Too much tankie bullshit probably

how nice for you and "the cause." you can stop replying to me now.
well, you didn't here.
they would be able to engage me, the human in front of them, without all the baggage of the movement establishing preconceptions.
ok buddy. good luck with that.
that's good. don't lie, have standards.
i wouldn't say it's for "optics," but you have to know your interlocutor. if the person is nervous about legitimate abuses in AES, acknowledging failures openly is more honest and real than dancing about to make excuses for them. owning failings is human, and would be a distinct departure from capitalism, that's for sure.
but i get you, capitalism as a system is unironically constantly using force to extinguish you. i get it. it's not an enviable position.
"You uncritically accept the bourgeois narrative"
you don't know anything about me to make such claims.
citizenry can feel nostalgia for lots of reasons, and i'm not defending capitalism here. but that doesn't erase the real lived trauma of the ppl in my life who have fled both the USSR and Venezuela.
You are so high on yourself
