Fidel Castro is morally superior to every US president.
Based
A very low bar that Fidel soars over without even getting close. Even Gaddafi and Assad are better than every US President lmao
No shot on that.
That’s not saying much.
Counterpoint: Fidel is the reason Trudeau exists
Jimmy Carter?
Supplied arms to support genocide in Indonesia, among other crimes. Him building homes now is just some light penance before he’s shipped off to hell. https://fair.org/media-beat-column/jimmy-carter-and-human-rights-behind-the-media-myth/
Set up all the groundwork for funding the Mujahideen terrorists in Afghanistan, the funding of the dictatorship and death squads in El Salvadore, setting up the groundwork for the fuckery Reagan did with Iran-Contra.
Carter also jumpstarted neoliberalism rot monetization and the drive to privatize. Willingly laid the foundation for Reagan.
Prepare for the 14year Olds on hexbear to come in and pretend that China has a great government
You know, that actually makes sense. 14-year-olds. It would explain a lot about hexbears.
Yeah, the Chinese government is totally very democratic and is receptive to the criticism of its citizens! They never censor words and topics they don’t like on their social media platforms!
It also respects women so much and represents them very proportionally
Also they don’t censor any single website internationally
Just got banned from Hexbear for saying something negative about China and the US at the same time. They have no tolerance of any discussion that challenges their preconceptions.
Very interesting how all those “pretend socialists” only exist in the third world, and all the “real socialists” existin the west. Yet all the successful revolutions have been done in the third world by “pretend socialists”, and the so called “real socialists” in the west have accomplished nothing. Their biggest success of the “real socialists” in the west being capitalist welfare states or social democracies that rely on old school imperial relationships to fund their welfare in a select few areas.
No Eurocentrism present to this line of thought here at all…
What do you think of Nelson Mandela OP? He was a very good leader, right? You know that he considered Cuba an ally and supported their revolution as Cuba sent troops to fight against the apartheid government in the border wars, took inspiration from Mao and called the Chinese revolution a miracle, thanked the Soviets for giving unending support in the fight against apartheid while receiving the a Lenin Peace Prize? So is Nelson Mandela now a fascist according to your meme?
OP determining whether to believe the US about socialist movements
Also look up double genocide theory and stop trivializing the holocaust by calling communists fascists.
OP is not calling communists fascists. OP is calling the dictators pretending to be communist, fascists!
The initial meme included basically all communist countries, they mean communists.
Also which communist countries had dictators again?
The initial meme included basically all communist countries
This meme is against the initial meme.

China, North Korea
This meme is against the initial meme.
The initial meme made fun of being against those countries as a socialist. This meme is against that idea. Ergo…
China, North Korea
When?
When?
Always has been. Government taking control of every action of citizens is dictatorship. Theese people have total power of the country
…Ergo…
What??

The DPRK and China both don’t have parties that are in any way capable of controlling every action of their citizenry. They both have massive grassroots democratic institutions. Hell, look up whole process peoples democracy and the taean work system.

no way you’re trying to pretend like dprk is a free country…
go ask some refugees what it’s like
Sorry, who were the communists during the holocaust?
Do you mean the german ones thrown in the camps or the soviet leadership who were the last of the eventual allied powers to do any sort of appeasement with Hitler (after exhausting all attempts to form an alliance with Britain and France) because communism is less aligned with fascist goals than liberalism is aligned with fascist goals, massive underexageration mine? Do you mean the communist low level officials who helped in a massive ethnic relocation program to move vulnerable minorities out of the way of the eventual german invasion? Or do you mean the population of the only communist nation which lost 26 million people, around 1/6th of their population, stopping the holocaust?
Or were you referring to the joke about racism? If so, you gotta look up how the population of the USSR was not considered white at the time. Emma Goldman for example basically called Stalin a slanty eyed conniving Asian, for example. Nowadays slavs are still called orcs and shit by westerners.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_…
First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
Cuba is a beacon of progress and humanity in the Americas. Fidel Castro was a hero. Also a pro at dodging the CIA’s kill squads.
I agree. Fascist countries like Denmark, Germany and Canada often get called “socialist” and they have been disastrous for the reputation of socialism.
You are certainly American but that’s especially stupid, is it a troll?
try asking a real question and you might learn something
Or pour hot mountian dew down your computer so we don’t have to see your posts anymore
But why hot though? What if it’s just room temperature?

Stop thinking your identity is an excuse to deny genocide and grow up

Of course /s. Germany, with Fuhrer Schultz, Denmark with Grand Admiral Frederiksen (I had to look it up lmao), and Canada with Supreme Commander Trudeau. All of them are actively involved in passing legislation against socialists and Muslims. All of them are involved in gathering Muslims into re-education camps. When socialists protested their respective governments for starting to become capitalist, they were run over by tanks. Also, all of these governments prevent their citizens from accessing the internet outside their own countries. Agreed! Very fascist indeed!

Dayum… That’s shameful for Denmark. As for the German far right, polls tell many different stories. The German government is still very democratic. What about Canada? You also accused them of fascism.
To be fair, I would agree that the German government is the most decent in Western Europe. But the far right and anti-refugee sentiment in Germany has risen dramatically, and it wasn’t that great to begin with.
But just to add a few more examples, you have places like Italy, Spain (the current government is still a direct descendant of Franco’s fascist monarchy) and France (see latest laws against Muslims and Arabs, and just the rising hatred in general).
The point is, Western Europe is always painted as this morally superior place, when it is very much not. People are quick to shit talk third world countries as if we’re the only ones dealing with fascistic governments. At least we acknowledge it. So many Europeans do not.

if this comment is anything to go by that’s just a massive W for them
Nothing more ‘socialist’ than supporting the current world order but with some welfare
You have a lifetime of anti communist propaganda to overcome. You’re close, take the last step and realize you’ve been lied to about AES countries. No place is a utopia, but those countries are lights in the dark.
most of us, myself included grew up believing the same things you do about China and the DPRK and every other socialist state. Because thats what we are all told living in the West under capitslist liberal regimes. We already know all this propganda you’re repeating to us. We learned to see past it and seek out actual information about these places to understand for ourselves.
Internationalism is the most important aspect of socialism. If you choose to believe nationalist western propganda over people you should be in solidarity with, you will only help your oppressors
Well said camarada.
thanks
What is an AES country?
“Actually Existing Socialism”
Keep drinking the flavor aide.
If they’re so nice, why not live there?
That’s a fair question. There’s a reason why authoritarian nations don’t have immigration issues, unlike virtually all of the west.
People aren’t stupid; they can pretty easily see through nationalist bullshit and figure out which, if they have to leave their own country, are going to be the best countries to land in.
Guess what? Nobody wants to immigrate to Russia or China or Cuba or Venezuela. Full stop.
You guys are such trolls it’s like hearing a fish praise the fishing pole.
I am nobody 💔
Statistically yes, one person doesn’t count, so in that sense you are in fact nobody.
Believe it or not, i’m not the only expat. So statistically there’s more than one nobody.

That’s what North Koreans see at night when they look across the border towards South Korea.
The US prevented a democratic unified korea and killed 20 percent of all Koreans. MacArthur had to have his nuclear command secreted away to prevent him nuking Korea.
Read about it or if youre not into reading listen to the blowback season.
The US bombed and firebombed until there were “no more targets in Korea.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_North_Korea Examine the primary sources if you like, they’re decent. It was comparable to genocide.
And now we point and laugh at the DPRK for being less developed than the US-backed South?

Sanctions are hilarious! Bet the leveling of the country during the Korean war was a real laight too.
The pure (libertarian) socialists’ ideological anticipations remain untainted by existing practice. They do not explain how the manifold functions of a revolutionary society would be organized, how external attack and internal sabotage would be thwarted, how bureaucracy would be avoided, scarce resources allocated, policy differences settled, priorities set, and production and distribution conducted. Instead, they offer vague statements about how the workers themselves will directly own and control the means of production and will arrive at their own solutions through creative struggle. No surprise then that the pure socialists support every revolution except the ones that succeed.
Go back to your Fox News with this conservatives bullshit
You’re the one that tells everyone you don’t agree with to go watch Fox News. Just in case you didn’t know, that is not a compelling argument at all.
If they just want to hear they are right and the conservatives are correct then I think they ought to go engage with those nuts on that “news”. You lot obviously have fallen for that bullshit so may as well continue to waste your life watching it since it’s obviously true to you. You are just some conservative roll who can fuck right off
What you’re saying basically is
If I lean more left than someone, they must be one of those MAGA conservative Fox news fanatic.
You might as well go make an account on hexbear.net.
Their account is on Lemmygrad, genius.
I literally said that they might as well leave lemmygrad.ml and make a new account on Hexbear.
Russia and China are Marx’s dream realized.
Saying Marx’s dream at all shows a complete and utter lack of understanding on your end
Right, cause commies don’t dream of a better future. They seize the means of production, put you to work, and then creatively fuck with you and forcibly shut your whiny ass up if you try to say something stupid.
Kindly go fuck yourself. Go back to your Fox News with that bullshit
How is this acceptable discourse? Do you even see yourself? Why are you even here?
If people werent Ukraine defending Nazis then there might not be an issue. If you can’t handle someone having a different opinion then get off the internet
That’s not what I said though, is it? I’m talking about you, your anger, and the fact that whatever your position may be, lashing out at people with such vitriol is counterproductive and shows you to be completely un-self-aware.
As they say, go touch grass. You are completely off your rocker.
Shut up or I’ll put you in prison.
Conservative cry baby can go get fucked
I’m not even conservative.
I’m pro-tax, pro-welfare, pro-lgbt rights and protections, anti-theistic, pro-environment.
I’m liberal, as in I fundamentally think actual freedom is important.
Unlike tankies, who think surveillance and persecution of teenagers saying “free hong kong” is fair and good.
Oh shit it’s the person from the original meme

It’s funny that somebody who has made his account on here entirely to spread anti-communist propaganda calls other people a fascist. You’re equating the people who built Auschwitz with those who liberated it, you’re effectively a holocaust denier and a nazi. Eat shit and die, you fascist pig with your transparent wrecking attempts.
a lot of people in this thread should be thrown into volcanos to please the economy
What makes them a fascist, genuine question? I looked through their profile but couldn’t find anything that would make me think they’re fascist, just edgy Leftist humor. Do you say that simply just because they’re on hexbear?
And what do you politically identify as? I could find even less about you to understand any of your politics.
I haven’t seen any fascists, as far as I’m aware, on hexbear but I hate fascism so I’d be willing to agree with you if you can explain.
strike two
Slow down there buddy
NCDer
What does this mean I’ve never heard of it
When you give everyone in your nation a house, food, and healthcare while protecting yourself from the West that’s actually fascism.
Repeating CIA approved talking points to own the Tankies
