No? Socialist governments uplift the working classes, they are definitely positive.
Bad for who? Criminals?
all anarchists are incoherent
Socialist countries like China, Cuba, etc. can be.
Increasing life expectancy ??? ??? Yankee attack Slave liberation Slaver oppression Anti-yankee-terror campaign Adrian Zenz ??? Outlawing of dangerous cia-backed cult Increasing life expectancy British colonist whining ??? ??? Projection
Now try this for usa&lackeys: genocide in america, genocide in palestine
Counter those, I dare you
This is just gish-gallop.
Xinjiang
Uyghurs are not being tortured and killed.
The best and most comprehensive resource I have seen so far is Qiao Collective's Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation. Qiao Collective is explicitly pro-PRC, but this is an extremely comprehensive write-up of the entire background of the events, the timeline of reports, and real and fake claims.
I also recommend reading the UN report and China's response to it. These are the most relevant accusations and responses without delving into straight up fantasy like Adrian Zenz, professional propagandist for the Victims of Communism Foundation, does.
Tourists do go to Xinjiang all the time, yes. You can watch videos like this one on YouTube, though it obviously isn't going to be a comprehensive view of a complex situation like this.
Tibet
Tibet was a feudal slave society backed by the CIA. The PLA liberated Tibet. Friendly Feudalism: The Tibet Myth:

China successfully doubled life expectancy and rapidly developed.
Falun Gong
As for the Falun Gong, they are a cult akin to Scientology, not an ethnicity, and the PRC isn't killing them en masse, just repressing it as an anti-communist and western-funded cult. Same as the idea of Uyghur genocide, atrocity propaganda akin to claiming that there's "white genocide" in South Africa, Christian genocide in Nigeria, or that Hamas sexually assaulted babies in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
A hospital supposedly claimed to be for "organ harvesting" with 6000 Falun Gong members was visited by US officials, finding it to be a regular hospital, and this document leaked by Wikileaks and intentionally hidden by the US gov
The claims all come from the self-appointed "China Tribunal," run by a British barrister that has historically prosecuted socialist countries
The sources for the claims are the Falun Gong itself, akin to saying Scientologists reporting on far-right conspiracy theories are trustworthy
The Falun Gong claims "race-mixing severs connection to the gods"
The Falun Gong believes modern science was created by aliens to take over human bodies
Tian'anmen
Of the few hundred people that died in the riots and fighting, the square was dispersed peacefully. The truth about Tian'anmen is that hundreds of protestors and PLA officers were killed in Beijing that day as the PLA advanced towards the square, but that the square itself was evacuated peacefully, which matches leaked US cables and the CPC's official stance on what it calls the "June 4th incident". This is a rejection of the commonly reported story of 10,000 people being killed on the square itself, which originated from a British diplomat's cable. Said diplomat was later confirmed to have evacuated well before.
Western nations intentionally sensationalize the quantity of deaths and the character of the events. This is also why Western Nations don't frequently report on the South Korean Gwang-Ju massacre that occured around the same era, where the South Korean millitary murdered thousands of High School and College students protesting against Chun Do-Hwan's dictatorship. All of what I said is backed up by the Wikipedia page for Tian'anmen Square Protests and Massacre, such as Alan Donald revising his estimate from 10,000 to the low thousands yet BBC continuing to report the 10,000 figure:
Is Wikipedia too revisionist for you?
Pulled straight from Wikipedia. The Communists were right all along, turns out.
Hardly any historians believe there was a massacre on the square, especially not after the US cables were leaked and confirmed China's official reporting as accurate. Hundreds died that day in riots around Beijing, from PLA officers firebombed to rioters killed by the PLA, but the square itself was evacuated bloodlessly. It's also extremely chauvanist of you to claim western historians are "all historians around the world," erasing Chinese historians themselves.
No, erasing Chinese historians. Not all people of China are members of the CPC.

Lol go back to reddit
Yeah, cry about it
Lol you wish
Least obnoxious redditer
You must be joking. The great leap forward?
More like the great leap upward
Where do I start?
Capitalist regimes benefit the capitalist class. Socialist regimes benefit the proletarian class. Monarchies sometimes benefit the people because they focus on suitability. Dictatorships benefit their people by only representing the best of society. Democracies sometimes benefit society by challenging the will of the most productive. Anarchies also sometimes benefit because they provide a lot of civil liberties. Egypt is not the only source of Gold. Anarchy is not the only decent system.
