    Well, when your entire existence is focused on bringing down the big bad USA, of course you’d support Trump, Putin, and Ci. They’re just delusional thinking that the US would be better modeled after those two terrible countries.

    Russia the failed state and China the most xenophobic “economic power” in the world.

        It's true, until i left the country i had no idea that you could go somewhere and feel a sense of "a stranger will give a shit if I lay bleeding on the street."

          in the imo incredible graphic novel Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, the author and protagonist makes note of how, in Iran, if you were sleeping on a park bench someone would come to you and offer you respite. In Austria -- where she fled to during the Islamic Revolution -- she was homeless for weeks and would sleep on park benches. Nobody stopped to check on her.

            well at least the US isn't like that. in the US it's not acceptable to people when others have to sleep on benches and if someone does have no choice but to sleep on a bench they wouldn't be ignored.

            because the benches are modified so she'd have to sleep in the gutter and rather than be ignored she would get a healthy dose of ridicule and hate from regular people around her before being beaten by the same cops that poured bleach in the dumpster to poison any throw away food she might have found there. progress.

      of course you’d support Trump

      Literally none of us do. This is a completely baseless and delusional accusation.

      They’re just delusional thinking that the US would be better modeled after those two terrible countries.

      And this shows further that you have zero understanding of our positions. None of us want the US to be modelled after Russia's system. Russia has an exploitative, capitalist system that was imposed on it by the US. It makes zero sense whatsoever to think that we'd want to model the US after it.

      You're just talking nonsense and jumping to conclusions because you're totally unwilling to make any effort to understand where we're coming from.

        Dont give them too much, funnily even the Russian system post 91 isnt half as corrupt and destructive to its own people as the American system is.

          Regardless, it's still a capitalist system and not an ideal to persue.

          There's no one set of policies that define Marxism anyway. Being critically supportive of a government abroad doesn't mean you want to institute all of its policies at home, and that's my main point.

            That's fair, I just see lemmygrad has a lot of libs at the moment and i dont want to cede any ground lest they try to pull it towards the Western "leftist" standard of "sure america bad but russia worse," Russia today is not my ideal but it is better than America by no small margin

              That's also fair, it's difficult to have an intelligent conversation when the libs are waiting to twist anything we say around in the worst possible light. That is, when they're not just fully pulling shit out of their asses like "supporting Trump"

        Xenophobia is:

        When you haven't been in a war in 50 years and actively build infrastructure with other countries as a part of mutual trade deals.

        Xenophobia is not:

        When you have a history of starting wars and destabilising other nations, and inflict horrific cruelties on your minority population.
