The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has "Democratic" in it's name, but no reasonable person actually consider them democratic. Just because a country claims to be something, doesn't make it true.
If China was Communist or Socialist, they wouldn't have wealthy billionaires. It's just a cover for their authoritarianism.
That's not how communism ends up being, it looks great on paper but once a human element is added it goes it shit and some people will be richer than others. It doesn't make what they have capitalism by any stretch. It's got bits of the free market there but thinking they've got anything like capitalism in the West is a joke.
No, the countries you think are communist just were never actually communist they just claim to be or other people claim they are. There are very few actual communist countries, if there are any at all. To be communist you have to be classless with everyone equal to each other. China is not communist, Russia is not communist, Cuba is not communist.
Systems great on paper that turn out shit when exposed to reality are just that, shit.
Lol ahh yes the tankie excuse of "that's not real communism"...no it's real communism because that's how it always turns out. Stop trying to defend the shit.
“that’s not real communism” is something no "tankie" ever said. It is strawman set up exactly by the people like those the original meme mock, the white westerner pseudoleft idealists.
All the countries mentioned in the original meme were/are socialist and it was/is glorious. Westolefto can eat shit, their succdem and ultra movements didn't achieved even 1/1000 of what ML's did.
By all means please leave and move to these glorious places. I heard russia needs meat for their "glorious" fight against the "Nazi" Ukrainians and the evil west.
Fuckin' tankie shit.
Why aren't you dying for batko bandera right now?
