A lot of the tankies I see defending the USSR/communist nations basically say that the US was just as bad which like... idk why that would inspire you to hashtag try socialism. "Have a violent revolution so your society can suck in a different way!" is not good marketing
But whatever don't listen to me about socialism and communism bc I haven't actually studied and so am quite ignorant.

I will also add that this comes from a very Western POV, bc as bad as it is, capitalist liberal democracy did represent a historical step forward for white-majority nations, just as I hope socialism will represent for us all.

But for non-Western nations, many of which had more equitable governance structures prior to western contact/colonialism (I believe), capitalist liberal democracy may have been a step backwards.

But again, not a scholar of history not socialism nor anything else except poetry, plays, and pop music so I am talking out of my ass bc this is Twitter where you do that!!
