Being a dictator is when you’re appointed by a democratic body and then there is a confirmation vote and the more democratic the body is and the lower the vote against confirmation the more of a dictator you are.

Maybe you should spend like literally any time at all learning about Chinese politics and system of governance because this is flatly untrue.

For your consideration: https://archive.is/RlAtG

It’s CPC and of course they are, there’s no reason to believe otherwise apart from being a dumb little racist baby who thinks only white people can do socialism properly.

Oh hey it’s you again, I think you forgot to answer me in the other thread as well: what is your solution to the Ukranian puppet government’s ongoing genoicide in the Donbas?

Few people here think that the CPC is “genuinely dedicated to communism”. It is a party with millions of members, including communists, liberals, nationalists, and others (happy to chat about the specific major factions in the party if you’re interested). Many in the party are not ardent communists, and have mediocre to poor historical and political literacy from the perspective of a lot of the Marxist nerds on here.

Some people look at the party and see “hey they’re called communists, and many of them are communists, sure as hell better than whatever is going on in the US or wherever” and kinda hop on board with some enthusiasm that way.

Right? All these fucking tankies don’t even believe that there’s a current genocide against the Mongolians

Bunch of fucking insane nutcases here

So you’re literally saying that the slavery youre referring to is… poverty alleviation???

Why don’t you just tell us then. Go ahead, educate us.

Do you have any evidence that slavery is practiced in China? What is your source (and why is it Adrian Zenz)?

You have 60 seconds to post a source

Well you clearly don’t because you are refusing to post any sources.

The fact that the Vatican operates as a massive, international pedo ring is an empirical fact. I don’t give a shit about the theology one way or another.

I’ll be reporting either way

Nooooo anything but reporting us to the mods

no, I’m pretty sure it’s against our rules not to call a provable pedophile ring for what it is. that’s not really much to do with religion, though.

Lmao criticizing the Catholic church for harboring pedophiles – a well-established fact – is in no way discrimination

this is the post that convinced me that this is a bit lol, amazing work

Its one of the foundational documents of modern Catholicism how could you not have read the part where the pope says worker unions ok, but socialism is bad?

I can’t, sorry, reddit banned me for being a little too aggressively anti Zionist

If it was up to me we wouldn’t have federated, nothing you people have to post is very interesting

Sorry buddy I know it hurts your feelings but it’s at least a little more pedophilic than some religions

Catholicsm is no more pedophilic than any other religion.

good point, in that case it is good to be catholic

You are part of a cabal of molestation. Your leaders conspire to molest children and cover it up. The church is rotten to the core. Every priest and bishop either is or is covering for a molester.

Nah it’s just that your fake blasphemy against gnosis rapes kids more than other world religions lol

I’m giving you the oportunity to pick an actual source. Pick one of those search results you like and send it to me.

Literally just linking a google search as a citation oh my god. That’s even worse than linking wikipedia

You now:

You liberals are gross

You literally one comment ago:

go jerk off to Xi Jinping’s wikifeet

Yeah we’re all libs but no where near as

All of gods creatures are beautiful you fake Christian.

You can just send me the pasta and I’ll read it and see if it makes sense from my general understanding of Marx and Engels.

The 7% statistic seems credible to me at a glance, though somewhat dated. The data are from Peking University’s 2010 China Family Panel Study, not RFA or Zenz pulling numbers out of their ass

https://docs.iza.org/dp9976.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Family_Panel_Studies

I’ll wager this statistic is declining over time, but I don’t know. I’m about to go to bed or I would do a deeper literature search.

For me the more important question is: Why? Why is China like this? Why did China liberalize under Deng? What is the worldwide political and economic context? Is child labor in China possibly a difficult problem to address, when we look at the whole situation? What measures have been taken so far? I hope you are at least wondering.

I’m no expert, but I’ll point out two things:

1 ) Not long ago, China was still dirt poor and fighting tooth and nail to industrialize and modernize as fast as possible. China’s economic power today is a fairly recent development.

2 ) China liberalized in order to survive in a hostile global economy. Liberalizing brought in a huge influx of foreign investment and industry expertise. The alternative was to be politically and economically strangled like most other socialist states have been. There’s only so much you can do with a self-contained economy in a hostile world.

Most of the time they don’t forgive debt and when they do it’s corrupt;

Almost like some kind of unfalsifiable orthodoxy is being used to make the judgement here

Most of the time they don’t forgive debt and when they do it’s corrupt [emphasis mine]; they’re trying to win them over to become satellite states one day.

What do you mean when you say their debt forgiveness is “corrupt”? And why do you believe that they want to win them over as “satellite states” and not as regular-old geopolitical allies?

Ok, they’re nicer than the west, that doesn’t mean it’s not still imperialism

What about it makes it imperialism to you? Do you see any difference at all between lending money for development projects and imperialism? How does forgiving loans facilitate economic domination of these places?

From that news.com australian article I posted: “But the concept of a Chinese “debt trap” has also been criticised, with a study in 2020 finding China had restructured or refinanced about $21 billion of debt in Africa between 2000 and 2019. The study also noted there was no evidence of “asset seizures”and that Chinese lenders had not used courts to enforce payments, or applied penalty interest rates to distressed borrowers.” For a go at economic imperialism, they don’t seem keen on putting the choke-hold on.

Should they instead be cultivating enemies that will try to destroy everything they’ve done to alleviate poverty?

So if you make your friend pay you back the $10 you lent them you’re imperialist, ok.
