That’s why I don’t support governments or countries, I support people and anarchist liberation movements :3

Only bad dragons 😉

Exactly! I’m so tired of being accused of being a liberal and/or a fascist every single time I note that China or Russia isn’t some perfect leftist utopia, but in fact just another empire that is a pain in the ass not only to other countries but also their own citizens.

China is a fascist ethnostate, Russia is another neoliberal capitalist state, North Korea IMO cannot be described as socialist, Vietnam is pretty cool but mixed and only partially socialist, Cuba is not great tbh just in general, Venezuela is horrible, the Nordic states are just Social Democrat states, Israel has multiple worker co-ops but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re still a genocidal ethnostate, that just about covers all the tankie countries.

Russia has long reached the end state of neoliberal capitalism, fascism. The US is currently transitioning.

Israel is a tankie country now? Don’t they support Palestine? Let’s not rob tankies of their only correct opinion!

Kinda how they believe Chinas genocide is justified Tankies have no real problem with genocide

I haven’t seen a single Marxist in favor of Israel, though, you’re just inventing people at this point. Unless you’re trying to describe entirely different groups under the same general umbrella, but that confuses the convesation.

I’m using the term “tankie” to describe fake leftists, Israel has a lot of fake leftists and so called “Labor-Zionists”

If you think China is fascist, you’re brainwashed. There isnt another explanation for thinking the most democratic nation currently on the planet is fascist.

China perfectly fits the definition of a fascist ethnostate. Their economy is indirectly managed by the government while having capitalist elements (state control is the only “socialist” elements), they enforce a language, one ethnicity is clearly depicted as the “true Chinese ethnicity” (despite China having many), censorship is rampant, they’re committing a genocide, and at the end of the day THEY’RE NOT EVEN SOCIALIST.

It’s amazing how you neolibs expose yourselves. You sure you wouldn’t be more comfortable on reddit little buddy?

I’m an Anarcho-Sydicalist -_-

the most democratic nation currently on the planet

Sorry, but I didn’t see anyone mention Denmark or Norway anywhere in this thread.

I mentioned the Nordic states, they’re ok as far as neoliberal western states go (not very)

Oh, so you did! I missed that.

I’ll just say, having lived in Vietnam for quite some time, it certainly is a much better country than China, but describing it as “mixed” and “partially socialist” understates its issues. Corruption is rampant and open, and is the way of things in both the private and public sectors.

As just one example, the Saigon Metro project began construction not long before I stopped living there in 2012, and was scheduled to finish in 2018. Rampant corruption with that project has meant multiple times it’s just stalled with seemingly no progress made for years, and the Japanese construction company hired to do some of the work threatened to pull out over cost overruns caused by the corruption. It’s a lovely country in so many ways, and its government is so much better than those that tankies usually love to praise in terms of the degrees of gross authoritarian bs, but it’s got a long it could improve in many regards.

Why would anyone mention racist petrocountries that are essentially Saudi Arabia but white?

Sorry, I thought we were talking about democratic countries. Didn’t realise it was “make up whatever shit makes you feel good” time.

Sure. Except if you allow those in power to define the meaning of demos, every single country that ever existed - including Nazi Germany - was democratic. As a result, the term democratic becomes tautological in that it is always true regardless of the system involved.

So yes, your statement that China is a nation is true.

Democratic countries don’t silence people for outing criticism.

You must be sarcastic, otherwise your comment just doesn’t make any sense.

Good thing China doesn’t either.

How are you so sure? How do you see beyond western and Chinese propaganda and get to a semblance of truth? Genuine question.

The chinese web novel reverand insanity literally got banned for criticizing china. The guy who wrote it can’t write it anymore and you can’t even pirate the novel in china. cuz its been deleted off the chinese internet.

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.

Rule: You must post before you leave.
