It's kind of a shame that the only living communist most westerners know is Xi Jinping, and they don't know he's a communist

    West ≠ the US

    Although you bunch likes to think so in your exceptionalism.

    "Westerners" refers to people in the global north both here and in common parlance. Latin Americans will say this is not true but that's just because they think being catholic somehow exempts them from being neocolonial subjects.

    Nobody is talking about LA here, except you. LA isn't western. I was just saying you like to forget the EU (I mean, they're just vassal states but still) or conflate them in the same hivemind.
