- verdverm 4y agoBecause most people here want freedom for all, not communism and authoritarianism. We're not anti-China, we're anti-bad leadership

We all see it coming and fear we will have it land on us as well. So pointing out countries that are leaders in oppression is a nervous habit people tend to do.
- verdverm 4y agoBoth the USSR and CCP have both stated they want to spread their way to the rest of the world. Freedom is not the natural order, not even 300 years old, it has to constantly be defended, even from within from both the top and bottom.
- onethought 4y agoI think Ancient Greece is curious of your definition of Freedom? USSR doesn't exist... CCP have not said they want to spread "their way" to the rest of the world. What is "their way" Do you mean "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics"? what even is that?
- verdverm 4y agoCommunism has never been competitive with freedom. The USSR failed and the CCP is reaching the limits. Central planning is a bad idea, it breaks both countries and companies.
