    Are the Russians forcing American cops to kill over 1000 people a year? Did the Russians spike the cost of insulin to $250 a vial? Are the Russians stopping America from passing minimum wage increases, universal healthcare, gun reform, abortion rights, trans rights, removing money from politics? Dumb fuck.

      And at this point we can acknowledge that USA isnt an ideology. You can have capitalism without cop-violence, and its way better than socialism that inherently comes with violence towards the common folk.

      Of course, you cant have eg a nordic welfare state without rus*ians telling you how evil it actually is, but only dumb fucks suck that up anyway.

        No, you really can’t. Capital cannot exist without someone to protect it from the working class.

        and its way better than socialism that inherently comes with violence towards the common folk.

        You have no fucking clue what you’re blathering about. Just shut the fuck up already.

            Cuba has a significantly lower crime rate than the US across the board. Once again, you have no clue what you’re talking about.

            Go lick boots somewhere else.

              I’m not disagreeing with your overall point but comparing Cuba to the US is absurd dude. They’re on an island smaller than the state of Ohio in both total population and in square mileage.

                My point is it’s a direct counterexample for their “communist countries are inherently violent” nonsense. And crime rates are measured per capita so they already account for differences in size/population.
