        It pisses me off to no end when talking to chuds who 1) have no idea how much leftists within capitalist states and leftist states were persecuted and attacked during the last century

        Was honestly thinking about this recently when someone on twitter was talking about how people in the US aren’t persecuted for their political opinions. Like even if we ignore the subtle ways people still are, this is only because the powers that be have so thoroughly crushed the left. The history of labour in this country during the 19th and early 20th century was basically just as brutal as the political repression in the USSR or Maoist China.

        We see this in Latin American countries as well, a military junta comes to power and tortured and slaughters anyone left of hitler and only then is “freedom and democracy” restored.

        People are just ignorant or delusion if they think capitalism/liberalism didn’t require just as much blood to entrench itself.
