Why would communist support capitalists like Putin and Xi-Jinping which aren’t better than Liberal-capitalists ?

I am all in for stopping liberal capitalism, but I am more interested in implementing a happinex index like Buthan than living in oligarch-capitalist-regime like Russia/China

      Putin was forced to start a proxy war, shoot down a passenger plane, annex Crimea, invade the whole of Ukraine and commit multiple war crimes, because the people didn’t elect his friends, you see. /s

      russian propaganda is actually far beyond this, claiming that they are saving the people of the donbas from genocidal ukrainian nazis, which that guy didn’t say. Saying “hey maybe this isn’t as one-sided as western media makes it out to be” is actually closer to a centrist position
