I'm critical of any government that does anything that doesn't benefit it's population. Be it Privatized health insurance or funning students over with tanks.

Afrer writing that I realize it sounds kind of sarcastic. My point is that I'm not idolizing any world leaders or politicians.

Edit: Well, I'm not sure what I was expecting.

Okay but, like, quick note, that guy in the Tiananmen square video doesn't get run over, if that's what you're referring too.

Like if you watch the whole thing it's very much a video of a tank extremely pointedly not running a guy over.

As a tankie, I'd accept getting funned over by a tank any day

The Communist Party is the best thing that ever happened to the people of China, just look at any metric for quality of life, hell look at life expectancy. They are constantly improving the lives of their people year over year, and they’ve done it without bombing or invading any other countries since 1979, also you clearly don’t have any clue what happened in Tiananmen.

Compare that to the U.S. founded on genocide and slavery and which has done nothing to benefit its own people (apart from the 1% ruling class) in decades while also violently raping and pillaging the rest of the world via invasion, bombing, coups, sanctions, blockades, embargoes, death squads, and mass murder campaigns all to enrich that 1% ruling class and dominate global geopolitics.

China has clearly a better and more legitimate government, and in the face of growing attacks against them by America going “I hate them both equally” is morally abhorrent and functionally identical to supporting the US.

I remember someone was asking for the Eugene Debs version and I don't remember were. At least both of these are in the same thread for once. niko-happy
