Good thing pretty much every western country is supporting Ukraine’s defensive war effort.
How is that going?

Hitler was elected by a democracy in case you forgot.
Didn't he lose but end up being appointed? Lol
Are we just going to ignore the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, wherein Stalin let Hitler invade Poland as long as he got half of Poland, Lithuania, and Estonia?
Only after France and England refused a defensive pact against the Nazis, and had already given the Nazis a bunch of territory and industry needed.
Also, would you have preferred that the nazis got all of Poland, Estonia, and Lithuania in the initial invasion? Because that would have led to a lot more deaths in those occupied territories, and might have resulted in the nazis beating the soviet union in 1942, which would have basically meant that the Nazis would have won ww2.
They had that model forced upon them, and fought for change and economic freedom.
East germans, especially women and lgbt people, lost a lot of practical rights during reunification
That isnt what dictatorship of the proletariat means. It means that the former bourgeoisie are temporarily politically disenfranchised from proletarian democracy
Nope. I’m saying that the original claim - that the US is the most authoritarian government in the world - is incredibly ridiculous.
Highest prison population by capita and total, segregated, with 1000s of police killings a year.
Props up most of the worlds dictatorships
I don’t have an in depth history of every law of every country. That said, I did some searching and I found no real connections besides the underlying law being passed at the same time Nixon started the War on Drugs. But even if the US’s War on Drugs inspired Singapore’s laws, to blame that on the US denies agency to the government and people of Singapore.
I said crack open a history book, not aimlessly speculate
Sorry. You're right. Allow me to clarify. "Who used the term in political economics"
Okay, cool, youre defending the violence of the current regime. Gotcha.
Also the US is literally why singapore is like that, crack open a history book.
It literally does, according to the person who coined the term and socialist political economic theory up to the present.
Have you read any marx? Any marx whatsoever?
I'm not going to debunk all of that. It is much easier to say bullshit than fact check it.
When did the USSR legalize abortion the first and second time? When did the US legalize abortion? You don't actually have to answer this, it is a rhetorical question, but you should know the answer
Also, read "why women had better sex under socialism."
In east Germany lgbt people lost a lot when the wall came down. In general socialist countries are better on practical lgbt rights than capitalist ones. Especially when you include the neocolonialist capitalist subjects where being lgbt is explicitly a serious crime. Cuba has the best lgbt rights in the world.
Also, communists spearheaded lgbt rights movements in capitalist countries. Taking credit for their work and recuperating it into capitalism is intellectually dishonest.
