Sorry if the title is a bit weird, I’m curious about what made you believe what you do. Mainstream leftism usually doesn’t go any further than trans rights or maybe UBI in some places, at least from what I know, so what made you go beyond that? You can answer generally or talk about a specific belief, just wanna see what caused the more radical opinions in you

I’m particularly curious about what changed your opinions about the USSR and China, most people think they’re awful, but in here they’re really liked and defended, I’ve even seen a lot of posts denying the Tiananmen massacre and the Holodomor and stuff like that, what made you go to such lengths?

    Watching the coup in Bolivia shook me of any SuccDem liberalism I still had in me. Peaceful transition will never be allowed

      yeah jesus christ that was awful, glad it’s better now though.

      i’m also so sad by chile failing to pass the new constitution, and then Boric becoming more moderate as a consequence… it really sucks
