No, I believe it is a democracy after taking time to research how their government works, after spending years believing they were some weird dictatorship due to ambient western propaganda

The viable alternative is to get rid of the "free"market
I’m also not really sure what a viable alternative is in a free market.
“Subjective value theory” as opposed to marx’s “theory of value” which is sometimes mistakenly referred to as “labor theory of value” actually an earlier development that Marx refined into his own theory
Capitalism optimizes for exchange value not use value, also landlordism is a fuedal holdover that hurts capitalism, I would suggest reading the chapters in capital volume 3 on land rent
I mean, this is how businesses work in general. If you don’t buy their products/services, then they wouldn’t be able to continue providing them.
Of course people can simply refuse to buy housing and end up on the street, which isn’t dangerous or criminalized or anything/s
Yes. I mean women who fought against segregation in the US.

While the US had Jim Crow the soviet union had made racial discrimation a serious crime. Listen to these fascists interrogate Mr. Robeson and think about the context of anti-segregation activism with regards to the space race.
An audio version
You mean the black women who the US paid like shit to do critical math for the space program? (Including basically inventing the field of orbital mechanics) Those black women?

Man the omegaverse girlies keep dropping new lore, how am I supposed to keep up with these terms
Why capitalism loves doomers:
Except a lot of anarchist theory rejects scientific socialism as a methodology. Is there any mainstream anarchism that is rooted in dialectical materialism?
Oh, do you have private statements or writings where he was secretly supportive of it? Or are you operating entirely divorced from historical research?
Also:
Stalin often edited reports of Kremlin receptions, cutting applause and praise aimed at him and adding applause for other Soviet leaders.[33]
Ignoring this bit i see
Wikipedia has a capitalism supporting bias and says this
Like Lenin, Stalin acted modestly and unassumingly in public. John Gunther in 1940 described the politeness and good manners to visitors of “the most powerful single human being in the world”.[6] In the 1930s Stalin made several speeches that diminished the importance of individual leaders and disparaged the cult forming around him, painting such a cult as un-Bolshevik; instead, he emphasized the importance of broader social forces, such as the working class.[33][34] Stalin’s public actions seemed to support his professed disdain of the cult: Stalin often edited reports of Kremlin receptions, cutting applause and praise aimed at him and adding applause for other Soviet leaders.[33] Walter Duranty stated that Stalin edited a phrase in a draft of an interview by him of the dictator from “inheritor of the mantle of Lenin” to “faithful servant of Lenin”.[6]
A banner in 1934 was to feature Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, but Stalin had his name removed from it, yet by 1938 he was more than comfortable with the banner featuring his name.[35] Still, in 1936, Stalin banned renaming places after him.[36] In some memoirs Molotov claimed that Stalin had resisted the cult of personality, but soon came to be comfortable with it.[37]
The Finnish communist Arvo Tuominen reported a sarcastic toast proposed by Stalin himself at a New Year’s Party in 1935, in which he said: “Comrades! I want to propose a toast to our patriarch, life and sun, liberator of nations, architect of socialism [he rattled off all the appellations applied to him in those days] – Josef Vissarionovich Stalin, and I hope this is the first and last speech made to that genius this evening.”[38] In the beginning of 1938, Nikolai Yezhov proposed renaming Moscow to “Stalinodar”.[39] The question was raised at a session of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet. Stalin, however, reacted entirely negatively to this idea and, for this reason, the city retained the name Moscow.[39]
“You criticize society yet you live in it, curious”
Also the US didn’t have the first internet type network
And there isn’t slave labor in China
You’re living in an alternate reality.
No, accelerationism is vulgar deterministic Marxism, Revolutionary defeatism was invented by the Marxists who understood that to get socialism you need revolutionary conditions and a proletarian organization capable of taking advantage of those conditions.
Thinking that the defeat of western imperialism at the hands of Russian imperialism will improve revolutionary conditions is moronic and dangerous.
Growing multipolarity has already resulted in a lot of North Africa freeing itself from colonial domination: it has also created the conditions that allow for the economic isolation of the apartheid state of Israel.
Get off your ivory tower and actually study the present conditions.

Oh wow we got some “have to blow off the dust it is so old” racism here
Tell me you haven’t heard of revolutionary defeatism without telling me you haven’t heard of revolutionary defeatism
As an ML though you could argue that states are downstream of the economic circumstances that force their development
