    As a point of unhelpful pedantry: I feel the need to point out that social democracy, while far preferable to liberal democracy, doesn’t actually qualify as socialism since it doesn’t guarantee workers control over the means of production.

    But also, that’s far less important than recognizing that Stalinism is fundamentally awful so you’re doing far better than anyone on Hexbear.

    Edit: to Hexbear people, don’t reply. I don’t care about your opinion about anything. If anyone posts a Tankie meme at me I’m reporting you for harassment.

      Does the average Chinese or Russian worker control the means of production, or do they not?

          It was a rhetorical question, of course they don’t.

          Hexbear’s preference for China and Russia have nothing to do with communism and everything to do with their alignment with and love for their dictators.
