    I wish hexbear was like this, instead they fellate capitalist imperialist autocrats like Putin because it feels cooler to be a contrarian than class conscious to them.

      Yeah, it’s so weird that they’re sooooo in love with Russia and China. They claim to be communist and/or socialist, but those countries aren’t what I’d consider to be either of those things. They’re just… regular ol’ dictatorships full of human rights abuses. Why the hell would they want to support them?

      But but but billionaire nationalist dictator from country opposing “west” = opposing capitalism = supporting (my flavor of) communism good???

      Seriously, how do you even arrive at such conclusions? What would Russia et al need to do to be perceived as worse than “the west”?

      Yeah, that drove me absolutely up the wall. Russia’s economy was liberalized after the fall of the Soviet Union, and China even invited Milton Goddamn Friedman to consult on their economic plans.
