    It’s OK to distrust more than one Government, but how anyone can believe the the west in this matter is beyond me.

    The west has repeatedly coup’d, invaded, destroyed, killed, bombed, sanctioned everyone that dares look at them wrong. But sure, daddy west is completely right when it comes to China.

    Hong Kong Democracy Movement

    Democracy is when you have west funded protests trying to do a color revolution. Sure.

    Do you not remember Tianamen Square?

    Oh, one of the biggest propaganda lies the west ever made about China? Have you actually watched the tank man video? How about the evidence of the contrary to the so called “massacre on Tiananmen square”.

    Great Fire-Wall?

    Oh no, China doesn’t allow the west to propagandize to it’s citizens, while simultaneously propping it’s own national platforms, the horror!!!11!!1!

    Also, let’s just ignore how the Arab League literally investigated the so called “Xinjiang genocide”, and found nothing.

    But sure, Adrian Zenz is right, lmao.






  • That’s just a surface level analysis. The moment LGBT people started being accepted, not because of people’s benevolence but because of much fighting and struggle to be accepted and recognized, capitalism realized that we could be marketed to, that we were just another profit source, so it started reacting accordingly, that’s why terms like Rainbow Capitalism exists.

    You can easily see this every pride month were companies will change their logos to pride themed ones, unless it’s in a country where being LGBT is illegal. We are only a concern as long as we are profitable.

    Furthermore it is not that companies are inherently right wing, but rather that they are a part of capitalism which is in itself a right wing system.










  • I totally get that distrust because I used to think like that too.

    The problem with this line of thinking is that, in my case at least, it came from a misunderstanding of how governments/states actually work due to intense propaganda, specially by right winger politicians that keep pushing this type narrative. Different types of states function differently.

    All these issues you list are deeply linked with whose class controls the state, it’s not an issue with the state itself.

    then the state can silence anyone they disagree with by labeling them as part of the bourgeoisie

    That would be extremely hard to do. Being part of the bourgeoisie is a material condition, so unless you tick all the boxes that makes you part of it, there’s no conceivable way to simply label someone that in a socialist society just because. Furthermore, socialist societies have mechanisms of true popular democracy in place so people have a much bigger participation in politics, if such a problem would arise, people could do something about it, which goes in complete contrast to what happens in capitalist countries like the USA where, like you mentioned, you can simply be labeled an antisemite for protesting against the genocidal entity of Israel, can then be beat by the police for protesting the genocide and even sent to prison.

    The thing here is that we need to look at how this is happening in real life right now. Are socialist states (Cuba, China, Laos, Vietnam, DPRK) doing that? As far as I know, no. Are capitalist ones doing that? Yes. So that in itself already suggests something is different in these states.

    In fact, the reason why in the west you get labeled antisemitic for protesting against the genocide is directly linked with the bourgeoisie since it is in their interest that Israel continue existing. Biden himself admitted back in 1986 that the existence of Israel furthers US’s interests in the region. So showing solidarity with Palestine goes directly against the US’s bourgeoisie interests. That’s why you’re attacked by the state for that.


  • Then you’re lacking class consciousness. Every state serves a class over another. In capitalist societies, it’s the bourgeoisie over the proletariat. In a socialist society it’s the opposite.

    You can easily observe this in how basically all of western media is owned by a few companies that dictate what information gets to you.

    Furthermore, not everyone deserves freedom of speech. Nazis should have 0 right to that.
