China is notionally both and what they’re doing in Xinjang is at least genocide adjacent. Russia justifies their war on Ukraine as a struggle against genocidal fascists and again, it really seems like they want to destroy Ukraine as a separate culture and people by assimilation and extermination.

Both countries are frequently defended by left wingers

China is ruled by a communist party and position themselves as allies to left-wing governments around the world. They are clearly and explicitly left-wing.

Russia isn’t left-wing, but they use they are acting like fascist and committing genocide-adjacent acts in the name of anti-genocidal anti-fascism, the rhetoric that the original commenter parodied

I would go the Social Services office and explain my situation. Provided I could prove my identity I would walk out with a couple hundred dollars cash, an address for decent temporary accommodations, and an appointment with a case worker to find a more permanent solution for me.

That’s the security of the Nordic welfare state.
