    Ah yes, let’s just ignore the authoritarianism and fascism because it’s open source :3

      Authoritarianism isn’t a fucking thing. And China isn’t fascist in any meaningful sense of the word. Why the fuck are you carrying water for the American Empire and siding against the country that every imperialist is currently salivating over destroying?

          How is this not making the empires argument for them?

            So in order to not be carrying water for the U.S. I need to disagree with literally everything they say?

              You are a product of very effective propaganda, so effective you think you came up with those ideas on your own.

              Your words and opinions are a regurgitation of ancient red scare propaganda. They are easy to recognize when you actually learn (or really, unlearn) how language and narratives have been crafted against the left. You have no knowledge of this so you believe your language, which could be lifted from the mouth of a genocidal US general in the 60s (or a racist anarchist in the 30s!), is actually your own unique idea and not something you have absorbed from your context - your upbringing, your education, your social circle, and the media you are exposed to.

              Again, you know basically nothing here. You tacitly admit it with every obvioua fib. Just be honest and ask questions instead of trying to fight when you have tied both of your own hands behind your back.

              When you’re in hexbear you better come heavy with materialist analysis and citations or dont come at all.

              Your earlier mention about bias indicators should have come with a link at the very least.

          What do you know about the government of the PRC? Have you read about whole process people’s democracy? I’m sure you’ve investigated it thouroghly since you’re making definitive statements about it. Could you please be specific about why you don’t view the system in China as a democracy.

            No real freedom of speech.

            I could throw this same bad argument back at you about the United States.

              Freedom of speech isn’t a real thing lmao.

              The US kidnaps people and imprisons them in cruel conditions if they have soccer tattoos.

              The FBI sent letters to MLK Jr. telling him to end his own life.

              The US stole indigenous land by writing deals they would break.

              China did what? Give free education? Crush a cult (Falun Gong) lift 800 million people out of poverty as defined by the World Bank

              Freedom of speech does not exist anywhere and is an idealist myth constructed for the purpose of western imperialist chauvinism. This is why it is easy for people here to clock your liberalism.

                  No i haven’t. I’ve read about China and listened to people living in China.

                  What can’t you say in China that leads you to say there’s no free speech?

                  lmao what a coward.

                  PS the standard you are using for free speech is literally the capitalist imperialist US supreme court. You know, the one that has consistently validated slavery, genocide, mass disposession, and of course, crackdowns on left speech.

                  Why is it that you, a “leftist”, constantly appeals to imperialist liberal thought?
