    millions protesting in HK

    Have a source for this that isn’t organisers puffing themselves up?

    Edit: people crying about HK specifically being pro 2019 riots just shows they have very little understanding beyond a hate for China (and most likely Chinese people). A man (Chan Tong-kai) murdered his pregnant girlfriend (Amber Poon Hiu-wing) in Taipei. Returned to HK and admitted to it to the authorities but because of a loophole in the law could only be charged with money laundering for stealing her stuff after he murdered her. The government then went to fix the loophole as any government should which the colonial brained “democratic alliances” seized upon. If you are pro leaving gaping holes in the law for murders to get away without any consequences you are a bastard even if you pretend it’s all for the greater good (in your mind) of a recolonised HK.


  • Colonial famines only explain the starting point. The real explanation is that the Global South largely stayed locked into capitalist extraction chains. Core economies required cheap labor and raw materials from the periphery. That structural position kept mortality high and blocked independent development. Socialist states broke that dependency. They redirected surplus into public health, housing, and food security. The outcomes of this are obvious, life expectancy doubled in a generation, infant mortality collapsed. The material basis improved because production answered human needs instead of profit margins. The idea of post soviet governments simply being confused and not knowing better is a nice fantasy but is completely detached from reality. The mortality spike was not administrative error. It was policy. Shock therapy dismantled central planning. State enterprises were liquidated. Housing guarantees were revoked. Social services were defunded. Mass unemployment followed overnight.

    The new governments knew exactly what they were building. They replaced planned distribution with market extraction. The human toll was accepted as transition cost. Capitalism does not stumble into crisis. It manufactures crisis through deliberate dispossession.


  • Oh so you just imagined it so and thus it must be so.

    no country does this for a good reason

    I don’t know I think restricting information and intel from spreading to the power that tried to exterminate them occupied half their country, then isolated them from the world in an almost medieval siege warfare attempt to starve them out and remains at war with them is a pretty good reason to be more enclosed but I guess you just know better.






  • Do you truly relish the political disenfranchisement of the populace so much?

    If you truly believe we are disenfranchised because the American backed regime change failed I truly feel sorry for you. China has one of the most involved political systems I have heard of. We have constant interaction with our elected representatives at the town/city and county level through the local party offices where feedback criticism and petitions for changes are constant. We are listened to and our ideas are constantly worked on and applied in different ways as satisfying the people and earning achievements is how you get your peers to elect you to the provincial and national level. There is a reason that even from Harvard’s studies they found we have a high satisfaction with our government (95+%).

    protests are impossible now

    This is also a falsehood we have protests but they are about real single issues as opposed to regime change events backed by outside agitators.


  • Non aggression pacts are not the same as allying with the Nazis. It also wasn’t a betrayal when the Nazis invaded. Destruction of the slavs and Lebensraum in eastern Europe was Hitler’s inevitable goal he ranted about it in meinkamf for fuck sake everyone knew it was happening eventually. The non aggression pact was necessary to delay the inevitable long enough to industrialise and build up a force to fight the Nazis largely alone as the western powers had continuously refused to form an anti nazi pact since 1933. The soviets were also the last major power to sign a non aggression pact with the Nazis. The USSR broke the nazi beast took the majority of the casualties and killed the most Nazis.



  • Also thank you for your hard work in educating everyone. It’s not going to waste, and everyone is learning a lot from your posts. o7

    Thank you always great to hear.

    Don’t feel that you need to argue with these racists, because it can lead to burn-out quickly. You can always report them and we’ll try to get to it ASAP.

    Yeah definitely I always make sure to report any actual racism etc I see but it is fun to blow off steam arguing with/making fun of them at the same time even if it’s entirely unproductive.



  • Such great documentation such as a journalist who was evacuated before the clashes saying he saw 10,000 killed. Genuinely unserious. You have literally no idea what was taught in the course. It was largely even handed about the many errors of the government which led to unrest, how that was seized upon by outside agitators how many were killed as the rioters and police/the military clashed. But obviously nothing short of pure hatred of the wests enemies will ever be enough for you people.




  • authoritarian state

    Authoritarian is a meaningless pejorative used by the unintelligent and uneducated to avoid class analysis. Every state exercises coercion. The question is which class benefits. China’s legal system has demonstrably reduced corruption and constrained capital’s excesses in ways other (Western) systems have not. If your ideal “leftism” cannot account for who holds power and how law serves that power, then your ideal is simply fantasy.



  • Westerners aren’t helpless innocents whose minds are injected with atrocity propaganda, science fiction-style; they’re generally smug bourgeois proletarians who intelligently seek out as much racist propaganda as they can get their hands on. This is because it fundamentally makes them feel better about who they are and how they live. The psychic and material costs are rationally worth the benefits. -Roderic Day

    All the libs in the comments really living up to the quote.


  • Yes I the rural Chinese minority who supports the socialist state that has done the most for the working class in history (bar the USSR who broke the nazi beast) who has a Phd and 2 masters degrees is the illiterate racist class traitor as opposed to you the American child with the white saviour complex who is dogmatically anti-communist and wants to destroy China despite the will of the people. Honestly would be peak if you were a parody account. 🤣
