“I hate tankies”

“Operation condor, operation gladio? whats that?”

So who told you china is trustworthy?

The Chinese people. Non-anecdotal evidence, from an anglo source:

• In contrast to low US political approval ratings, 96% of Chinese are satisfied with the national government (Edelmans 2016). World Values Surveys says that 83% think the country is run for their benefit rather than for the benefit of special groups. A Harvard research center study of long-term public opinion survey finds that > 95% of Chinese citizens approved their government. How is this possible in a one-party state? (TED talk by Eric X Li)
• The real wage (IE the wage adjusted for the prices you pay) has gone up 4x in the past 25 years, more than any other country. This is staggering considering it’s the most populous country on the planet. The US real wage by comparison is lower in 2019 than it was in 1973.

“Gonna need to see a source from a white country before I’ll believe anything positive about China, the DPRK, Venezuela, Cuba. If it ain’t white, it ain’t right.”

You’ll need to educate yourself on the history of socialist states yourself, I can’t do that for you.

A good place to start is the PRC’s five dont’s, a list of things to avoid at all costs from bourgeois democracy.

Very few modern states are settler states based on native eviction: only the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel.

The major colonialist powers of the last few hundred years were a tiny number of european nations.

But unlike a dictatorship, the democracies improved

The US and other capitalist states based on representative democracy aren’t democracies, and you’d be hard-pressed to find ppl saying they’re improving.

The US and Britain genocided entire continents using representative “democracy” (IE capitalist dictatorship).

Socialist / people’s democracy. It takes different forms in different countries, and many countries in the global south that are currently capitalist are starting on that socialist road.

Bourgeios “democracy” isn’t actually a people’s democracy, even though its sold as one. Its really an oligarchy/aristocracy/capitalist dictatorship.

We shouldn’t allow capitalists to define democracy as bourgeios parliamentarism, especially when that form of government works against the interests of the vast majority of people.

True. After years of letdowns, some might accept that electoralism is a rigged game, but then the next generation completely forgets everything.

And for all of them, the socialist road is demonized and kept hidden, so no alternative seems possible.

Why not address the Uyghurs or censorship?

And when we do this, as we have and continue to do, you’ll still label it as whataboutism.

This thread is a testament to the years of china bad slop that white supremacist liberals have been eating.

Major props to all the patient comrades below trying to educate these stubborn klansmen.

Assuming this comment isn’t ironic: there is no such thing as a good landlord. Landlords are parasitic middlemen who live by leeching off the value created by workers. They contribute no value whatsoever.

This is admitted even in mainstream economics, its termed rent-seeking.
