s a reddit fash lib that thinks that the US and Israel are bombing school girls to help the protesters in Iran

Muh hypothetical dead Nazi officers and technicians

I had the same problem up in until I had Stalin explain it to me: www.marxists.org/reference/archive/…/09.htm (It’s short, to the point and when one “hence” paragraph after the other comes, you will start to understand)

I second the weekly news and bulletins mega threads by @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net

Libs down voting as usual (likely the .world kind)
