Funny if true.

    Why would State Capitalists allow discussions about actual communism? God forbid he people get it into their head to form trade unions..

      I can't quite tell if this is a parody, the trade union bit makes it seem sincere, but the self-importance to think that lemmy is too left for China to allow is just amazing.

      i'm sure Chinese people need patronizing crackers from the west to instruct them on what communism actually is

        What? I stand with the Chinese people against their oppressors. Criticism of an oppressive State is not criticism of its victims.

          ...how often do you interact with Chinese people? Whenever I go back home to Wuhan I don't really see much oppression happening.

          almost no one in China feels that their state is an oppressive force, they feel the opposite. The government has more than a 90% approval rating. The overwhelming majority of Chinese people view their society as legitimate and socialist. If you had any interest in democracy at all you'd respect this perspective instead of imposing your own

              That's about the level of response I'd expect from a lib to inconvenient facts

              She's literally correct; studies from even anti-Chinese partisan sources can't help but find that satisfaction with the government is overwhelming. While you treat anti-imperialist movements like this sitting from your home in the imperial core, you're not a revolutionary or helping anybody build towards anything better, you're an active hindrance. Feel free to imbibe the actual opinions of people in China so you can understand the conditions there and not just your cracker conditioning. It's not perfect, but overthrow would be far; far worse.

          Said the anglo, eagerly parroting his three-letter-agency masters with his hands on his pearls and a breathless huff to his diction. I have never seen such eager catamites for fuckin genociders in my life; is this what living in Weimar Germany was like?
