That's certainly enough to form a hypothesis, but far, far from proof against it. There aren't any "good" developing countries either.

So same as Capitalism, but without the democracy. Sounds like Communism is better.
To liberals, unironically yes, lol.
I think a lot of Marxists take sympathy with Lenin, and Lenin's vision, they don't necessarily like what the USSR became under Stalin. The principles of Soviet Democracy, for example, are appealing to many Lefitsts. "All power to the Soviets!"
That being said, ultimately the USSR serves as a great example of why Vanguardism can be good in overthrowing a bad system, but must be held far more accountable, or even dissolve after revolution. I know many MLs would probably shit on me for saying that, citing the CIA paper saying Stalin wasn't a dictator, but I still think ultimately the form of government under Stalin and those who came after him is very dependent on who is in power. A more decentralized system would have checks against such issues.
My 2 cents as a leftist that isn't an ML, but has spent time reading about the various leftist tendencies.
I'll conclude it by saying I would have loved it if Lenin continued to live and stay in power, I wonder what the USSR would have looked like, maybe even today.
Did the tents come from famous US communists?
Yea, so you don't actually understand Marx, and I'm correct. Glad you could prove me right!
It's a for-profit, Capitalist business that runs it, ergo its Capitalist. The user base is largely liberal, which is still pro-Capitalism. You tend to see more Anarchists and Communists on Lemmy by proportion.
What would a human who has hopes, dreams, and aspirations do to rock the boat in Communism? Why do you think Communism is based on requiring everyone not have hopes, dreams, and aspirations?
You don't actually know, your feelings are just hurt and so you lash out.
You don't actually have any points, though. Your whole thing is that "good thing bad because it hurts my feelings," lmao.
Lmao, none of what you just said actually meant anything, beyond you hating humanity and deepthroating Capitalist boot.
This is obviously a leftist meme making fun of liberal and conservative fighting. It's from the perspective of someone to the left of liberals, not between liberals and conservatives.
