A weak Russia wouldn't distract the flailing US empire's focus while China continues to overtake the US. China is absolutely interested in a strong Russia.
Socialism can work, Cuba has better life expectancy and more rights for women and lgbtq people than the US. Vietnam, Laos, and China all are moving forward gradually toward complete worker ownership of the means of production. The dprk has survived a 70 year siege from the global hegemon after it destroyed all their infrastructure and killed 20 percent of its civilian population.
I appreciate the support, I dont understand why what I said was controversial here
Police reform has like a century of the same rhetoric without actually fixing the problem. You can read about it in old archives, and sounds hauntingly familiar to what you'd read from a modern reformist who opposes abolition
Plenty of young people are like this too, my point is that transphobia is manufactured by capitalists to divide the proletariat and that's what they're doing right now.
Except I am anarcho-syndicalist and aggressively socially left-wing
If youre still specifying social and economic policy as seperate in this context than you've still got a lot more reading and political development to do as a leftist.
But I will never understand anyone that holds China or Russia in anything approaching high regard.
The soviet union defeated the Nazis, and China is defeating the US primarily through peaceful means Both massively improved quality of life and political rights. If those aren't things to be conditionally admirable about as a leftist than you seem a very strange leftist.
Edit: And, no. My comment didn’t come across as that. You obviously just wanted to read it as such.
Please explain how "reading socialist comments gives me diarrhia" should be taken.
Its not an age thing, it's a class thing
Saying good things and saying bad things are different actually
Pretty sure it was made by a left wing gay man whos existence was considered offensive to conservatives
Good things and bad things are different actually
I know the implication here is that "maoist lemmygrad tankies" are so gross they give you diarrhea but it really comes off as "I get stress diarrhia reading left wing content online" which isn't very flattering.
The USSR famously subsidized and gave autonomy to the non Russian SSRs. Russofication was obviously a problem but much less of a problem than during the monarchy or the post union capitalist state. There is a reason why the non Russian SSRs voted at higher rates than the Russian SSR to stay in the USSR during the referendum before the illegitimate dissolution of the soviet union.

China famously exempted all ethnic minorities from the one child policy.
