    Because while both are shit, under capitalism I can at least say it’s shit without fear of incarceration or reeducation.

      Russia is also capitalist, and I think you meant to say “democracy” instead of “capitalism” there since authoritarian capitalism is definitely a thing (see Russia and China).

      What has capitalism got to do with freedom of speech?

        What does Stalin have to do with freedom of speech, because tankies support authocrats and dictators worldwide, but especially are fans of Stalin.

        You know the answer to this question. The person you are replying to mentions the system of government of countries doing capitalism. No need to be so pedantic.

          I think the pedantry is warranted. A lot of people like to conflate capitalism and democracy.

            Alot of people also confuse freedom with capitalism and democracy. The propaganda runs deep
