I may be a dunce, but from my readings of Marx, Lenin, and Mao, I gain no insights on how to navigate the whole Uyghur issue. I mean, clearly the situation is being smeared into an Iraq WMD 2.0 situation, but also it is clear there is more than nothing at the root of it. I'm certainly not the most well-read ML in the world, but from what I've read, it mostly revolves around epistemology and an orthodox application of dialectical materialism. Dogmatism is called out repeatedly throughout the ML literary canon. I think what happens is that online we attach the term "Tankie" to "dogmatist," and then we attach "ML" to "tankie," and from there we make huge generalizations which are easy for people to sockpuppet and reaffirm.
