That’s the absolute truth.

Genuinely asking, why are there a lot of “China good US bad” posts on lemmy? Like is it Chinese citizens posting this, pro-communist westerners? Bots?
I ask because when I see pro-capitalist posts elsewhere I assume they are bots or Americans that watch too much Fox News.
There are some Chinese users, but the majority are just communists from different countries, not neceessarily western ones. Lemmy was made by communists, so there are more of us here.
but…isnt china bad? edit: this was a joke, sheesh
No, it’s one of the best countries in the world for the working classes at the present moment. It’s regularly improving, and though it has its issues, it’s doing well to work through them, which is more than can be said of the dying western empire.

On my part, or janewaydidnothingwrong’s?
I didnt think I had to include “/s” on this given the context of the post but here we are lol
The ROC had its white terror moments.
No, it’s not perfect, but it’s as good as it gets
Better than, say, Norway? By what metrics?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_rankings_of_Norway
Norway is a dictatorship of capital, and depends on imperialism to subsidize their saftey nets.
Unlike this picture, real life contains many shades of grey. There are some areas that could be improved but in other areas they excel about any other nation. It’s not black and white.
Life doesn’t have to be about identity and this picture screams “my identity is a tankie”, which is cool but just means it’s shit bias. Equally, saying a generic “China bad” screams that someone doesn’t alot about its politics
What’s shit about communists?
I have no issue with communists. I’m in the anti capitalist camp myself.
I guess all I’m trying to say is idealising nations as utpoian is unrealistic and demonizig them as dystopian is equally as unfair.
There are obviously exceptions where governments do treat their citizens like trash. I don’t like what America is doing at the moment. I try not to think in binaries generally, learning not to anyway
Communists don’t idealize socialist countries, not are we utopians.
I didn’t say that
