Like, how is this or this supposed to make me feel comfortable using this site as an anarchist? How is "the left" supposed to achieve anything acting like this? Does "the left" even make sense as a cohesive group?
Edit: I mean, this one is just so absurd, it's got to be satire.
How is the left going to achieve anything with “leftists” saying things like “fuck China” and supporting color revolutions?
I don't know how an anarchist is supposed to react to the Chinese state except to condemn it. Being opposed to states is a pretty fundamental part of being an anarchist.
If your ideology makes it impossible for you do anything other than condemn a communist party that liberated a colonized nation, brought life expectancy from 35 to over double that, brought 800 million people away from the brink of starvation and is the entity in the entire world which most challenges global American and neoliberal hegemony then you might want to consider examining your ideology a bit more critically.
By focusing on what's going on in our respective communities instead of arguing about what's happening thousands of miles away. You say China good, I say fuck China - it doesn't matter. China has its shit handled. Xi doesn't care about what we think of him. Whatever China does is none of our business and none of our concern.
I wish China stans and China haters would put half the energy they spent fighting over an issue that they literally do not influence in the slightest towards signal boosting praxis in their own communities.
Except walking around saying fuck China and otherwise talking shit on actually existing socialist projects that have made great strides of human advancement is absolutely damaging to the discussion at home. It’s only feeding into and amplifying the propaganda that is designed to vilify leftism.
