I can’t quite tell if this is a parody, the trade union bit makes it seem sincere, but the self-importance to think that lemmy is too left for China to allow is just amazing.
I’m looking it up, and I don’t see any “Tienanmin Square”. Could it be “Tiananmen Square” that you’re thinking of? The one protesting government corruption? Where unarmed soldiers were burned alive? Where Christian sickos were trying to get students in the line of fire to create atrocity propaganda? Surely there must be some confusion here!
What type of society do you think would allow you to burn other people to death and string up their corpses? Is it one that you think would be an improvement over modern China?
point is focus your criticisms on your own society that’s 1000x worse than even the most exaggerated crimes about China, cracker. Chinese people aren’t children and they can handle their own country in their own way, they don’t need some forum poster condescending to them and you don’t need a warped preoccupation with a country that probably has nothing to do with you
January 6th already happened but no consequences did. The US will only deploy violence if the movement is left of whatever their crazy idea of center is.
almost no one in China feels that their state is an oppressive force, they feel the opposite. The government has more than a 90% approval rating. The overwhelming majority of Chinese people view their society as legitimate and socialist. If you had any interest in democracy at all you’d respect this perspective instead of imposing your own
She’s literally correct; studies from even anti-Chinese partisan sources can’t help but find that satisfaction with the government is overwhelming. While you treat anti-imperialist movements like this sitting from your home in the imperial core, you’re not a revolutionary or helping anybody build towards anything better, you’re an active hindrance. Feel free to imbibe the actual opinions of people in China so you can understand the conditions there and not just your cracker conditioning. It’s not perfect, but overthrow would be far; far worse.
I don’t consider myself a Marxist, Leninist, or communist of any stripe and haven’t had a problem so far. I’m far enough left that I refuse to call myself a liberal, but I suspect the folks who consider themselves Marxists probably think I’m too far right to self-identify as a leftist. (Although I do.)
Shitload of downvotes a time or two, but that’s about it. I just wanted to be on a Lemmy instance that was honoring the fedipact, and preferred it to have an instance ethos to the left of mine rather than to the right of it.
An intelligent conversation is not one that desires oppression, economic or whatever kind. That kind of dialogue you seem to refer to is basically pseudo intellectual hipster culture, the shit you see on reddit and in liberal spaces.
Meh, I’m not the one aggressively trying to shut down any conversation which doesn’t go hard enough on ML fan service. I actually came to .ml at first hoping to find a more academically oriented leftist community which was willing to engage with topics other than “let’s relitigate the cold war.”
You are obviously free to dismiss any criticism of this community as “NATO chauvinist propaganda” or whatever, just as im free to roll my eyes and say that the world deserves a better class of socialist.
Why would State Capitalists allow discussions about actual communism? God forbid he people get it into their head to form trade unions…

What is left about China? They literally murdered people for demanding the right to establish trade unions (see Tienamin Square)

Yes, one of their demands was the right to establish trade unions.
Were the trade unionists the ones immolating unarmed soldiers and stringing up their corpses?
Seriously if that shit happened in the US, the national guard would call in an A-10 gun run on the crowd
The US is a plutocracy. What’s your point?

aww muffin so sorry you’re still seething western color revolution failed
i’m sure Chinese people need patronizing crackers from the west to instruct them on what communism actually is
What? I stand with the Chinese people against their oppressors. Criticism of an oppressive State is not criticism of its victims.
…how often do you interact with Chinese people? Whenever I go back home to Wuhan I don’t really see much oppression happening.

Lol
That’s about the level of response I’d expect from a lib to inconvenient facts
Lol you think everyone who criticizes Capitalist governments like the US and China are liberals?
If it walks like a liberal and talks like a liberal, it’s a liberal.

(this is unrelated but I’ve only been going by she for a little while and it felt kinda nice to be called she like that, thank you.)
To be fair, .ml bans you pretty quickly for discussing anything outside of a pretty narrow stripe of Marxist Leninist orthodoxy as well.

I like it here.
Hats off, from a Marxist.
This is just a meme everyone repeats until they believe it.

I don’t think that’s a fair criticizm. After all my dumb ass hasn’t been banned (so far).
No there are bans for pro NATO bullshit. It so happens that ML ideology opposes western imperialism and English fascism.
So you are saying that you ban anyone that wants a intelligent conversation and mildly disagrees with you?
Fortunately logic and reality are not really things that dictatorships really all that interested in. So I guess carry on.
An intelligent conversation is not one that desires oppression, economic or whatever kind. That kind of dialogue you seem to refer to is basically pseudo intellectual hipster culture, the shit you see on reddit and in liberal spaces.
I can just look at the modlog and tell that conversations about oppression are only allowed in one direction
I can just look at your arguments and tell that conversations with you about politics are only allowed in one direction
