alt Hacker News> Its like you think the democratic party or the UK Labor party is ideologically aligned with China, North Korea, Cuba or Venezuela?
Why not show my whole sentence in context? Address what I actually wrote? Instead of just making shit up...
I think this is actually the worst bad-faith comment I've seen on the internet, and that's saying something...
But what is your issue there? You said
> Leftist states are absolutely authoritarian, from the UK jailing people for social media posts to China to extreme examples like NK, Cuba and Venezuela.
So what is the issue you are having with the sentence you quoted? You clearly identified them all as "leftist states". If "Leftist states are absolutely authoritarian", are right-wing states not?
Also I think its an insult to China to compare them in any way to the UK, yet another thing you will never understand.
