Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.

They’ve been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren’t Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it’s bots or wumao. Human beings can’t possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

      Well the world is almost all neoliberal hell so maybe that’d be better than supporting a fascistic hellscape because they have socialist aesthetics.

      I support Cuba and various socialist movements… I don’t pretend Xi is a well-meaning person.

        Nothing about Xi indicates that he isn’t well meaning, and much more importantly the lives of hundreds of millions of people have been vastly improved during his governance as head of a dedicated communist party.

            Oh hey it’s you again, I think you forgot to answer me in the other thread as well: what is your solution to the Ukranian puppet government’s ongoing genoicide in the Donbas?

            It’s CPC and of course they are, there’s no reason to believe otherwise apart from being a dumb little racist baby who thinks only white people can do socialism properly.

              What are you on about, it’s both?

              there’s no reason to believe otherwise apart from being a dumb little racist baby who thinks only white people can do socialism properly.

              Maybe the fact it’s a dictatorship with no power to the people? Tell me, what Chinese factory workers own their means of production?

              Call me a racist? Cuba and Burkina Faso are true attempts at socialism, while the USSR under Stalin was not (Lenin was good though).

                So you want Xi to press the communism button?

                On a serious note, through a communist party controlled state, Chinese workers clearly have greater control over the means of production than workers anywhere else in the world. That’s why they were able to use the resources their own labor created to do things like have an effective covid response.

                  What makes you think this? Is that why their benefits and conditions are worse than succdem Europe?

                    China was profoundly underdeveloped, and only began to develop in earnest after a revolution in the 1940s. We’ll never know why it’s different than Europe. That’s a really good question.

                CPSU, CPV, CPK, etc… CCP is a weird, racist neologism coined by the west to emphasize the “Chinese” part of the moniker. CPC is the standard nomenclature.
