Okay I've just wasted about 30 minutes of my life reading someone unironically defend "Democratic dictatorships" with nothing substantial, just empty rhetoric and blind praise. And happily pushes the most abhorrent and blatant totalitarian propaganda such as
Like yes, we're a democracy for the people (the people are the partisans that agree with me, democracy is not for anyone else )
Only for the author to barely even touch on the issue of China not actually being communist.
Is pretty much all he says in regards to the economics of China, so he doesn't even say he agrees with one side or another and even if he did the other side is "well China isn't 100% capitalist" not "China is socialist"
Like I'm sure you'll claim I just didn't understand what was really being said or how a totalitarian leader that openly arrests anyone that challenges him politically is actually Democratic, just a different kind of special Chinese democracy. Or whatever. But all you've done by getting me to read this is to hats China more.
I'm sorry but you're not very smart. You just don't know what the words you are using actually mean
Yeah I figured you lot would give a dismissive response like this. It's the standard dumbass talkie tactic after quoting some tangentially related political literature that is just blatsnt propaganda, in the hopes your opponent is too lazy to read it, but they actually do and can call you out on your bullshit.
It's scary how similar you guys are to the alt right.
😂 waah muh horseshoe theory 🤓 waah
Read Karl Marx read Lenin you wannabe intellectual. And if you're too lazy then watch a vid by Hakim. It's not our job to lecture you. You're not special. If you don't want to learn then you will be made fun accordingly.
Not even saying horseshoe theory really. Just you use the same tactics to push your bullshit.
I have read marx and Lenin, and Trotsky, Engels, even Mao. I'm an active member of my cities socialist community, we read a lot of communist literature when we're not campaigning or protesting.
Supporting dictators that are awful people that don't care about any sort of equality or betterment of the proletariat and run countries with capitalist systems (I know you lot say you believe in scc, but I fully believe everyone knows that's bullshit.) Doesn't make you a communist, it makes you a cunt.
Now if I were to get into hotshot theory I would be comparing the awful things China does with the things fascist states do and asking you what the difference is? Like if Mussolini had just called it "socialism with Italian Charecteristics" would you be fawning over him like you do for Xi?
