If you believe in heaven, getting killed by Russian military for defending your home and freedom is something you could count as ‚liberated‘. Go to Bachmut. Go to Mariupol. Show me how liberated these cities are now.

Why not starting to liberate Russian cities, before invading another sovereign country? Go to Moscow and protest loud on a public street against Putin. Or against high prices. Or against anything else. You will find yourself in prison fast. One of the last countries in the world that should liberate others.

Corruption is a problem in Ukraine? Absolutely. But guess which country is even lower in international corruption indexes?

There is a lot of western Propaganda. But it needs no propaganda to see that Russia is a dictatorial, highly corrupt state with very little freedom.

How many people in Ukraine got shelled by Russia? Ask them if they want to be liberated by a country without free speech or democracy. I mean, ask the ones that are still alive and not already killed by Russian military.

I missed when Russia invaded China…

Power corrupts people. Everyone powerful, even with the best intentions starting, becomes more or less evil because there is no good regulation and feedback. The transformation to communism needs people with power to ensure society stays on its path. So has every socialism country. Having a powerful minority ruling the population will cause discrimination and abuse because almost nobody will give back his power by choice.

growing up in a country with socialism past I can say that the change to democracy has changed more to the good than to the worse. Sure there were some things better back then. But overall it’s a better society now. Not ignoring, that there are many things really bad in our current mainly capitalistic democracy damaging it from inside. And doesn’t matter which country with a former socialism system you look into: the majority of people experiencing both say overall it changed to the better.

I hope one day humanity will evolve to a point where ideal communism will work. But I don’t expect us to experience this soon. And if we get to this point, we won’t need something like socialism for transition.

Not what I see but maybe my expectations are wrong. Still not what OP wrote and I was invited to explain my downvote to the initial post

Communism looks good. In theory. But for me it seems human mentality isn’t far enough evolved so it would work. Also China is far away from an ideal communism.

I can say capitalism is shit and all the other large scale established systems arent perfect too. No need to pick a side. We won’t develop something better saying one of these is already good enough
