Anarcho communists welcome you. We hate all nation states equally. Unfortunately there aren't enough of us to brigade anything.

here’s the neat part: anyone who unironically thinks china or russia are communist is a dumbass and can be ignored or is trolling.

Some of us are just tired of western people not wanting to get a little nuance about none western countries. And the instance you admit that ofcourse no place is perfect you get hit with. "See x is bad, communism can't work in reality." It is tiresome and eventually I end up defaulting to standard answers or blocking people if they are rude.

On top of that I do think it is amazing how for instance India, China and Vietnam has improved the lives of billions, but every single time it hit western news it is followed by "but at what price".

And finally I have realized that things are not always as they seem and the propaganda machine makes it hard to discern the reality of many things. This goes for everything. I have no clue if it actually is dangerous to go USA or it just seem that way.

I'm fine with someone having a negative opinion of China so long as they don't use that as a purity test and demand everyone else denounce China, calling people "fascists" or "tankies" and refusing to work with them otherwise.

Obviously, the vast majority of people on here don't live in China, and we generally have bigger fish to fry domestically to worry about meddling in their affairs. I would turn the question around and ask why people are so invested in making sure everyone sufficiently condemns China instead of working together to address the more pressing matter of class conflict.

If they didn’t brigade those issues so much, straight up ban people, just because they disagree, or hlrefuse to have any real discussion that doesn’t center on just shutting other people down, then maybe people outside their group might take them more seriously.

This is exactly how I feel about a lot of anti-China spaces. It's difficult to have a real discussion about almost any topic related to China because if you suggest that anything about them isn't the worst thing ever you get accused of being a fascist and dismissed, if not banned. If .ml goes too far in the other direction, then it is at least somewhat unique in doing so, and it's worthwhile to have a space where non-mainstream perspectives can be discussed.

And liberalism only survives in people that are fundamentally incurious about the conditions under which the goods and services they use are manufactured or arise.

everyone is doing it wrong except you.

Log off and start a 5th international but correct this time.

Unfortunately we're at the screaming at each other over precisely how to realise a stateless, monieless, classless society stage.

Although we do get to enjoy devouring the occasional lib that stumbles in.

The Americans?

take memes seriously and fight with strangers on the internet^[the Buddha or something]
