    My first post here, but for those who don't want to read through 180+ pages, here's a (somewhat) shorter shareable debunk from my socialism faq. This post got me banned from several reddit pro-imperialist "leftist" subs btw.

    What's going on with the Uyghurs?

      I’ll guarantee it’s not the length of what I shared that’s preventing people from reading.

      I'm on board with what's said here but I want to bring up the video leaked from the former Uyghur model and I want to know why people think increased Uyghur autonomy is bad. I don't know if this is addressed in the document but I'll get to reading it.

      Supposedly the guy was arrested for some minor drug offence so he could be put there, if true I think that's bad. He's sitting there chained in a dirty room with lice and there's propaganda against Uyghur separatism blasting outside the window. Is this accurate and is this necessary to counter terrorism? Would the Turkistan Islamic party or something similar seizing power be why separatism is a big concern or are we just saying increased autonomy of Chinese regions is bad?

      Edit: These things aren't really talked about in the document, there is some discussion about the autonomy of Chinese regions, and an acknowledgement in the intro of "That while not doing what the Western world accuses it of doing, the Chinese government deserves scrutiny for the way they are currently handling their issues, even if they aren’t actively committing a genocide against a minority group or have been perfect. As leftists we must always uphold the tradition of “a ruthless criticism of all that exists” ", which is good at least :soviet-hmm:

      This is what happens when you force people to try and prove a negative. Especially when you provide no evidence and rely heavily on speculation.

      That's one of the observations that I think has potential to start people on the path towards questioning U.S. propaganda. If you point out to someone that people will believe anything a paper prints about one of the Bad Countries, it might get them started on questioning why they believe stuff so uncritically.

      The best examples of this might be the WMDs in Iraq story or the "survivor of Saddam's regime" who turned out to be the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador back in the early 90s. It has to be something well-documented as false that doesn't involve a socialist state.

    I have a friend who insists that the NCHRD report that extrapolate numbers akin to Zenz' is trustworthy. I quote, "Tankies like to ignore that one, or say the "sample size is too small", or show one picture of the founder standing next to Ronald Reagan 40 years ago, neither of which are rebuttals"

    Where do you even go from there?

      From page 1:

      Surprise, the United States Government and it’s running dogs have lied to you about a foreign enemy. Let’s separate the facts from the fiction. The following text below is a summary of the conclusions I’ve come to in my research concerning recent discussions of China & their Uighur Muslim population. Please note that I didn’t come into this document with the presupposition that the US was already lying, I actually started the other way around (I presumed what the US narrative was to be true and sought to prove why it was true to internet “tankies”, until I realized that it wasn’t):

      That China is not running a “cultural genocide” against Uighur muslim population or anything of the sort

      That while the moral underpinnings of the actions taken by the Chinese government are murky and should be discussed, there is more nuance to things than what is generally discussed

      That due to historical context, Leftists, especially Western Leftists, should be more wary of dominant media narratives pedaled to them by the news

      That the Chinese government is actively taking measures to aid the Uighur population that don’t line up with the dominant western narrative

      That while not doing what the Western world accuses it of doing, the Chinese government deserves scrutiny for the way they are currently handling their issues, even if they aren’t actively committing a genocide against a minority group or have been perfect. As leftists we must always uphold the tradition of “a ruthless criticism of all that exists”

      It should be noted that this document is an amalgamation of the writings of hundreds of other authors and myself. The purpose of this document isn’t 100% originality, but rather about building a truthful account of what is happening in China. This file is an ever expanding work in progress, which will be updated when more information is released. And most importantly of all, thank you for reading, Comrade

        This is a list of the theses of the book not a summary of their defense. You can't expect even genuinely sympathetic people to need to read a literal fucking book on any, let alone every, point of USA agitprop holy fuck. For people who constantly talk about the necessity of a vanguard party you really are just shit at it. Also for the love of god double space it.

            Oh come on, obviously no one is forcing anyone. My point was that you're not going to convince anyone who doesn't basically already agree with that treatise if you make no effort to present it in an easily digestible form (i.e. not a 300+ page book--which it would be if it was double spaced). For what it's worth I more or less agree with the theses and I just swear alot.

              Is there a reason why you can't skim through the document to get to the allegations of oppression and just read that?

                Because they aren't interested in reading things that don't affirm their believes. So it's useless arguing with them imho.

                  Ah yes, the ol' "If you don't read this random 160-page google doc you aren't fit to engage with the topic."

                  Reminds me of the rightoids who say random-ass things, and when pressed, source a random 120-min. lecture on YT from some Jordan Peterson-adjacent type and accuse others of not engaging.

                  Do better, or at minimum familiarize yourself with the topic so you can defend it on its own merits.

                is China an us puppet? the doc doesnt seem to acknowledge any of the accusations regarding cultural cleansing nor try to rebunk them. like all of you idiots i dont care about reading this shit. If you want to make a nice propaganda document you should actually try inserting some concrete facts in it that contradict the imperialist narrative
