All states oppress people, thats the point of a state. The goal of a socialist state is to oppress the bourgeois. While the workers of USSR and China did and do not have full control over means of production they had significantky more than we do

Not a single one of these countries were axis powers?

Because as of yet the means of production aren't public property. So the people who own them get to decide the structure of production and they decided we don't get a say in how they are used.

They kill people and make their lives miserable for their own benefit. Places such as countries I mean, I was just playing into the wording of the post.

Lemmy is where you realize the place you were born in is evil and that you probably need to deconstruct some of the ways you think about the world because you grew up in an evil place. No one is calling you evil unless you brazenly support the evil thing

Always have a session 0 my friends

I'd hardly call tech CEOs civilians

I don't think we should start criticising people or movements for being un-american. It feels nice to use it against the fascist because you are hitting them where it hurts but it also normalizes the kind of nationalism they use to persecute oppressed groups.

Regardless of that idolizing Rome is actually very American. The Germans idolized it too. The west loves its empire

They have been doing a red scare about China for a while now tbh, it will only ramp up as their profits are threatened more

Thats just how capitalism works tbh, not uniquely American
