The US coup where Victoria Nuland is recorded plotting to install the far right government that ended up being installed over the more moderate protest leaders triggered it.

Greater Satan moment

ICBM tests do fly in a very high arc though, the point is to test the range while making it clear that no one should be worried about it striking them.

That is pretty standard for missile testing?

If it is wrong when the union troops kill natives, then it has to be wrong when the natives kill settlers! /s

Please read about settler colonialism, this isn’t a symmetrical situation.

think that is an absolutely absurd rule that can only stand to benefit the far-right.

Lol no you can still call fascists fascists. We are just asking you to use more accurate language.

Hey, you don’t have to agree, you just have to follow the rules of the community.

Just as a heads up, we don’t like horseshoe theory here, which “authoritarian” falls under. Please refrain from horseshoe theory posting.

Also, factually, China isn’t a dictatorship. They follow a proletarian democratic model that is significantly distinct from bourgeois democratic models.

Your two sources are a NED funded paper and the New York crimes

Literally yes read Chinese papers. Comradely criticism is like Marxism 101

What do you think he gets wrong?

If there is one thing this Genocide on its way to Holocaust has shown us. is that the Democrat Party leadership are without a doubt sociopaths of the worst kind

Nah, they’re normal people well adjusted to an evil system. The trial of the nazis showed that it wasn’t mental illness, just normal people doing very evil things.

Would you defend german ally troops during the holocaust? No? Then maybe reflect.

I’m doing about 20 hours of work a week as part of a socialist org, in service of building up a center of power to actually be able to challenge the lesser and greater fascist.

I’m thinking long term, because I’m not satisfied with “just vote for the less fascist party every four years as each party keeps getting more fascist” If all the work you’re doing is within the confines of bourgeois sham-democracy you’ll never be able to defeat fascism. Fascism is capitalism in crisis. You can either find a magic cure to stop the contradictions of capitalism from heightening or you can move toward defeating it.

The latter is the only one that has been demonstrated to actually work.

I’m dismissing your framing; I dont live in a swing state, dont try to convince me to vote for the lesser fascist.

My question is, do you care about stopping fascism or do only you care about delaying it for another four years?

Do you care enough about stopping fascism to put in work to stop it outside of election day and trying to post your way into getting people to vote? Like, seriously, are you interested in putting in actual work to prevent fascism in the US in our lifetimes? This isn’t a gotcha I’m trying to set a baseline.

What are you doing to stop fascism outside of voting for the lesser fascist?

Fascism cannot be defeated through the ballot box. It is capitalism in decay, when capitalist democracy becomes unviable and the capitalist ruling class choose capitalism over democracy.

“What we actually are hoping for is bloodshed, the moment when the government is ready to brazenly butcher the people. Only when the Square is awash with blood will the people of China open their eyes” - Chai Ling

But they didn’t get it, so they had to exaggerate armed skirmishes into “they machinegunned sitting student protestors”

It can’t be the “Tiananmen Square Massacre” for you because then couldn’t draw in PLA members who had heart attacks and died elsewhere that day because they weren’t at the square.

You can literally find photos of protestors posing with burnt and mutilated bodies of PLA soldiers

Oh fuck he is trying to make me say “tiananmen square massacre” now Xi is going to personally come to my house and eat all my grain with his giant spoon.

Or maybe I say June 4th incident because it didn’t happen in tiananmen square and massacre isn’t the right word for it, considering it was armed PLA vs western armed protestors with around equal casualties before it ended.

The June 4th incident is what it is called in mainland China.

There are a lot of western narratives about the June 4th incident that are atrocity propaganda contradicted by western reporting at the time of the incident
