    "Your ideology has had a century of being violently suppressed. Clearly my ideology that has been around 150 years longer than that of being in full control of the world's resources and is leading to the extinction of human life on the planet is better."

    You could say that of Cuba, but the Soviet Union wasn't really even being suppressed during its peak.

    The Soviet Union and its allies were 100% being economically suppressed by the west. If the citizens of a capitalist/imperialist puppet state gain self determination and economic freedom through revolution or even by liberal electoralism, they are ostracized and their governments are punished via economic sanctions and/or outright violence. Liberal bourgeois democracies can be either left or right leaning, even fascist leaning, but once they cross the threshold of economic parity, they are no longer worth anything to the capitalist classes that control and influence the world economy.

    China is literally lifting millions out of poverty, reverting desertification and improving people's lives all the time.

    Do not forget that Amerika and Europe have been attacking communist countries for decades.

    Taiwan, Japan and South Korea also lifted millions out of poverty and did it quicker

    They are all colonized by Amerika you dummy. And lifted out of poverty? Are you having a laugh? Suicide rates are high in those countries, there's constant abuse of the proletariat and people becoming poorer and poorer but sure.

    You could say that communist countries have been attacking capitalist countries for decades as well

    What a fucking joke, completely ignoring Cuba? Vietnam? Or hell, even DPRK? How about all the South American countries that Amerika overthrew? Or how about the same with Iran back in the 1950s? Yugoslavia??

    Oh, how about Libya, which was considered one of the most successful African countries until Amerika and NATO intervened and now it's destitute and has open slave markets?

    How about Amerika having 800 military bases all around the world? Who has never been in a defensive war, never actually NOT been in a war?
