In Ireland we suffered under British Imperialism and capitalism for hundreds of years and we had our own famine and repressions.
Fact that us often ignored in Anglo world... Or when it is brought up... This oppression is different ๐คก
Man are you going to have a wild time reading the First Act of Supremacy of 1534 from the United Kingdom. Couple of follow up bangers from it like the Act of Supremacy in Ireland of 1560. All that happening distinctly before communism was even invented.
If censorship in Soviet Ukraine is your reason for defending capitalism, don't let it go over your head that such things happened and continue to happen in capitalist countries and colonies too.
Again, authoritarian, not communism.
You really to get yourself educated my friend
Buddy im not even communist, i am still for capitalism.
Your criticism is given to you because of how ridiculous you sound when you regurgitate the same old propaganda that you watch on social media.
Its so obvious that these thoughts were not formed by you
Echo chambers suck, I'm sorry. It's assbackwards when people dismiss real, lived experiences that don't align with what they optimistically imagine those experiences would be like.
