They are the original Lemmy devs which is why I joined there. Horrible mistake, reactionary idiots who project their insecurity on others while thinking that they are the only ones who figured out the secret sauce. Pretty much exactly sovereign citizen level quackery.
To be fair, how do westerners not treat capitalism and democracy with exactly the same weight? I think both sides would have good reason to argue that neither side has figured out the secret sauce as you say.
Not a huge stretch to think both the US and Russia treat their citizens poorly, and neither is a model for the rest of the world.
Russia is also capitalist, and I think you meant to say “democracy” instead of “capitalism” there since authoritarian capitalism is definitely a thing (see Russia and China).
You know the answer to this question. The person you are replying to mentions the system of government of countries doing capitalism. No need to be so pedantic.
…what does the ml stand for?
Marxism Leninism

Because while both are shit, under capitalism I can at least say it’s shit without fear of incarceration or reeducation.

Unless you’re a whistleblower
What has capitalism got to do with freedom of speech?
What does Stalin have to do with freedom of speech, because tankies support authocrats and dictators worldwide, but especially are fans of Stalin.
What you talking about bossman?

I think the pedantry is warranted. A lot of people like to conflate capitalism and democracy.
Alot of people also confuse freedom with capitalism and democracy. The propaganda runs deep
