Conversation immediately goes towards, well they are solving poverty with Concentration Camps (I didn't even bring this ups). Like I do think shady shit is going down in Xinjiang, but Jesus it's China's issue and the US will absolutely not do anything good for the reason. It's funny how we were pointing out how the US never funds good people, but with China it's different. These people even agreed at the time Bolivia was a coup, just China is different. Only thing that calmed them down was saying "Do you think, given our track record, we could actually help China?" They agreed we would fuck things up more.

    I've gotten a lot of mileage out of, "there are two sides to every story, and you've only heard one of them." Both-sides the libs in a way they can't object to. I start with, "You've never heard about communism from anyone except an anti-communist," and then I hit them with some Lenin.

    This movie scene shows how it is done. I am not a member of NOI but I think that scene gets the point across. Just be honest, assume the best of your audience, and give them the opportunity to decide for themselves. You give them that opportunity by knowing your shit yourself. If you don't know your shit, you have not presented a choice to anyone. This is very basic mass line work. Mastering this technique is required of every one of us.
