    The point of the post wasn’t that the west can’t be criticized. Far from. More that for Leninists, there institutions are incapable of evil. Further, that any appearance of evil isn’t actually evil. It’s just a response to the wests evil decadence influence poisoning the minds of the proletariat. In ways only a massive tank can undo.

    Tiananmen Square being a specific example. First of all it didn’t happen. But if it did happen, they all abandoned their bicycles and ran off to an alley. Where they were safe as the tanks went through. No one was killed, everyone had fudge. But then again maybe it did happen the way you say, but it was only because the decadent West poisoned their minds. This is literally the batshit stuff leninists have to twist themselves into pretzels over to justify themselves.

    If you assert that they aren’t perfect, that their systems are as flawed as the ones they want to overthrow. Skreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
