I’m witnessing fascism ascendant across America, I dunno about “the west”, nor would I say I’m still more scared of communism. I’m not scared of communism at all.
Can we talk about when the mass surveillance is done in the name of protecting socialism, and rooting out capitalism, without you resorting to “what about the west”?
Assuming you are arguing in good faith and not trolling, here’s a couple of articles about mass surveillance in Russia and China, two states that both claim to be socialist, and who claim to use this mass surveillance to protect and further socialist interests and oppose capitalism:
Russia does not claim to be socialist, nor is it. The PRC’s “mass surveillance” is lower than in western countries, and is largely directed against capitalists.

Mate, you were the one who came in here bleating “what about socialist countries!”
Would you care to give a bit more info about mass surveillance in the name of socialism? It’s first time I hear about it.

Dunning-Kruger.
