    Yes, for example, me an anarcho-communist who thinks western governments are generally terrible. But ALSO thinks that governments like Russia and China are absolutely terrible and committing different forms of genocide, am definitely on a CIA payroll right? That only makes sense?

      This from the group who’s intellectual ancestors shot at leftists like you and me before they shot the Czar.

      “‘Tankie’ is just a slur for people you don’t like”. No, it’s a term for people that have a definition of imperialism so bad that it doesn’t cover the Soviet Union literally driving tanks into another country.

      Literally, us anti communist communists are the worst aren’t we?

      Tune in next week folks, to see if the campist tankies solve the mystery of who shat “our” pants.

      Tap for spoiler

      I’m not sure which government i’d find the least shit. Probably somewhere like denmark maybe? Somewhere high on the freedom index.

        Having lived much of my life in those European countries that are romanticised (Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Netherlands)…

        I really think they are terrible. Like they are obviously better than Putin’s Russia or Trump’s America. But they are still really bad.

        I don’t think I can have a favourite government. I don’t know enough about the country for this to be a serious answer, but perhaps something like Costa Rica.

          they are terrible

          In your experience, what’s bad about those countries?

          costa rica

          it looks like a pretty solid choice to me ngl. It’s not one i’ve even considered. Thanks for this, i will look up more later.
