Okay I take it you're an anarchist then.

Fine, but then you really shouldn't be focusing on China. The US is just as guilty of this, more so I'd argue, especially if we're not just arguing domestically. Whatever country you're from is also guilty of this. Every country is.

I'm not an Idealist, but I'd rather die than live under a dictatorship

brother then you know what to do because your ass is living under a dictatorship of the borugeoisie

here is how they treat peaceful journalists:

The same way any country deals with journalist entering restricted areas??

here is how they treat peaceful journalists:

No way you just linked to a CNN dipshit shoving his way through a restricted area while speaking only English. Your "journalists" don't exist they're Western chauvinistic propagandists. Do some self crit and explore the resources hexbear shares on modern China.

sorry, i wasn't aware i was talking to a vaushite.

Hahahahahaha oh fuck that was hilarious, thanks for posting. "Sirs! They are manhandling me! I say! We are in a public space and they are manhandling me!" Fuckin hilarious, I got no sympathy for CNN anglo propagandists trying to muscle their way into that space when they don't even speak Mandarin and they're obviously there to do a hit piece. Cry about it

but I'd rather die than live under a dictatorship

Then why are you alive right now?

LIBERALISM

...what if someone else (someone else as within some other member of the CCP) came to power who doesn't like free speech, they could use this against free speech.

They can and do. Free speech is a bad thing, especially in a nation under siege from the Great Satan. I especially want you and people with your views to have their free speech suppressed.

Now you may say: that's not as bad as some US police brutality, but that is because in the US these things actually get investigated and the officers that did wrong at least sometimes get what they deserve.

Unironically believing this . It took over a year of protests and riots all over the Great Satan to get one (1) pig to get anything more than a slap on the wrist!

first: they know less about you than the CCP does about a chinese citizen

Fake news.

True you can protest and be blinded by rubber bullets, run over by vigilante trucks, and be ignored by legislators. Freedom baby~

i'd like to introduce you to a bunch of my comrades who protested the genocide of Palestinians on college campuses

i want you to tell them they're very free to protest in the USA and their efforts have viable effects. You might have to do it in person since some of them still can't see through the pepper spray and can't hear very well from their head injuries

Which country do you live in?

If it's the US I'd suggest you focus on criticizing your own country first.

If it's another country the US probably has far more geopolitical influencer over your country than China does, so you're still using your time better criticizing them.

Why bother making a hexbear account when you're just going to be banned for being a liberal

Lmfao imagine equating communists with capitalists and dictators and saying it doesn't make a difference, are you a lib?

posting this here for those who might click on these links and read

Many westerners come to socialism not out of necessity, but out of disillusionment. We are raised with the idea that Liberal Democracy is the best system of political expression humanity has devised. When confronted with the reality of its shortcomings, rather than narrowly discard liberalism or electoralism, the western anti-capitalist tends to draw sweeping conclusions about the inadequacy of all existing systems. Curiously, though it would at first seem that such denunciations are more principled and severe, they are in fact more compatible with existing and widespread beliefs about the supremacy of the western system. That is to say, when a Marxist-Leninist asserts the superiority of existing socialist experiments, they are directly challenging the idea that westerners are at the forefront of political development. By contrast, the assertions from anarchists and social democrats that we need to build a more utopian future out of our current apex are compatible not only with each other, as discussed earlier, but also do not really offend bourgeois society at large. They in fact end up not sounding too different from the arch-imperialist Winston Churchill holding forth on how ours is the worst system, except for all the others which have been tried. Western chauvinists, consciously or unconsciously, struggle with the idea that they should study and humbly take lessons from the imperial periphery. [15] It is much easier for the chauvinist, psychologically, to position oneself as at the very front of a new vanguard.

The result of this grim state of affairs is that the oppressed classes understandably become deeply cynical about the entire notion of “politics.” Or, to put it in terms of political tendency, regardless of who they vote for at the booth, they begin to become dyed-in-the-wool Libertarians; “incompetence of government” becomes their main transcendental political truth. This becomes especially apparent when they discuss the choking and overthrow of the government of other peoples, in Venezuela and Syria and Korea. Normally, disillusionment with one’s government would lead to demands for better government, or different government, but Westerners are so ingrained with the idea that theirs is the best government, that instead they reject the very idea of good governance altogether. And so the masses learn to passively embrace the encroachment of private corporations over all aspects of the economy and indeed life in general.

Now consider these excerpts from the aforementioned Guardian article:

For a reliable benchmark about the power of the party in China, you only need to listen to wealthy entrepreneurs hold forth on politics. These otherwise all-powerful CEOs go to abject lengths to praise the party. To take a few companies listed in a single article in the South China Morning Post, Richard Liu of e-commerce group JD.com predicted communism would be realised in his generation and all commercial entities would be nationalised. Xu Jiayin of Evergrande Group, one of China’s largest property developers, said that everything the company possessed was given by the party and he was proud to be the party secretary of his company. Liang Wengen of Sany Heavy Industry, which builds earthmovers, went even further, saying his life belonged to the party. [14]

Just as the lack of dignity of American workers isn’t merely superficial, but symptomatic, the same is true of the lack of dignity of Chinese capitalists. The periodic execution of corrupt capitalists and the humiliation of Jack Ma matter. Chauvinistic “Left” intellectuals may dismiss them as performative, but Western capitalists accustomed to impunity understand the threat loud and clear. The dignity or indignity experienced by different classes testifies more to the class character of a state than musings about its leaders’ sincerity.
