Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.
You can’t explain why standards of life have been massively boosted in actually existing socialist countries

How is it possible that there are only “good dictators” in communist countries?
Most outright dictators in communist countries were shitheads. After Stalin died, the USSR had the secret speech. After Mao died, the Chinese communist party made it a high priority to prevent any one person from ever gaining that much power again (which fell apart with Xi Jinping). Ceaușescu was more interested in a life of luxury than in the working class. Most communist countries at most times had a political elite that ruled, not an individual with singular authority over the nation.
