    Why would anyone want Mao to wake up? The fuck kind of genocide denialism is this?

      Inventing genocides to discredit Mao must be a new one. Liberals are too stupid to level any valid criticism against him huh?

          The dumbass lib comment is what can’t be real. Too stupid to level valid criticisms like the great leap or subjective excesses in revolutionary violence and instead just making up a genocide to criticise someone? Pure ignorance.

            Have you ever lived under a communist regime? I have, it sucked, it doesn’t mean I automatically become a capitalist right wing supporter, just cause I reject communism. Has communism ever worked without devolving into oligarchy? Ever? Im more of an anarchist, I believe communism doesn’t work because it relies on the hope that the people running the government will give the little people and equal share as them, and humans just aren’t that good. We suck. The communism I experienced came with a lot of oppression and poverty, maybe you mean socialism? Cause that’s different

            Just because I think communism doesn’t work, doesn’t mean that I immediately agree with capitalism. I miss the days when a leftists could argue and debate with another leftists without being accused of being right wing or called names, just because our views may differ slightly. Be better

              Nothing you just said has anything to do with the argument.

              The fact is that you argued like a liberal using liberal talking points. There’s plenty of things you can criticise any former socialist leader for. But using fake facts and rhetoric from the CIA, the black book of communism, various right wingers, etc. only enables their historic revisionism.

              There’s a stark rhetoric difference between saying the great leap was mishandled terribly and not sound from an ideological base and calling it an intentional genocide if that’s what you were refering to with the genocide crap.

                White American kids telling my indigenous ass how the world should work is exactly what’s been going on for decades, but it’s wild the level Of racism and colonial “papa knows best” attitude I’ve seen from the American left this past year

                  Weaponizing your identity might work in reddit or Twitter but I don’t think it’s gonna get you traction here

          The fact that people with different views to you shocks you suggests you should get out of your ideological bubble more often
