    I don’t downvote Leftists posts, i am in the center and I’m very progressive. If i weren’t, i would be on fucking gab (i hate that shit). I really don’t like people defending dictatorships, something i know very well since i live in Venezuela. Also accept that China is a cyberpunk dystopia with serious human rights violations and is creating a system that makes impossible for a revolution to rise. I’ve been told that money in Venezuela didn’t matter, that is a “socialist utopia” has also been told that Venezuela is not socialism, and that is stupid to call Venezuela a poor country (i literally just need to walk outside my home to prove then wrong). These are interactions i had on Lemmy alone. Now imagine how much shit i got on Reddit.

    English speaking leftist are always like “Oh, i don’t care about your first hand experience, this book i bought on Amazon says otherwise”

    Some people need to chill and start recognizing propaganda when they see it.

      Whether or not Venezuela is socialist, whats more important is that it has been under illegal sanctions from the US for decades. No country can prosper in that situation.
