    The most bizarre thing about the pro-PRC Tankies is their belief that 2020 China isn't a major capitalist player, as if there aren't economic extremes within the country, as if China is ruled by working class people. It's simultaneously racist and pure fantasy. "Racist, you say! But how?"Because basically people don’t believe a country full of non-white people could be crushing a white-dominated country at the imperialist capitalist game AND also that China, like, changed with time. People of color aren’t static cultural objects!

    not today CIA

    How about Western "Leftists" don't believe that a country full of non-white people is capable of being anything but masses hypnotized by Machiavellian tyrants?

      Are non-white people somehow less immune to this than white people or have you forgotten about the last couple decades?

        America is a system that has perpetrated plenty of brutality without the need for a tyrant. Americans aren't hypnotized by Trump (or Reagan or Clinton or Obama or whoever), they've been this way, as a people. Same with all the Western nations, same with the fascists. There's no disavowal, we're all implicated in domination and conflict. So pick a side and stop thinking you're magnanimous for championing naive enlightenment era understandings of liberty and freedom while parroting the viewpoints of a regime which has used these notions in their sloganeering at the vanguard of the global conquest of liberal capitalism
