theuberwalrus , 9 months ago Your comment is fair, but please allow me to deflect for a moment with a few questions: The nazis called themselves national socialists, do you believe they were socialists? The north korean government has called their country a democratic republic, do you believe that? I’m guessing you answered no to both. If that’s the case, why do you believe the ussr and the ccp when they say they were/are practicing communism? Additionally, who benefits more than capital if you believe socialism and communism equal authoritarianism?
