      It’s good for their beliefs to be challenged, even briefly, hence the importance of posting it in their nest. There’s not much point in posting it only in places where everyone agrees with you, it’ll just produce head nodding but little action and even fewer examples of how and why they are bad.

    Meanwhile in the real world, the vast majority of liberation movements are Marxists, Trotskyist or otherwise left wing. Including, you know, people like the PFLP, Myanmar’s PDF, POUM during the Spanish civil war, the Zapatistas, Sandisnistas.

    What are you actually doing for the liberation of oppressed people kther than tone policing?

      But regarding the chinese government, I’m not sure we can call it communist anymore. Authoritarian, imperialist, oppressive and bellicose are more accurate qualifiers; mainly thanks to president Xi.

    It’s always like a bucket of ice water to the face having friendly chats with people on xiaohongshu about their daily lives and then coming here and seeing a wojack meme comparing China to fucking Israel of all things lmao

    A better comparison to Israel would be the US. They’re both illegitimate settler colonial states conceived specifically as genocidal ethnostates.

    I guess this anarchist is a “tankie” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I guess Mexico is a “tankie” nation too, since they support Palestine and trade with China. Hell, almost everyone is a “tankie” unless they’re a US or Israeli nationalist.

    I’m not sure why I’m arguing with an ableist wojak-style meme lmao. I’ll just sip my coffee.
