If you’re gonna support all that why not just destroy the government and make a worker’s state?
I do find it kind of… evil, that a lot of people support finding ways to cross those red lines to escalate the war.
I have a problem with thinking the KMT should have been supported or that both sides were equally bad. I would have supported the CPC for the same reason I support Iran and Hamas against the US and Israel. The timeline where the anti-imperialists win is always better in the long term than when they lose.
Endlessly criticizing real world socialisms outside of the context of when it’s helpful is selection bias.
No, actually, just no, colonialist regimes and fascist regimes killed far more people consistently than even incompetent communist states. The deaths of millions every year under neocolonialist comprador governments in Africa and Asia and South America happens silently every year.
Communist dictatorship is better than a totally inhuman dictatorship of capital. I legit believe this.
Looking through the about this website rn and it’s kinda hilarious. Like the fact that liberals have to stoop to like conservapedia level websites is so funny.
This sciencepo.fr article just retells the 100 million number again.
Yeah, the KMT winning the civil war would have been considerably worse. If that had happened then China would probably look like India right now.
There would also be nothing to really oppose the US… and the USSR would have collapsed faster and West might have been able to maintain control of the region after it balkanized… and progress on climate change would be halted by oil monopolies…
Yeah, like I think part of the reason they keep bringing up Hitler is that he basically colonized Europe, while far worse things happened in colonized Africa and Asia that people don’t see as that bad.
It wasn’t as if he intentionally caused the famine.
There’s abusing someone and owning slaves vs. accidentally shooting yourself in the leg, and by “yourself” I mean the whole country that you started.
I feel like we would have heard it a billion times already if it were true, lol.
This just seems like insane orientalist black propaganda, like Mao wasn’t daoist (and this is not daoism).
This isn’t what happened as far as I can tell. He just lost ads and sponsorships after calling Mao a dictator online. Is that what “some Chinese broadcasters” is supposed to mean?
I think the response has actually been more often something like “wow, Americans and Europeans really have it that bad?”
They’re saying that (I think) the life expectation rise after the PRC was established is just coincidental with a global trend of life expectancies rising and that communism had no role in improving life expectancy.
Why the hell do deaths under communism always seem to include every person who died from any cause not from old age, while the deaths of fascism only include people who were executed?
I seriously cannot find any sources on the rape stuff aside from yours.
Okay, but if someone drew Netanyahu like a Jewish caricature, that’d be racist.
It curls like that if you cook it.
Gnosticism coded.
I mean, like you’re literally arguing for like the lib cultural revolution, and restructuring of the government, which definitely requires some sort of takeover, why shouldn’t it be working class? You’re only like 12 steps away from being a Maoist.
