      Alright, I am keeping an open mind.

      Ignoring all the dictator bs, we “support” Putin for very different reasons we support Xi: while Xi is a dedicated socialist who has dramatically improved the living standards of Chinese people, Putin serves only to weaken Western Imperialism, which brings me to my next point.

      You might come here and be confused when we preach stuff like “death to Amerikkka”. After all, how could people that want to fix this chant “death to a country”? This is a common misconception, because what we’re wishing death to are the imperialist world order that keeps the third world poor and is responsible for millions of deaths every year. We do want to liberate the entire world, but first we must destroy the Imperialist chain.

      Lastly, if we only want to serve corrupt few, as Parenti would say, why do we always side with the powerless? Why do we always stand with the oppressed, even those over 1000km away from us, if all we want is power? Wouldn’t the logical step be to stand with the rich capitalists that control everything?

            No term limits and cannot be removed via election. Examples: Stalin, Putin, Xi Jinping, the Kim regime, Fidel Castro.

              Have you actually read anything about these countries or are you just repeating what the US government told you? The constitutions of the USSR, China, Russia, the DPRK and Cuba are all easily searchable.

              Ok, these questions might sound like they have self-evident answers but I want to know where you’re coming from: what are your issues with dictators as defined above? What do they do that you find problematic?

                They’re just gonna keep screaming meaningless terms like “authoritarian” and “dictator” cause they have zero idea what they’re talking about

                  He lost all the arguments he attempted to make. First this one, then arguing against my position that “Israel” doesn’t have the right to exist (let alone to defend itself). All he did was be a pretentious jackass that never had any proper answer to begin with.

                  Yeah, I tried. That was the first drive-by lib I interacted with so I wanted to give them a chance. GIven their other comments, whoever banned them probably saved me a headache

                    i always try to be benevolent, maybe they’re misguided and got potential. However, this person was here to annoy everyone and not to learn why “we are like this”.
