Oh, gish-gallop! Throwing random bullshit at us with absolutely no sources in the hopes that it will tire us.
Assuming you mean via famine, famine in China was not deliberate, and was common pre-socialism. Socialism ended famine in China, and as a result life expectancy doubled:
There is no genocide committed by the PRC.
What exactly are you referring to here? The crackdown on the western-backed Beijing riots back in 1989?
Tibet was a torturous feudal system built on slavery, backed by the CIA to oppose the rising socialist system in China. The PLA liberated Tibet, and now quality of life for the working classes in Tibet is skyrocketing.
There is no "impending invasion of Taiwan." Taiwan is internationally recognized as a part of the PRC, and the CPC is waiting on Taiwan to willingly fully reunify with the mainland of their own volition. The US presence on Taiwan makes this difficult.
It seems most like you support feudalism, slavery, torture, and othet far-right institutions and governments. Yes, ending famine, protecting socialism, and liberating the working classes is worker democracy in practice.
If your "common sense" is "actually, feudalism and slavery is good" then you need to reconsider your "common sense."
The truth is indeed obvious, that's why you can't source any of your bullshit.
I'll tell you what. I'll source all my information in good faith, if you do first. You've made a bunch of claims I've never heard of in this comment which basically blames all of China's violence on the west.
And frankly, no. 50 million dying to famine is the singular greatest loss of life in all of human history. More than world war. To just say oh that's common is crazy. Please please tell me that was shooting from the hip and you recognize this fallacy.
I've sourced my claims thus far already and you never responded to that. Famine was common in China, and factually ended by the communists. Do you think I just drew that graph myself? You made your bullshit claims, back them up. Here are some sources for you:
Friendly Feudalism: The Tibet Myth
Taiwan: An Anti-Imperialist Resource
Tian'anmen Protests Reading List
Socialism With Chinese Characteristics: A Guide for Foreigners
Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation
Go ahead, read the sources I've linked previously and in this comment. Rethink your argument after that.
Ok. Thank you. I will do my best to do so in a timely manner.
Annnnd he didn't. How completely unsurprising.
Hey at least he came around to admitting he's an idiot who was arrogantly spouting off with literally 0 knowledge on anything.
Feel free to read through more of my comments. We truly did come to some mutual ground and will probably continue to work on it. Also 14 hours to read several research papers and respond in kind is crazy bro. I have a job and a life lol
Go for it, make sure to read with an open mind.
Lol. No you won't
