Unlike others, Singham actually did give away significant parts of his fortune. He gave it to leftist causes — and that’s why he, as well as his life partner Jodie Evans, a founder of Code Pink and a leading political activist, were targeted.

I'm 100% supportive of social democracy.

Socialism isn't bad. China is.

Are you telling me that there is zero grey area here?

We aren't accepting of people like you who have not read an ounce of basic leftist theory coming in and spewing buzzwords and acting like it is some sort of informed opinion. You clearly haven't even read some of the most entry level shit like Manufacturing Consent or anything like that, you are incapable of having any sort of real discussion about these topics. We have theory and frameworks, you have pure ideology.

I'm unsure where you're getting any of this from. You can be pro-socialism and social democracy, whilst not being accepting of the shit that China is doing. These are not mutually exclusive things.

I literally just told you why you are facing resistance and why we are not engaging you on your bullshit
