Struggle session engage. Post your pathetic arguments so that I and the other China Good Posters can dismantle them and you can learn.

Key points:

  • China is a democracy. It is arguably the most functional and responsive democracy in a major country today. Its citizens consider it more democratic than the citizens of almost any other country do their own.

  • China is on a clear path to socialism and economic justice. No nation in history has ever reduced poverty in anything like the way China is doing it.

  • The vast majority of people in the PRC support the CPC. This is not due to being brainwashed. Americans are brainwashed and still hate their government.

  • Almost everything you hear about China in the West sits on a spectrum between malicious misrepresentation to outright fabrication with no basis in reality.

  • China's ascension to the premiere global power is an extremely good thing for world peace and the global socialist movement. While China does not actively support other socialisms (sadly it's not as good as the USSR in this regard) it does not do imperialism. China will allow socialisms around the world to flourish simply by not actively crushing them like the US and Europe.

    The neoliberal Pinker brag lines about reducing global poverty are lies. If you remove China and socialist nations from the data global poverty has been increasing. Capitalism INCREASES poverty, neoliberal austerity INCREASES poverty. You have fallen for a distortion of facts and given too much credence to their framing

        He’s wrong because he is stealing socialist valor and taking credit for the actions of socialist policies, saying that neoliberal global capitalism actually reduced the poverty - when in fact it was pretty much entirely China.

        Proletarianization is necessary component of a move from agrarian pre-capitalism towards socialism. Saying that it’s “not a good thing” just makes you a reactionary luddite - the morality of it is irrelevant. It’s going to happen, and if you resist it you will be undeveloped and easily exploited and conquered by imperialists

          Can’t believe there anti-capitalists here who want pre-capitalist agrarian societies instead of post-capitalist socialist ones. How do they expect to have a democratic proletariat state with no proletariat majority class?
