My dream now is to move to China and create propaganda for the sake of furthering communism. America is so systematically fucked that without literally killing every politician in the country we will never recover. Maybe maoist third worldists are right. We in real doomer hours now.

    I agree theyre more capitalist than socialist rn but the entire party is full of actual marxists so I do have hope that they will continue on their path.

        I don't know why this myth persists

        Western leftists understand just how bleak it would be (or is) to live in a world with no major leftist power, so they are willing to ignore pretty much anything to believe that China is leftist. It's just a better world to live in than one where the two world powers are competing to see who gets to be in charge of the global neoliberal hegemony.

        China isn't leftist and they regularly send money to support reactionary states like the Kingdom of Nepal and the Philippines fight leftist revolutions. They're also a horrifically authoritarian police state, and whether you call what they're doing to the Uygurs a "genocide" or not, it's certainly bad shit they're doing over there. China isn't your fucking friend.

          The Uyghur stuff is massively overblown by the west. There are legitimate critiques of China such as substantial restrictions on free movement for their citizens with regards to where they live in the country, but there isn't a genocide happening within their borders. It is fair to say they've taken a strong hand against Uyghur seperatist movements though.

          China, as well as countries like Russia, do represent a legitimate force against western imperialism throughout the global south though. This doesn't make them socialist in the slightest, but these countries do contribute substantial resources in defending the sovergnty and helping develop formerly colonized nation's.
