    Conditions are improving year over year. What’s the point of being a communist if you demand instant perfection and ignore the real results in front of your face?

      Conditions are improving year over year in America. Like, literally go look up any statistics. Does that make it good? Does that mean you can’t criticize America without being a chauvinist?

      You are literally just using neoliberal platitudes like “expanding health care access” and it’s just as bullshit. There are no downsides to better worker protections except the loss of profits to capitalists. You’re talking about being a good materialist elsewhere, but for SOME REASON ignoring a basic economic motivation for the actual conditions. Hmmm…
