The freedom to shout into the void and have none of your concerns addressed.

Not to mention the fact that China has far more open discourse than the US and its media organs / capitalist controlled platforms allow.

They're just throwing phrases out like right-wing think-tanks, and seeing what sticks.

The US killed a million innocent people in Iraq just a few years ago, and is *currently * drone bombing several countries in ME and north africa, and is currently supporting the apartheid state of israel with billions of dollars in military aid.

The PRC has not been in a war since its skirmish with Vietnam in 1979.

The US has a network of > 800 military bases across the globe, and has been involved in regime change in nearly every country.

Which one is authoritarian?

Nelson Mandela was a communist revolutionary, and he even thanked the USSR and Cuba on US television for their material support in their struggle against apartheid.

From the 60s onward, the USSR supported Palestine (and even fought a secret war week-long war against Israel), and the ANC, while the US supported Israel and the white south african ruling minority.

I highly recommend reading Losurdo - western Marxism, you would learn a lot from that.

This is the dumbest thing I've read today. Stalin's USSR defeated the nazi onslaught, destroyed 75% of nazi batallions, while paying the greatest cost in blood to defeat fascism in ww2. The nazis began to be pushed back at stalingrad in 1942, which is why the west realized they needed to open up the western front, because europe would turn red if they didn't.

Obama was also a white supremacist president, that's undeniable. From him calling black people thugs, to dropping a constant flow of bombs on the middle east and north africa, to the water crisis in flint, to letting citibank run the country.
