So I know this one kid who recently told me he prefer socialism over capitalism. He seems to have a positive view of the Soviet Union and China and even Stalin. He wants the USSR back. He believes fascism and anarchism are cancer and stupid.
Overall, a lot of based views.
However, he believes that North Korea (and Venezuela) is/are like a fascist regime, and has even stated he would support the United States moving into North Korea. He has repeated Western propaganda about the country even though he seems to reject propaganda about the USSR and China.
Basically, he's a proto-tankie that still needs time to learn.
Does he know that the Korean War is still technically ongoing? The stuff that gets published in the west, especially the USA, is quite literally war propaganda.
Man, I remember being a high school kid, thinking the grass is greener. All the other idiots don't get it but I do. Democracy doesn't work, better to have a benevolent dictatorship.
Of course I grew out of it. No such thing as a benevolent dictator. Yeah democracy is shit and capitalism is evil. But so is "communist" dictatorship.
Mao and Stalin, Xi and Putin. If they're communists I'm a fairy princess. They just use "the people" as an excuse for their shitty power games, just like the Western leaders.
