Chomsky whines about the USSR and calls its collapse "a win for the left". Absolutely unbelievable. Of course he has nothing to say about 1993 protests or the fact that the majority of Russians who experienced life in the USSR want it back.

Zizek calls China a "bad model for the left". Of course no actual socialist experiment is ever good enough for the ivory tower intellectual. Even worse, he keeps saying he hopes that China will liberalize its government. So fuck the DotP, lets just give away power to the capitalists, because that is literally what will happen in a liberal democracy, and he knows it.

    lol “people spend too much time doing struggle sessions about China”

    starts struggle session on china

    also there are actual criticisms of china but this is just dumb, socialism is a transition, its not a classless society.

    any country who has a rich upper class (and yes, they have billionaires like the US does) and a poor exploited class, is capitalist

    this dumb argument over vernacular is just stupid. grow up
