Yeah. Anyway what’s with the weird fixation this website has for china? The whole frontage is constantly spammed with memes praising the CCP.
Lemmy is developed by Marxist-Leninists, so there are a bunch of us Marxist-Leninists and other forms of anticapitalists here. MLs generally uphold the CPC and PRC as legitimate Socialism and a positive, progressive force.
Makes sense, thanks for the context. I wouldn’t exactly argue that the current Chinese administration has a lot in common with MLs ideas but let’s not open that can of worms. :)
We don't have to open it if you don't want to, but if you change your mind, I have a bunch of resources I can offer and explanations for what you think may not connect.
Well I don’t have the time right now to get into a lengthy discussion (which this would require to do it justice), but if you don’t mind you can post the resources and I’ll check them out in a bit!
Without knowing your specific critiques, I'll point you to this comment I've made regarding the CPC's strategy, as well as this introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list I made, and this Socialism with Chinese Characteristics Study Guide by Qiao Collective.
China has like all the research all the production. Its the country where progress happens irl. Where I live, regress happens irl and progress only happens in my videogames
Lmao
