    I get grim satisfaction from asserting my knowledge of theory against the smug liberals.

    That checks out. Now if only the tankies would have the collective spine to admit that their countries of choice are capitalist-flavored imperialism under the self-proclaimed veneer of communism.

      That requires them admitting communism doesn’t really exist in the modern world. Quite scary for them.

        It is religious or something with them. Paradise exists on Earth, for real, but they won’t travel there. Like ancient polytheists who didn’t bother to climb up Mount Olympus for a peek.

          I mean there’s Vietnam, Cuba and Laos. These are all communist systems.

          They don’t really care about them tho
