You think that China does not extract any economic value out of Tibet? That's pure naivete.

The victorious imperialists ALWAYS claim that their subjugation of another is to the benefit of that other nations. Always.

You don't know how to actually counter what i said because you don't really know about Tibet or the PRC, or understand that while its not yet operating under full socialism, it does have a dictatorship of the proletariat guided by a revolutionary vanguard party. Not understanding these things, yet having an opinion about the PRC is charitably naivete

lol did you copy and paste the definition of Leninism from wikipedia?

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No I'm an ML so i don't need to check a wiki, its just straight off the dome. Is it weird that a ML party governs a nation using ML concepts?

I just think it's funny that you're trying to flex your oh so superior knowledge about what's literally 101 level communism.

I'm not trying to flex. That's just the situation in the PRC that you don't seem to respect, since you view China as imperialist based on nothing

Walks like a duck, talks like a duck, swims like a duck, annexes other countries like a duck. But it insists it’s a platypus so I guess we’ll pretend it’s a mammal.

They literally freed slaves in Tibet. How is that imperialism? Was John Brown an imperialist at Harper's Ferry?
