Taking away people’s businesses is a good thing actually, and free speech doesn’t exist in capitalist cultures either, anything threatening the regime will be dealt with. Capitalism just has a wider range of things you can say that aren’t threatening because it has a more stable hegemony for now due to its historical position.
The mechaviks literally wanted to continue ww1 and have a psuedo democracy where the bourgeoisie were literally guaranteed a majority of seats, wtf are you talking about?
The Cuban people literally joke that the government should be less democratic because of how much they consult the people, I dont think it is an authoritarian dictatorship and it is under immense pressure as it is 70 miles away from the imperial core and has been effectively blockaded for 60 years or so.
Mfw the liberals who acknowledge that the Republicans are fascists want only the fascists to have guns (if you think gun control will be enforced by fascist cops to disarm their fascist buddies you’ve got another thing coming)
Mfw liberals don’t acknowledge that mass shootings are caused by white supremacy, misogyny, and abuse culture in addition to guns because they don’t want to or are incapable of addressing white supremacy, misogyny, and abuse culture, but they are capable of pushing gun control (that doesn’t prevent mass shootings (see my first point) but does further criminalize poc, poor people, queer people, and women owning guns)
Mfw liberals have never heard of the mulford act and understood its political implications
Mfw liberals haven’t read any anti-colonial history or civil rights history, even basic stuff like “this nonviolent stuff will get you killed” which shows how an armed movement has been necessary for both violent and nonviolent liberatory movements
The best cure to liberalism is picking up a book on the history of liberation movements that isnt full of whitewashed US history class bullshit.
Soviet socialism failed miserably (it turns out, it is very hard to plan an economy).
Did you actually check? Because based on a bunch of metrics I saw the USSR did pretty well compared to the feudalism that came before it and the capitalist “democracy” that came after its illegal and undemocratic dissolution.
