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.

    Yeah, fuck me for piping up about a discussion I remember and not remembering the exact search terms that will bring it up. Next time I just won't participate and only people who agree will participate in the 'convince people who disagree' thread.

    Really fucking helps when all the post titles are ironic shit like 'is dis u?'

    I've been trying to find it this whole time people have been downvoting me and replying with snide shit and I'm already past 'fuck it'.

      I mean if you're admitting you don't really know what you're talking about that deeply, and you're just saying something you remembered you saw in another thread - but can't remember any details at all about that thread, and can't provide other sources backing up your (quite extreme) claim...I expect you to get shit on, sorry.

        Well I have the memory of all of the revisionists on this website acknowledging it then and pretending they don't know what I'm talking about now, so I give this 'convince people china is not actually bad' thread an A+

            "the cultural revolution never happened because you can't find a thread with an unsearchable title"

            A+ outreach. I love the pompous frills from this last reply.

            I guess the only way to have an actual conversation about Mao or the Chinese government is to keep a list of every negative thing you ever hear about them, which I guess I must now actively seek out. Hope that was what you were going for.

            Of course none of the 'China experts' in here will help jog my memory.

                "If you can't find a thread with an unsearchable name, that means you didn't actually see the thread or read what it was about"

                Cool.
