Yes, people who unironically support Leninism, Stalinism and Maoism are supporters of autocratic, and in many cases tyrannical politics. These are first principles for the vast majority of people who study politics, all over the world. It only feels strange because places like hexbear and lemmygrad have this extremely weird liturgy, where vaguely expressing any form of the idea that some forms of autocracy can be more evil than some forms of capitalism is the worst sin.
Really, the only thing which is confusing to me is why anyone who espouses egalitarian and queer friendly principles would associate with people who actively promote a global alliance of countries who would exterminate them. I don't condone association with campists for the same reason I don't condone association with Republicans.
where i live a family of people born among the poorest 10% would take an average of nine generations to reach the middle class. nine. even ignoring the generational part, that's about 20 million people condemned, by birth, to a life of deep poverty, lacking even the most basic goods such as food and housing. and we're officially considered a "middle income" country.
all, and i mean all AES states solved this problem either completely or nearly so by giving people decent jobs, education, health care and housing
so yea it's impossible for me to not find you people absolutely ridiculous when you talk shit about said states just because they "arrested too many citizens" or didn't allow enough fucking free speech. you can rip my fucking tongue off if it means i don't have to see my people getting fucked on a daily basis
Imagine believing that there is no poverty in China or Russia.
the largest poverty alleviation campaign in modern history is too small for you to consider good?
we're talking about AES, not capitalist states.
