      There are still plenty of members of the Leninist tankie cult left - look at the positions of most Communist Parties in Europe. To make things worse, I think most of them don’t even realize that the Soviet Union is gone and that China became a cyberpunkish corporatocracy that puts the worst western country to shame.

          It just so happens that he’s the less bad choice that we happen to have. We could be a lot better, we could be a lot worse.

          Better doesn’t necessarily mean good, just… Better.
