Title, I'm a leftist but after reading some things on lemmygrad and here it seems I might have been lied to all my life. I have talked with some people from Cuba and Venezuela (expats) that support the west narrative about poverty and mismanagement. I "believe" that Russia is attacking Ukraine for selfish reasons and that China censors access to foreign information using the Great Firewall, please prove me wrong. Furthermore, it ultimately depends who do you want to believe or there are hard facts from reputable sources that are simply a hidden by the mass media?

EDIT: Thanks everyone for your very civil responses. I'll answer as many as I can!

    In terms of ideology and politics that China censors, it’s fascism and other related ideologies and politics that aim to harm the working class people for their own benefit

    They would probably answer with a similar argument but saying that they are capitalist not fascist and that it's communism that does all that, who do you believe? they are saying the same thing but changing the suspect. Does China allow Anarchist ideologies? or that also goes against the working class?

    You should probably read more philosophy and politics if you question that fascism might not be bad and deserves free speech. No coming at you. Just genuine advice

    Hate speech and fascism shouldn't be allowed, you can't be tolerant with the intolerants because they will use that tolerance against you.
