    This weird equivalence some people draw between liking/agreeing with a significant amount of ML work and defending everything the Soviet Union and CCP have ever done…it’s really weird

      Maybe they know something we don’t.

      EDIT: JSYK, it’s CPC. CCP is the intentionally wrong abbreviation that nazi propagandists use and I don’t think that’s what you intended.

        The Chinese Communist Party (CCP),[3] officially the Communist Party of China (CPC),[4] is the founding and sole ruling party of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). - Wikipedia

        No, it’s CCP. I don’t call Nazis by what they choose to be called so i will also not do that for the CCP

            No, but i will not call the CCP what they want to be called. The commies caused china to be what it is. Just because they are auth now doesnt change my hatred for the governing body.

              Apologies I misread your comment and thought you were saying the CCP were Nazi’s.

              Since you mentioned it, i have to ask what’s so bad about China now?

              Not a big fan of any nation state myself as an anarchist but want to know specifically what you’d consider bad that couldn’t be applied to the US or other western nations.

                I can tell you what i very very dislike.
                I very very dislike the censorship and subsequent propaganda the governing body spits out every time disaster strikes.
                Flooding of huge swaths of land? Better post some fake helpers moving one bag of sand with 50 people on douyin.
                Tofu Dreg Highrise collapse and people lost their homes? Eh, not my problem. post some fake helpers moving one bag of sand with 50 people on douyin.

                96 percent of all citizens earn less than 5 dollars a day? Better spread the big news that we “lifted millions of people out of poverty” everywhere on the internet. Nobody will look up any of the figures and see that people living in the countryside still cannot afford to live normal lives in their home country because they barely make 3 dollars a day.

                I can go on.
                The worst i hear from the US is that Ohio and Jackson have no clean drinking water.

                Ohio because of a train derailment that was directly caused by political incompetence and jackson because of old laws.
                But on the US this isnt censored. All news station reported on it. Nobody went to jail for posting tiktoks about it.

                The US doesn’t send students abroad to intimidate other american students who dare say anything against the republicans.

                    Nice whataboutism. Did you know that a real counterargument wouldn’t be something that China also does?
                    Also funny that you’re only really trying to devalue one of the many things i’ve said but have nothing else to say.

                    Which country that spoke bad about the US did the US bomb?

        I dont think its inately a nazi thing, CCP works better as a shorthand in english than CPC. Plus is there really much of a difference between calling them the Communist party of China or the Chinese Communist party. Usually in these circumstances the shorter option wins. Plus is there even a difference in Chinese? Like I know its a lot looser with this type of shit.
