You guys are all missing the point of what’s being said. No one is praising the US. The US, as stated, is a violent, colonizing superpower. But…so is china. What is it with communists that you guys can’t accept that your preferred states are still brutal governments? Western communists never move past the “well, I have to escape the WESTERN propaganda machine!” thinking. You just start swallowing the opposing brutal state’s propaganda output.
It’s never just “the US is evil.” Which would be completely acceptable. It’s always, “the US is evil, china is the model!” What. It’s indicative of the state of online political education for our generation(s). Contrarianism is the name of the game. “Well, I’m not on this side, so I HAVE to be on that side.” No, you can call out brutal states, even if they call their party communist. But you all do love the state. As long as it isn’t that state.

What is it with liberals and not accepting that there are people who don't believe what the biggest liar in the world says about governments they don't like?
Lmfao I wish Western communists would actually do this, but even if they did like you claim...imagine thinking this is a bad thing
Everything else you said is just whiny lib bullshit.
How can you be aware of the slant that western media has against communism... but believe in everything they say about communist countries anyway? Do you even know what communism is?
