The Indonesian genocide was massive, it’s disgusting how little known it is now

Yeah? Which history book taught you that South Korea was completely destroyed and a fifth of its population exterminated?

Yes it is

Both countries started at similar places in the 1950s, but picked different economic management systems right?

I was not aware that South Korea was completely destroyed and a fifth of its population exterminated

Yeah, let’s compare one country that suffered one of the most extensive destructions in human history, killing one in five people and leveling virtually all structures with a country that received infinite propping up from the global hegemon.

Just straight up admitting you’ve defined imperialism so broadly as to be meaningless

Imperialism: The practice of states to expand their influence beyond their sovereign borders.

So any state that uses diplomacy, trade, cultural exchange, or anything else to extend their influence is imperialist, meaning all states are imperialist, making the term meaningless. Western liberals love doing this, taking things that the West is specifically guilty of and redefining the word to be so broad that it applies to everyone, letting them keep the smug superiority of bleating “I think both sides are bad!” Without ever having to grapple with the ways their side specifically is bad

Sorry, in future I’ll try to couch my insults in tedious redditisms like you did, presumably that will placate the mods. Apparently writing condescending purple prose dog shit like “I will ignore your wrong, and partially ad-hominem attacks on Anark (like him supposedly not understanding Marx). They are baseless and tangential to the discussion” is fine but just being direct and calling you a dipshit is crossing the line of not being insufferable enough.

Lol. Here comes the quotations from the liberal Holy Scripture.

Technically any democratic government should be better than authoritarian.

Yes, which is why the democratic government of China is better than the authoritarian government of the US

“No, I can’t define it”
