It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

What? He's known for having been a quiet, bookish nerd for most of his life and has literally written and published volumes of theory.

"The perfidious asiatic communists are just lying and don't have beliefs and only do good things for the public for greedy, power hungry reasons and nothing else," is the usual anticommunist smear, not "these nerds who talk about theory all the time don't know as much about theory as I, a nepobaby writing for the wall street journal, do!"

It's the first racist argument just dressed up with a fancy moustache and monocle

Besides the Governance of China, what theory has he written? Given his major role in improving China, he seems like a good choice for checking out contemporary Marxist theory.
