Y’all are so quick to suck up to sketchy leaders when you could be hoping for someone more classy like Thomas Sankara.

It's so obvious that the only standard western "leftists" have for who was a "classy" leftist and who was an evil authoritarian is whether they were martyred or not. You're clearly just readapting Christianity here in order to say the only good leftist is a dead leftist

No, there are plenty of good leftists whom are living. Jesus, lemmy.ml users make heavy accusations towards anyone who even somewhat disagrees.

The only difference between Sankara and the leftist leaders you've condemned is that Sankara was martyred.

  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
