"We got to face some facts... You don't fight racism with racism. We're gonna fight racism with solidarity. We say you don't fight capitalism with no black capitalism; you fight capitalism with socialism." Fred Hampton

There was nothing SOCIALIST about the USSR or China. Yes, I am aware that Marx and Lenin tried co-opting the word for their purposes because, believe it or not, back then SOCIALISM was a noble and smart set of ideas. So Marx and Lenin called their horrors "socialism done right" and their empire, "Socialist". But that does not make it true. In fact, when you use their co-opted meaning for this word, YOU ARE REPEATING MARXIST-LENINIST PROPAGANDA! And yes, most of the Western English-language mainstream (and non-mainstream) media are guilty of this.
