material conditions don’t matter
I am a communist
Marxism-leninism has routinely been shown to not work.
I do not argue for capitalism, I agree with Stalin
I’m racist
classic tankie argument
it doesn’t matter what liberals were 100 years ago
we agree with liberals
liberals are just more mild versions of communists
deeply unserious, incoherent
Homie tried to say it didn't matter that Chinese people's quality of life improved if they don't have "information contrary to the state" boy fuck outta here 💀 bring more badges next time you wanna battle
Picturing Xi sneaking into an Uyghur village and running a back-alley black market. He opens up his coat, but instead of Rolexes it's strips of bacon.
Don't forget a phalanx of PLA support armed with Salad Shooters.
Zero to BLT in 1.79 seconds.
This was one of our most fun libs in a while, they decided halfway through that they were a communist despite clearly barely even skimming the communist manifesto (let alone any other works of theory).
"Liberals are more mild communists" new site tagline please
This is why you read the books 🗣️
Thoughts on the "genocide can be committed without killing anyone" line of thinking? I think hypothetically this is possible if you magically delete the balls and wombs of a whole people in an instant but in practice it just sounds absurd.
Forced sterilization is a form of genocide as well, and not an uncommon one, I believed it happened a lot to native Americans in residential schools.
Well yes. But this and the extermination of buffaloes as the other user pointed out were supplemental to a wide gamut atrocities one of which was straight up cold blooded murder of the indigenous people.
The reason I ask in this context is that famously there is not one confirmed dead person in this purported Uyghur genocide. All we have are extremely dubious "missing" people from the West-run Uyghur Victim Database which was found to have some AI generated pictures in it.
So yes theoretically I acknowledge that you could kill a people without killing individuals directly. But reality is different. There are certain factors like resistance effort from victims of genocide leading to deaths and often the callous barbarity of the genociders that make such a "clean" genocide with no spilt blood impossible.
It’s tricky, because there are definitely ways to erase a culture/civilization without mass killing. Combinations of displacement, the sterilization and resource disruption others mentioned, cultural suppression. Although obviously there’s a lot of gray area, especially with the cultural suppression aspect.
However, there’s a difference between the sort of exacting, navel gazing definition we can come up with, and what the immediate reaction/assumption of the average person is when they hear, there’s a genocide going on over there. Which is to say, they think of the Shoah, genocide means concentration camps with gas chambers. So there’s a problem where, coming up with a broader definition on paper won’t change the reality that it will misrepresent what’s going on to the public.
I think what we've done around the world with depleted uranium and agent orange probably qualifies at least as an act of genocide. Literally fucking with people's genes, geno-cide
I was actually thinking about this yesterday. The suffering that Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia have gone through for trying to decide their own destinies is heartbreaking. And they continue to quietly persevere past that.
Ah yes the guy who quoted one sentence of Marx but didn't even understood half the words in it.
