Well, you’re blatantly wrong about political freedom in China

Oh, were they better under the KMT or the colonial Japanese? Gotta say bud, your coming off as not very historically literate.

Also, the Soviet Union alone didn’t defeat the Nazis so fuck off with your tankie revisionist history.

Didn't say they did. They just spearheaded it, being responsible for 80 percent of german casualties, and losing 26 million people for their troubles. Britain or the US wouldn't have been able to defeat the nazis by themselves. Continental Europe would still be the third reich without those dastardly tankies.

Furthermore, because you’ve outed yourself as a tankie, this conversation is over. I will not engage with the likes of you, a pseudointellectual.

From the towering intellect that thought the KMT or the colonial Japanese provided more rights than the PRC.

Also "outed myself"? Really? That sure implies revealing deception, and I've been nothing but open and honest about my views.

Nuance is for good countries like the USA, UK and Australia. With them you can say when they fall short of their ideals that they are trying. With evil countries like the USSR or China they don't deserve historical understanding or nuance so it's either perfect or terrible, clearly.
