    Your hostility belies your intentions. Just accept that you are a liberal. And that’s okay. Own it. But stop pretending to be an actual leftist while spewing liberal propaganda.

      I haven’t even said any propaganda. All of my comments are just telling you to fuck off: I’m being hostile because you’ve been disingenuous from your first comment and I don’t engage with tankies. Anyway, go back to bed. Ideally forever.

        I’m not disingenuous. I asked a question you never answered. I don’t even consider myself a Marxist Leninist. You throw out words like they don’t have meaning.

          You asked a completely irrelevant question to deflect to a different subject, presumably because you thought I was American. Unfortunately I’ve slayed a lot of tankies and I know your tricks. I’m not falling for your misdirection.

            I am American, you are not. That’s irrelevant. Still not a tankie, and you still haven’t answered the question which actually implies the answer by deduction. I’m not trying to trick you. I don’t even care if you’re a liberal. I’m surrounded by them. They aren’t bad people, just undereducated.

            Edit: How many tankies have you slayed in 3 days?

              About to be one more. (In case it was unclear, this is a metaphor and an alt.)

                You slayed me so hard, metaphorically. Now answer the question:

                Would you rather live under the rule of socialist China, or capitalist America?

                If you don’t want to answer it, that’s fine. But maybe think about what that means.

                  I don’t live under and don’t want to live under either, because I am a radical anarchist and don’t believe in states or borders. So, I did kind of answer your dumb, misdirecting, whataboutist false dichotomy with my first reply. Hope you are happy with the answer. It’s bedtime now.

                    Was that difficult? I understand, that would be my view too. But as an anarchist, if it was a binary choice, and it might be, I would reluctantly choose to live under socialist Chinese rule. They are not perfect. But they at least have nationalized healthcare and house their homeless. That’s how I know I am a leftist. But labels don’t really matter when lives are concerned.
