      I know what the word “era” means, I’m a Statesian communist, not Russian. I cite historical books on the systems of democracy in socialist countries. You didn’t counter any of what I said, you just said “no.”

        Dbzer0 doesn’t claim to be “freeze peach.” The political compass isn’t real, and even if it was, there’s no way in hell Cuba and the DPRK could be considered right-wing. You never discussed anything either, you just repeated dogmatic tropes with no investigation nor consideration for the sources and arguments I brought.

        You’re also complaining about “freeze peach” while on Lemmy.world, which is defederated from communist instances and thus not “freeze peach” either, and you only had comment(s) removed, not even a temp-ban, and this was because of your vaguely racist comment.

          Calling out the people sending you cheques isn’t racist. I’m calling out your lack of intermediate English skills.

            Nobody is sending me any cheques, I pay org dues. I understand what “era” means, I asked clarification because the sources I listed covered socialist history in general, which is democratic. The fact that you call my English skills “intermediate” and accuse me of being Russian is the racist bit, you immediately assuming anyone that disagrees with you and can back it up with primary sources must be Russian.

              Bummer, I was thinking about asking you if there were any job openings. I had already found my work name and all: 柯蒂斯·詹姆斯·杰克逊.

                I’m sick of you fifth column, tankie arseholes. Stop pretending authoritarian one party states are real democracies.

                Then why don’t you go back to Reddit?

                Real democracies in the west transformed their respective countries through diplomatic and consensual ways, and achieved far more through multi party elections than violent insurrections did.

                Those aren’t real democracies, though. They’re bourgeois democracies; they’re oligarchies. They’re the best governments money can buy. Previously.

                  Yeah, Nelson mandela got more of what he wanted as a terrorist than as President, same for Pepe Mujica. When he was robbing banks and getting thrown in jail, he did more for Uruguay than when he was president.

                  When Clement Atlee established a modern welfare state in Britain , with social housing and the NHS, it was a fucking sellout to the banks that he did.

                  What they all should have done was establish a one party, hereditary state like North Korea, or held onto power with an iron fist like Fidel.
