Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!
Rules:
- Be respectful
- Don't be a nazi
- Argue about the point and not the person
- This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

Oh, you mean like this? (There are plenty of news stories about this happening, even in left-leaning publications.)
I don't get it why it's always deflect on China, Russia, and other authoritarian regimes, but attack attack attack for the US. Why is it so terrible to admit that authoritarianism is wrong, period, regardless of whether it's nominally capitalist or whether they claim to be communist?

State represssion is bad, however I live in the US, and if you live in any western country your government is far more beholden to the US war criminals than China. I prefer to focus my energy on the country supposed to be representing my interests instead doing horrible violence
Of course, China is the believable one here, right? Because normally that would be done by a consulate. And the fact that you ignore all the reporting to zero in on China's statement is, well, kind of undermining what little credibility you might have here.
It's like people claiming that they're leftists, while only attacking Dems and their policies; it's not leftism, it's covert support for fascism.
A lot of countries have like one guy doing volunteer/low pay work in some random spot in the country far from a consulate to help people with papers and so on. Its super common.
