Honestly I feel like most people on here are just tired of the ultra-capitalistic hell neoliberalism threw us into and want a better system that doesn’t rape dry the Earth and doesn’t allow companies to have the same wealth as entire states. Those people you mention are just a very loud, screaming minority.
I’m part of these people, I think most of them are social democrat and don’t have any illusion about supposedly socialist countries.
Yes, they are a minority since .world became the biggest player, but they are still very visible if you mention those subjects and countries, they are going to pop up.
Truth. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see a society where nobody lords over anybody, but I’m not crazy enough to think I can achieve that by burning everything down or putting a dictator in charge.
On the contrary, I consider a classless society to be the social Holy Grail that’s probably only achievable with Star Trek-tier technology. I’m sure it’ll happen eventually, but not today, and that’s okay.
No, he’s not. He’s talking about supposedly-socialist people in the USA who idealize vaguely socialism related countries like Russia or China, and think they would have a better life in these countries.
vaguely socialism related countries like Russia or China
The Russian Federation isn’t socialist in any way. China has a Socialist Market Economy, that’s true, but nobody idolizes Russia nor do they believe they would live a better life there.
Please don’t forget that the vast majority of non-US people lead significantly sadder lives.
The two most populous countries in the world are China and India, in that order, and I haven’t heard many good things about the standard of living in either of them.
There’s also the part that is into crushing with a tank people who don’t hate the USA more than anything in the universe.

Where would you rather live?

Ah… so let me get this straight. So instead of being poor in a capitalist country, you’d rather be poor in a communist country?
Edit: JFC dude. Why are there so many of these types on Lemmy

Save your mental health, just block them once they are clearly identified, it’s not worth the effort at all.
But there’s so many of them lol. It’s exhausting. I don’t know what’s worse, the far left or the far right. They’re both incredibly annoying

About 50, it seems to stabilize from there.
Oh the good 'ol whataboutism creeping in.
All he’s saying is “America bad” and then saying he wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. You should look up what whataboutism is
Really? Are you really genuinely ignorant or you simply can’t fathom that non-US people not only exist but also lead happier lives?

That’s not socialists though. We call them tankies as an umbrella term.
I agree, but I believe they don’t like being called like that and they think they are defending socialism.

That’s great but doesn’t answer the question
Most of the world’s commies actually live in China, strangely enough.
Not the ones on Lemmy lol
