This has less to do with liking capitalism than it does with self-avowed communists on the internet being insufferable.

Exactly. I legitimately long for an actual leftist space which isn't just edgy anti-western brain rot. I want to actually discuss theory and praxis and statecraft with people who can actually acknowledge that obsessive Chinese autocracy should be condemned as harshly as western imperialism. Unfortunately, my experience on Lemmy has once again demonstrated that this is impossible.
