    100% this, the chapo sub was considerably more critical of China before all the sinophobia took over the website during the HK protests. A lot of western communists were critical of China, just because in some ways it's better than the US, in a lot of other ways it's really not special in any way other than it's size.

    Cuba is like actually a model I'd want to see my own country make efforts to adopt, I don't really feel the same way about modern China.

      You have to understand that most Western leftists base their ideology on being the opposite of what their country, mainly America likes.

            "Don't resist american imperialism because China bad" is a brainlet take. Try harder at least.

                  I don't want to resist China, I want them to take over and bring over some of their techniques for dealing with troublesome individuals over here.
