Oh God, oh shit, I said I wasn't going to do it. I said I wasn't going to start a China struggle session. Already getting flashbacks to the Discord.

But something just doesn't sit right with me and wanted to get some clarification here...

My question is this: why does China ban labor organizing/unions?

Is this yikes/intentional/actually a good thing?

(Yeah, I do know that labor unions are not always unequivocally good and sometimes they act more like middle management than as representatives of the workers... but democratizing the workplace seems like a no-brainer for any socialist project.)

Thoughts?

    I don’t criticize the PRC out of disdain, I criticize it because as an anti-imperialist force it has so much potential if it would stop liberalizing its economy and giving in to global capitalism.

    oh china/the CCP is absolutely still our best hope by far. Just the revisionists are too powerful in my ill informed shitposter opinion.
