It's actually a breath of fresh air to see your comment. It seems way too common in certain communities and instances that "Because US has Its flaws, any opposing regime must be perfect".
I'm not American, and most of my political standpoints boil down to anti-authoritarianism, bordering anarchism. But I'm also a pragmatist who'd take Biden over Mao any day.
Fun fact: I'm on Xi Jinpings payroll. Not directly, but follow the hierarchy far enough upstream, and you end up with him. How's that for pragmatism?
Anyway, I forgot where I was going with this, but it was probably my usual point: I'm fine with communists (to a certain degree). I'm not sure if you consider yourself one, but the fact that you're not a tankie who thinks Stalin did nothing wrong earns you points in my book. I'll pass on the word to Santa, Stoltenberg, Harris, and the other decadent imperial leaders to let them know that you deserve more than coal for Christmas or whatever your preferred winter holiday is.
I would consider myself socialist/communist/anarchist fluid lol. The more faith I have in the goodness of people, the more anarchistic I feel. I'd say it boils down to the same for most. We all want a better world, but disagree on what will actually work to get us there
Personally, I'd be interested in seeing anarcho-syndicalism implemented on a large scale, but there's a lot of societal infrastructure that needs to be in place first.
