  • The first appearance of the meme is one with Barack Obama. Can you please remind us to what character he was compared to, that has a phonetically similar name to a racial slur? Do you deny that the yellow skin color is not a sinophobic trope?

    Not sure what you see when the Winnie xi meme gets postet, but I hardly ever see substantiative critique of power, but a endless redditism of how the Chinese are inferior and OP usually staying silent on the sinophobia in the comment section.

    It’s a sinophobic dogwhistle.





  • Any type of media reporting (even 3rd party) comes with inherent bias. Assuming it doesn’t and is therefore more trustworthy, is a logical fallacy. You corroborate stories by reading from all sides. Just because a piece of info comes from a state actor doesn’t make it less trustworthy, only it’s bias is more apparent. Propaganda isn’t effective if it doesn’t contain truths.

    Basically you’re arguing here that this didn’t happen and imply western media and western information agencies wouldn’t debunk the story outright if they could



  • I don’t think that’s the issue here, no, at least from what I can understand but I admit I am kinda confused about what you’re asking me here.

    The liberal (or Western) view often posits a universal, procedural democracy (multi-party elections, civil liberties, etc.) as intrinsically good, and any concentrated state power as intrinsically suspicious( “dichotomy between democracy vs. authority.”) But Marxism-Leninism rejects this as an idealist and ahistorical abstraction. In any class society, the state is not a neutral arbiter; it is a dictatorship of a class an instrument of rule and authority by that class over others.

    Liberals see authority itself as the problem. Marxists-Leninists see class-based authority as the problem esspecialy, authority by the exploiting class. We argue that the liberal dichotomy hides the reality: capitalism already has immense, unaccountable authority (over workers, colonized peoples, the unemployed, the indebted). The question is not “democracy or authority” but which class holds democracy for itself and which class wields authority against which other class.


  • You are relentlessly behaving in a very chauvinistic and reactionary way.

    No U

    I don’t need to agree with every word Engels wrote to be a communist. Marx, Engels, et al. aren’t prophets sharing mystical secrets from on high.

    No of course you don’t have to. At least have the decency to not misrepresent it.

    You should not treat theory as your bible.

    You should not view yourself as the next coming of Christ that is here to be a prophet on how to achieve a state and classless society when you haven’t done your homework but still would like to talk to those that have
