    The classic reddit admin swooping to the rescue of slave-owners. Just like with their rage at Chapo. By posting this you might encourage others to liberate slaves and then where would spez and his crony followers be?!

    Wow hope they had fun in the communes where they’d be killed if they tried to escape.

    Seriously, get off your fucking high horse. I hate capitalism too but to pretend like these “communist” systems in the past were at all morally ok is blatantly ignorant and downright disrespectful to the millions of people that died due to the negligence/malice of the government at the time. And this one right doesn’t justify the many, many wrongs commited.

    And for the record, I think socialism can be a good system when done right. When it’s democratic and actually puts control into the hands of the workers. The CCP isn’t, and wasn’t that. It was a totalitarian regime with the illusion of socialist policies, when in reality you were still forced to work and given nothing, just like the worst of capitalism. And nowadays it’s just capitalism with a powerful state, the fact that tencent exists is evidence enough of that.
