      Ask yourself this, how do you think your revolution, whatever revolution you think is necessary to install your ideology, is going to go 50 years after it’s successful and you’ve been attacked constantly on all sides and from within by the enemy?

      Turns out we can answer that, you won’t make it 50 years, you won’t make it five if you stick to principles doomed to fail.

      China isn’t a fascist state, they’re not an imperialist state. They’re an unapologetic dictatorship of the proletariat, and the only country still around that has executed billionaires, plural. Are they communist? No, no state can be communist given that statelessness is required. But they have an open democracy where all citizens can participate, a government that explicitly follows the will of the people, and an economy that favors the workers and has pulled more people out of poverty than all other economic systems combined. All without really violating human rights.

      Capitalism will run your defenseless little commune over and salt the earth where it stood just to spite you. Ask me how I know: what did this dogmade country do to my people’s leaders? Again, and again, and again, until the closest thing we have to earnest “civil rights leaders” anymore are sitting in prison under false government slander of being foreign-backed agents?

      You want to talk about “deeply unserious” and don’t even have a meterstick to measure how deep in the water you are, or floaties to keep from sinking-- you clearly can’t swim.
