Are Cuba and Vietnam considered good or bad? Nicaragua? How about the new coup leaders in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger? Any successful revolution has demonstrated the necessity of authority, to enforce an ideological will on society and stop the bourgeois class from re-appearing requires authority. Any revolution with be authoritarian, even and especially if it is the oppressed overthrowing the oppressor.
Sure, say you don’t like China, the Soviet Union, or the DPRK for your own reasons, but why use a term that encompasses any successful revolution, as even the CNT-FAI was finding a need for things like secret police during the awful times of a revolution.
You should maintain your site culture, but there’s a reason anti-communists and fascists use the term tankie as well, it’s imprecise and volatile.
Edit: I apologize if this is not a post meant to invite discussion, I just don’t see this perspective shared very often in these conversations.
LOL literally the temporarily embarrassed millionaire meme
