It isn’t about a stupid picture that people relate to a failed country that didn’t have free speech.
if i’m trying to twist things you’re fully succeeding. ‘free speech’ in american context means unlimited speech for those with money.
the USSR was actually quite successful, it did fall to capitalist encirclement eventually, but i don’t think we’re going to agree on metics if ‘free speech’ is your highest priority.
this just treats socialist organizing like a consumer product that needs rebranding
pursuing “proper messaging” for something like this tends to just mean water down the substance until nothing’s left

every political tradition has to defend its history, i see no value in running from it. but thank you for the lesson in marketing

you seem perfectly fine with liberal authoritarianism tho, does that make you blue maga?

you cited unlimited ‘free speech’ for capitalists as a positive ideal that the USSR failed to uphold. what else am I supposed to infer?
