I like this version better, thx.

Anytime anyone whines about "commies / tankies", they're entirely complicit with these mass killings.

Don't know how your get one from the other. I can think that state socialist experiments were flawed, misguided, and ultimately destined for autocracy, and still think that targeting them with imperialist intervention is wrong.

Just because the US empire is evil doesn't make everyone opposing them good. The world is not black and white.

Who's the one telling you that the USSR, Cuba, China, Venezuela or Vietnam are/were autocracies?

If you actually investigate countries that have substantive / economic democracy, which goes far beyond the liberal equality before the law, you'll find them to be far more democratic than the countries accusing them of being autocracies.
