US imperialism isn’t a counter to Russian imperialism. Ukrainians will lose while Russia carves out land concessions and the US secures its mineral rights

You’re not wrong there though, just not in the way you expect. Also Israel is admittedly on another level when it comes to genocidal brutality that even my tankie ass thinks Ukraine and ROC can only dream of

Anonymous _orangutan 7w

yes because the present US government is on Russia’s side. supporting Ukraine is not “US imperialism”, ukraine does not want to be part of Russia, helping them not become part of Russia is objectively good. we literally signed a deal with Ukraine and Russia saying we’d defend them in exchange for nuclear disarmament.

Yes, china wants to invade and conquer

yeah, China is a brutal capitalist dictatorship that wants to subject taiwan to that same dictatorship, just like they have to Hong Kong. being able to like… criticize the government and not get disappeared is pretty good i think.

I mean if the opposing side of the civil war fled to an island and kept claiming the entire island place? I wouldn’t have let them get away with it personally but I’m not against China finishing up the job long overdue from the 50s

You do realize Hong Kong was ruled by Britian until 1997? That’s not exactly ideal

So you’re saying “if I were a brutal oppressive government I’d conquer more”, but not saying why they “deserve” it?

British rule of HK was genuinely preferable, because the people of HK had developed a distinct identity and wanted democracy and such. That’s why there were gigantic protests when China broke the terms of the deal for returning Hong Kong. Of course now anyone who doesn’t bend over for the CPC just gets kidnapped and murdered.

yes it was. so was / is the CPC. for fucks sake the CPC’s crimes are overstated by the west but they did killing millions of Chinese people through both incompetence and persecution. the cultural revolution was seriously bad.

Okay sure there were issues with the cultural revolution and Great Leap Forward, but they learned their lesson and nothing like that has happened since. Meanwhile here we can barely decide how many civil rights brown people can have

were school teachers and scientists and the like warlords? for fucks sake the red guards were fighting a civil war amongst them selves and having children literally cook and eat their teachers in Guangxi. it was an unmitigated shitshow.

well yes, china immediately embraced capitalism afterwards. i’m not a maoist, i think he was a good revolutionary leader and a pretty poor peacetime one, but Deng Xiaoping was absolutely a revisionist

The schoolteachers who indoctrinated the youth with the idea that the warlords were somehow glorious or honorable were in fact also doing their work, yes

Anonymous cheese_of_the_world_unite 7w

you think all schoolteachers and intellectuals were pro-warlords? like you do realize that millions of people were blanket proscribed as members of “enemy” groups based on occupation, family etc. right? a hot take but maybe embracing youthful vigilantism and essentially encouraging violent infighting (as opposed to via ideas) isn’t a productive way to rebuild your country after decades of brutal warfare and a horrific invasion.

Well it’s a good thing they didn’t go after every single schoolteacher or intellectual

Anonymous cheese_of_the_world_unite 7w

intellectuals were literally as a group designated the 9th of the “black categories”. many persecutions were simply a means for ambitious party members to get rid of others they disliked or whose positions they coveted and the like. cults of personality are also reactionary.

I can’t believe we have tankies defending cultural revolution purges now. Rejecting American propaganda doesn’t mean falling face first into Chinese narratives.

The world’s current imperial power is the USA (which also is the only country I can do anything about) that’s why my view of empire is America centric. Israel is worse than the other two ofc but the other two just serve as attack dogs for American imperial ambitions.

yes because the people in Hong Kong certainly preferred it. if the choice is between self government under the UK or a brutal authoritarian crackdown by the CPC the choice is clear. living under liberal democracy is preferable to state capitalism
