    Pro-Russia propaganda then. Funny how America’s right has embraced the west’s greatest enemy. When I was a kid I was told the reason communism was bad was because it was tyrannical to those living under it, Russia is still tyrannical but capitalist and now they’re totally on board. In hindsight, it was never about the tyranny. It was about profit.

      It’s always about tyranny. Tyranny of the rich capitalists.

      Communism has the potential to sidestep the ruling class and give power to the people.

      They will do everything they can to prevent their power hegemony from being threatened at all costs.

        A theoretical potential that has unfortunately never panned out. Similar to the glorification of capitalism by some people should stop pointing to a theoretical communist Utopia that will never be, it’s the same lunacy.
