I never said America was free of problems.

That's the issue with people like you; you see zero nuance and you refuse to participate in discussions in good faith. Any criticism of any (pseudo-)socialist group must be met with Whataboutism or other bad faith arguments.

    I'm happy to concede it's zero without looking it up; it makes no difference to either of our positions here.

    It's just a Red Herring for you to mount a soapbox to tell me and anyone who hasn't blocked you yet how China Did Nothing Wrong and America Did Nothing Good.

    That's why people evidently keep calling you a tankie, and that's how you and I differ so I never get called a tankie.

    TL;DR: Not All Socialists Are Tankies, but All Tankies Think All Socialists Are Tankies.

    I'm just telling you to fuck off in a more polite way, Mr. Nonconfrontational.

    You are just inventing straw men to attack at this point, after ignoring just about everything I said (save for the parts that helped you pivot to your propaganda pitch).

    You've done a +1 in the bucket of "Should I just block lemmy.ml?" Like 90% of the socialists I talk to from there end up being tankies and it's exhausting, not to mention erodes my faith in socialism. As I said, nothing you've said here has been in good faith.

    Why do you argue in bad faith? I have no idea. Maybe you're secretly anti-socialist and want to make socialists look dumb.
