    Some of these guys actually dream about moving to china. Like wtf are they trolling or just uneducated?

    As long as “socialism-light” is bundled with State- Authoritarianism, still catering to capitalism and frequently using fascist rhetoric taking those countries seriously feels like a joke. Just because they have communist symbols on their flag doesn’t mean there actually trying to create a fairer world.

      I’m sure most of them have never been to China.

      I spent two weeks there and that was enough; I would never choose to live there. It’s a fairly safe place as a tourist or on a business trip, but there were dozens of red flags in that time as well.

      Ironically, though, none of the red flags there had to do with Communism. More about censorship and unnecessary overt shows of military force around every corner. I saw more large arms there than driving through rural America, that’s for sure.

        Because China has to do with communism as much as democratic people republic of Korea has to do with democracy.

    I’m right where I need to be.

    That is some obscure Tankic dialect. Let me attempt a translation to common English.

    I get to rage against the slowly changing society in my echo chamber without facing any repercussions, and without having to live in the authoritarian hellscape I so desperately advocate for but never experienced.
