    Back when they were a communist nation, they and most other communist/aligned countries recognized them.

    Commies are cool, as it turns out.

      Kinda depends on what kind of commie. Authoritarians like CCP, Bolsheviks and the Kim family? Never. But the Kronstadt sailors who died fighting the hypocrisies of the Bolsheviks, and the Japanese Communist Party who chose the peaceful route to try to gain power? They are cool.

        It’s not about peaceful routes, it’s about sustainability and avoiding evil.

        Not all Bolsheviks were awful, too. It’s just that the general agreement about “we are doing a marxist revolution and transforming a country worse than intended for that, and so we can only afford unity and centralism, and some hard solutions are necessary” meant that the hard solutions led from executions of some people to executions of many, and unity led to gradually destroying opposition (the communist kind), and centralism led ultimately to Stalin.

        I don’t really want to get into this argument, but just out of curiosity what do you think about Cuba?

        Funny how the only “good communists” to liberals are the ones that fail and die.

      Commies are just as bad as Nazis.

      That’s the truth. It’s a failed murderous ideology that killed tens of millions in a few short decades and brought nothing but poverty, tyranny, death, and destruction everywhere it went. It’s flawed in both theory and practice, which is why it collapsed. All the modern day Marxists literally cannot defend this shitty ideology on it’s own merits. Their worldview is supported entirely on lies, fallacies, and willful ignorance.

      You can downvote and seethe all you want, won’t change the reality one bit.
