    Yeah you nailed it. China and the USSR have done soooo much for working people around the world, but because they have states, they are somehow more evil than the capitalist states to these people. They hate MLs more than billionaires it seems.

      MLs are cool as long as it is “their” billionaires. See China pumping out more billionaires than the US and Russian oligarchy. These billionaires good, US bad.

      I personally hate all billionaires so I can’t see eye to eye with them.

          Because they have told me so on many occasions.

          I once had a lot of respect for leftists, that was before I got to know ML.

          Now I rarely run into a leftist I can agree with. The majority here are campists who live in an alternative reality of Russian/China disinformation.

                Or just an accurate understanding of what Marxism is. Saying that a Marxist can approve of billionaires is like saying a MAGA can loathe Trump. Like sure, maybe one or two people exist who identify that way, but it’s fundamentally the opposite of the ideology. I think it’s far more likely that you’ve just made up a straw man, if we’re throwing around logical fallacies.

                  We were talking about ML not your true scotsman.

                  I find it funny you have to argue with my personal experience with ML and even funnier to say it is a strawman. Cheers!
