1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, Soviet gulags, Russian war on Ukraine, Iran is quite lacking on human rights too.
Is your point that China, Russia (both Socialist during the USSR and Capitalist during the Russian Federation), and Iran are all generally evils that must be opposed? What's your point, exactly, are you denying class analysis?
My point being Russia and China are both authoritarian and consequently have a history of doing bad shit to people. Iran was just a nice add on. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying by any means that capitalism is without its faults but it's far better than getting disappeared because you said something the supreme leader doesn't like. What America needs is not authoritarian or communism but government regulated capitalism like what they have over in the EU.
Hey EU citizen here. Our governments are absolutely authoritarian and we are very much being oppressed. We strike all the time to try to get the government to give us some crumbs, but not only do they refuse to listen, they also send the police in armoured gear to beat us up.
This is not the model you want in the USA, believe me. Maybe they present it to you in your media as some kind of paradise but that's very far from the truth, they probably say that to lead you away from a real revolution that would be disastrous for your oligarchy.
