And is thus preventing China from becoming an epic Liberal Democracy, sparing the West from China's rise.
I hate how these people treat countries like football teams. It's all about who wins and loses the game of domination to them, rather than something with real material consequences with real human suffering involved.
"Sure, our country's insane capitalist imperialism was filled with slavery, the great depression, insane forever wars and corporate corruption and greed so bad that I'm pretty sure Exxon's pro-oil propaganda has doomed the human race and all life on this planet to global warming... But at least we won the global dick-waving contest! Wooo, 'murica!"
Similarly, I see lots of headlines like 'China calls for peaceful reunification with Taiwan' that has Americans commenting 'Can we trust them? They're so warlike' with no goddamn irony
These people really do just handwave away the notion that the CPC and Xi enjoy a level of popularity and trust that literally zero politicians or political parties in the west can even come close to.
"Noooo you don't understand you tankie people are supposed to hate their politicians that shows the system is working!"
a level of popularity and trust that literally zero politicians or political parties in the west can even come close to.
:lula-bars:
If China became a liberal democracy, why would a liberal fear the rise of China?
:us-foreign-policy:
Oh yeah...
The empty-headed pogger really did just admit to being a white supremacist didn't he lmao
scratch a fuckin liberal indeed
He's "right" for the wrong reasons, typical of reactionaries; Xi is a comparative moderate in the upper echelons of the Chinese govt. He's a dedicated marxist theorist and a real believer. This is not true for others. There are plenty of liberals (i.e. hypercapitalists) and straight-up reactionary nationalists and more than a few of the latter are militarists in the PLA or with strong connections to it. People who would be even less hesitant to press the button, as it were. A coup or color revolution would by necessity mandate that one of these other factions comes out on top, and that's where the real danger would come. Xi keeps these other factions in check, so it goes without saying that Xi is, in fact, the best possible person in government, for both practical and socialist reasons.
Because the liberal democracies have just been killing it the last decade.
this dumbshit is so consistently wrong that I think he gets paid for this
I think they're saying that since gommunism bad and has never worked anywhere ever Xi being a Marxist means China is doomed to failure and America will continue to be dominant. So they're pro-Xi because they think he's bad for China, and bad for China is good for Naziland.
they're probably huffing the China gonna collapse shit so Xi was the one blundering China into the collapse thru marxism, his coup'ing would arrest that collapse when a Lib takes over, is my approximation of the logic
Pretty sure he's saying this tongue-in-cheek as a way to denigrate Xi and Marxism
This is like us rooting on :trump-anguish: to ruin Amerikkka, except wrong.
Is there a version of horseshoe theory for when you get the right answer but the work is wrong?
It's like your :brainworms: having :brainworms:
Lmao these people really are the last generation of neoliberals and it's all their fault. They've somehow convinced themselves, after years of successful propaganda and CIA sabotage, that communism inherently leads to failure and therefore should be encouraged. Trust in the Five Eyes organizations, who do the actual legwork in destroying communism, is secondary to that now. Imagine how they'll sound the moment their global espionage network goes down and only that encouragement remains.
