How should we frame our arguments in response to a meme that paints every single prominent socialist and socialist country as fascist without addressing each one?
Really the burden of proof should be on the one making the claim, shouldn't it?

People confuse facism and authoritarianism all the time, and people respond to this as if they've never figured this out.

So instead of anything productive these threads churn out:

Omg communist countries are fascist!

actually no socialist!

lol oppression

hey why do so many socialist states end up being super authoritarian?

hey yeah thats a huge problem, but lets ignore it because west bad
