      I never said that. There were many things that socialist governments did very well. I’m literally a socialist. It would be hypocritical of me not to approve of these policies. Now that being said, I don’t feel the need to glorify these same states either. There were MANY things that they did VERY badly. I do not want to replicate these governments. When I say that I want to implement socialist policies, I do not mean that I want to have a great firewall. By this, I do not mean censorship of literally every fkin thing.

      I do not have to idolize former or present socialist governments to be a socialist.

        Nobody said that. But you have to educate yourself. Otherwise you’re just a poser.

        And you haven’t educated yourself. This is what we are doing, all of us, here right now. We’re trying to educate you on socialism.

          I fail to see how you managed to do that. I did not learn anything new about socialism. Sure, I learnt that East Germany decriminalized homosexuality one year before West Germany. I learnt that the original USSR constitution had legalized homosexuality. I also learnt that this positive trend reversed in the years that followed. I also learnt that there are quite a few of my socialist comrades who weirdly glorify authoritarian states in history (I saw a few defending the DPRK).

            That’s your problem. Do you see me coming into your house to pee in the plants and break your plates? Frankly we’ve been very patient with you. And I personally still intend to be. But patience in this case does not mean I also have to be polite.

              Do you see me coming into your house to pee in the plants and break your plates? No? What’re you talking about?

              But patience in this case does not mean I also have to be polite. Okay? Again… what’re you talking about?
