    If you don’t look thru a modern lens, Mao’s cultural revolution seems rather progressive in many ways. Same can be argued about some of the other names.

      Simply untrue. Even by their contemporary standards, they identified as and appealed heavily to the most conservative members of their populations. In fact, throughout history, these countries’ most conservative citizens have always been the only ones to defend them.

        He literally dismantled the traditional social structures. Was a radical left-wing leader. But somehow, you want to pretend he was a conservative?

        Just because he didn’t advocate for unlimited genders, he was a conservative! Lol.

        You’re a USian communist?

          The conservative trolls are out today! You are now repeating Fox News talking points. By your definition, Trump is a progressive! 😆

          Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. It is not possible for a conservative to enter any conversation in good faith because all conservatives are patholigical liars.

          Just own that conservatism is fascism. It’s accepted in the mainstream now. Even CBS bends the knee to fascism. It’s OK, fascist. You can just be yourself now. 🤣

            My country kept our fascist bigots out of our highest political office. I helped and voted to keep them out.

            I don’t watch fox. Don’t watch CBS. Don’t even own a TV.

            Your non-answer is enough to answer my question. :)

            The whole world doesn’t work or play by USian rules. People don’t become “conservatives” or “fascists” just because delusional commies from a wealthy western country label them as such.

              I truly don’t believe anything you say. You defend fascists. That makes you a fascist in my view. As my enemy, I have no reason to trust any nonsense that comes out of your mouth.

              If you truly don’t watch Fox News, then it should disturb you to learn you share their views on history. But, as a fascist, you will likely share numerous views with them, so it should not come as any surprise.

                Your shithole country is the one waging war against us and publicly announcing annexation of our sovereign nation. Making you my enemy. As my enemy, I have no reason to trust or respect your dumb opinions.

                Good luck out there, USian commie.

                    Naah, I’ll be dying on my feet. Taking out as many fascists as I can before I go. I’m not letting them put my family into camps and slavery that easy.
