If Dessalines is receiving money from the Chinese or other fascist government to develop the Lemmy sourcecode
What kind of moldy McCarthyite garbage is this? If my Grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike.
That’s what happens when the communists are purged and billions of propaganda dollars are spent over generations to erase their memory: you end up with Newspeak, where people don’t know their asses from their elbows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Scare
I don’t really think you’ve captured communism: Cuba isn’t.
Communism has never yet been achieved, as any communist government will tell you. Socialism is a transitionary step toward communism. You can’t go to bed in a capitalist state and magically wake up to a classless, stateless society.
China has been moving away from communism for decades.
If you think that then you have not been paying attention to what’s been happening in China for the last decade.
Russia rejected the Communists for the Bolsheviks
The Bolsheviks were the communists! Come on. Maybe pick up Wikipedia or an even better wiki on the topic: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_the_Soviet_Union
Not OP, but I’ll take a stab at it.
In your opinion, are worker cooperatives operating in a market economy socialist?
That’s not really how it works. The fundamental question is: is the state capitalist, meaning a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, or is it socialist, meaning a dictatorship of the proletariat? While you can have a worker coop in a capitalist state, you’d still fundamentally be under the boot of the capitalist class that controls the state at the expense of the working class.
And do you consider any countries today socialist?
If you’ve never lived in a communist state you’re much more likely to favour communism. People who have (lived in communism) don’t.
If you’re really upset by it you can filter lemmy.ml which is gonna be the main source of left wing posting.
That’s true for you, anyway, because your instance is defederated from lemmygrad and hexbear.
First you choose to be a wage slave and then you hate your bosses?
Communists believe that socialism is a transitional state from capitalism to communism, but 1) communists aren’t the only socialists and 2) a lot of Americans think milquetoast social safety net capitalist reformers like Bernie Sanders are socialists despite them never calling for the abolition of private ownership of the means of production.
I see no way this could possibly go wrong

By that logic Europe’s and everyone else’s Russian oil & gas purchases are helping Russia’s war machine.
Edit to add: Russian Oil Is Once Again Trading Far Above the G-7’s Price Cap Everywhere
It has nothing to do with money spent. One is active hatefully divisive propaganda infesting the minds of the country on a total scale.
I call this the cooties theory of ideas. If it were true, then why are billions of dollars spend on propaganda every year? Do they just like wasting money? Were Edward Bernays and Walter Lippmann just cranks? Does Russian meme technology have a secret sauce?
Posting Cold War II propaganda seems to be a large part of OP’s job.

First of all, why would you think that? Second of all, everything is political so that is literally impossible. And third of all, only centrists who want things to stay exactly as they are, because they feel they are are benefiting from the status quo, ever say such things.
