It should be noted that Feddit.org was included to represent Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

I did not include Baraza.africa as that was too encompassing as it covers the whole African continent.

Hopefully this post inspires more countries to join the blue club!

I was humble about it. I publicly admitted that I was a victim of propaganda and adjusted the way I acted going forward.

You're right that I probably could have put a other moment of thought into it before hitting post and I probably would have googled it and then changed it. Which is exactly what someone else has already pointed out to me and I've already done. So you're repeating them, and bringing no value to the conversation.

Humble would have been not asserting it in the first place.

You weren't "a victim of propaganda", my god, have some humility. What you were was ignorant.

I didn't assert it. In fact, I very intentionally used passive language to avoid asserting it as a truth. I said "I think there are... That claim to be"

I didn't say "Russia claims to be communist" or the likes.

I specifically phrased it that way to communicate that that was my understanding and not necessarily the truth. Then, someone told me my understanding was wrong and I corrected it. Then you came along, doing whatever this is.

I think there are

Yes, and that's the arrogance that I was talking out; thinking that your completely baseless thoughts are worth sharing.

someone told me my understanding was wrong

From what I can tell, your understanding is still wrong, given this "I was a victim of propaganda" talk.
