        Ok good. But realistically, there's sweet fuck-all you can do to help the oppressed peoples of any "communist" state. And since liberals are brainwormed fuckwits who understand neither nuance nor critical support, any criticism of those governments is interpreted as tacit support of intervention, whether or not you actually called for it. Imagine you were filmed explaining your opinion on, say, Cuba for the local news, and you criticized both the embargo and the government, and they snip out the footage of you decrying the embargo, but keep the rest. You have, for all intents and purposes, given a reason to the powers that be to destroy the state, regardless of your intention. The reactionary brain only thinks in "western style liberalism good, everything else evil" binary. The notion that an embargo could be evil and damaging does not even once cross their mind. The notion that there are other forms of democracy beyond those of the exact electoral system of the US similarly does not cross their mind. That unless literal fascists can also run for elections then it's a brutal dictatorship.

        You aren't those people, and I know you're not (although you did admit to voting in bourgeois elections, kinda cringe but w/e). But just like those tweets of the shitlib at the anti-Cuba rally For The Right Reasons™ being shocked there were so many MAGA chuds rubbing shoulders with her, you don't want to be that person.
