    My condition was that you demonstrate good faith first. But I'll still help a little anyways: it's not my definition. We're in a socialist space, a commie space, full of ancoms and Marxists. There is a very long history of how this term is used in those movements and here.

    How will you be demonstrating good faith?

      I think US hegemony is by far much worse than China. I think the world would be much better with China taking a lead role, providing better alternatives like better financing(the debt trap stuff is a myth that really applies to the IMF) and the BRI. China has the best chance of spreading socialism around the world and progressing us toward communism.

      That doesn't mean we have to turn of the critical part of our brains and act like there are never mistakes. I don't bad mouth China in liberal spaces like Reddit. In fact, they often call me a tankie on Reddit.

        Is this your example of demonstrating good faith? Maybe I should be clearer: the impetus that made you deflect and pretend at trolling is the bad faith. The flinging of shit and then expecting everyone to correct you otherwise they are good targets of criticism is the bad faith. Are you going to stop doing that, and why should I believe you? Not being a consistent sinophobe or declaring critical support doesn't really address my concern. I have no faith that when I start explaining, you'll engage rather than dismiss and troll and deflect. You have to establish the trust that you've broken in this space. That is the lesson I think you need to learn the most.
