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.
This is generally my position. The argument doesn't interest me. First of all, there is so much history and so many forces involved in the political economy on our own continent that I couldn't pretend to understand the political economy and history of China. Yes, I have a rough historical outline, but I have faith that the Marxists over there have a much better understanding of the socioeconomic forces at play than some dimwit like myself.
While I hate to watch party dogmatists argue with western idiots, I really have nothing to contribute myself. I'm just trying to come to grips with the material conditions in my own home turf in the meantime.
