@SeaJ @TheBlue22, although there are participants from the extreme left on Lemmy.ml, it is a good site. I prefer, like anyone oriented to the left of the political spectrum with a social ethic, this field than one oriented to the extreme right and fascist, of the social networks that we all already know. You can argue with those on the left, with the fascists it's not possible, in any case, if you don't like it, just ignore or block the corresponding instance.
China apologists are scum of the earth and deserve to suffer in ""reeducation camps""
@BraBraBra, neither China nor any other country today is what should be praised as a political ideal. China is certainly a totalitarian regime, but in comparison it is no worse than the US, Russia or others where the greed and lust for personal power of an elite prevail over the common good.
Political ideology is one thing and quite another to find where it is applied and not just nominal for the public.
Yeah, this does seem like a kind of inaccurate generalization.
Does this mean you honestly wouldn't have a preference if you were dropped into a random "place" in one of these countries' societies and had to live the rest of your life there?
It's easy to say "Hey, plus a few ethnic cleansings, minus an intentional lack of economic development in favor of political corruption, plus a couple of highly extractive, insecure, and immoral sets of socio-economic conditions... and I mean we're all basically the same, amirite??"... But while each country's civil society is kinda fucked in some fundamental ways, they seem like unique ways that are hard to compare "apples to apples".
EDIT: Having said that, the issues in each country strongly depend on dividing lines between various "peoples", and a manufactured assurance that your conditions are the best that they could possibly be, so...
