Tbf, Russia and China seem very much capitalist economies, but I'm not an economist, so there's that. But an authoritarian is an authoritarian, regardless of where on the spectrum they fall.

Oh they are definitely capitalist economies, China pretends to be communist, but definitely is not. Thing is that Tankies typically defend Russia and China as great countries unfairly maligned by the west. I'm not a Tanky. I have no issue with the Chinese or Russian people, but their governments are fucked, and anyone who cucks for them is deluding themselves.
