  • The problem with China is all of the fundamental lies that conflict each other. It’s communist but also the most capitalist, it’s free and citizen focused but also you have to sacrifice all of your rights and no complaining, it’s unified but also you can’t leave your province.

    It’s a generic authoritarian playbook that somehow tricked a bunch of people with red flags and prettu uniforms as if it’s something more than that.

    For me the litmus test is always freedom of information. No country is “for the people” while keeping people purposefully in the dark. Either it’s a lie or extreme incompetence - neither should be taken as anything other but that.

    Man could you be more spineless and subservient or are you a bot? Central government says it’s time to abandon your local culture for “great unity” and you bend over and take it. You don’t see a problem here? Maybe it’s good you guys are contained in your basement dwelling .ml just stay there and never leave please

    It’s a pretty big meme amongst people who actually experience horrors of communism that prominent tankies are as far removed from real communism as possible e.g. mom’s basement in an extremely privileged west europe/us doing nothing but armchair analysis without actually contributing anything else.
