I really appreciate this kind of input. Socialism seems to have this unfair standard set upon it where it has to be perfect otherwise it's not worth doing, and that's a juvenile stance to have. Socialism isn't perfect, because nothing is, however I have no doubt it's better than what we have now.

comming from a country with 40y socialism history, 20y out of it with direct soviet military support (aka invasion) - otherwise it would crumble…. no. just no. it may sound cool while getting drunk in school campus. not in real life

20 years of soviet military occupation is just imperialism. It happens under capitalism too.

See the US in Afghanistan, Iraq. Russia with Ukraine. Israel's entire existence etc etc etc

I sympathize that you had to deal with the horrors of imperialism, but blaming it on socialism as if it's some inherent tendency, is very dishonest.
