I get frustrated talking to my other leftist buddies about this because I feel like they should know better, but they’ve chosen to go with what feels like willful ignorance on this issue.
Same problem when discussing China. They will knee-jerk defend any country that claims to be or once was socialist. Could not realise that the modern CCP spits on Marx's legacy and ideas, or that Western-style liberal social democracy is closer to actual socialism than whatever is going on in China
I got banned for calling them simps on this post

They are revelling in the future time when the great Chinese people are set free on the internet by their benevolent masters the CCP to come bully the west's twitterati... The irony of them banning me for picking on them, mental.
