I don't care if they are against capitalism, I'm not simping for authoritarians.
What's an authoritarian?
Define authoritarian. The PRC spent decades of anti-colonial struggle defeating British imperialists, Japanese imperialists, feudal reactionaries, and then US imperialists. Do you know more than them about how to defeat vicious empires, "non-authoritarianly"?
they should've just prayed and cattered to the imperialists like India.
As malcolm x once said "The West doesn't not have any love for China but it respects it, while they love India but they do not respect it."
These very same jerks would love China if it was just another uwu Japan/SKorea hosting US troops.
Lol America, land of the free, they literally arrested anyone who said they were a communist and confiscated your gold because they said it was illegal.
Yet China is frowned upon.
Thought terminating cliche used by the unintelligent and uninformed to avoid reckoning with reality beyond vibes.
"Simping" here meaning "viewing with anything less than total antipathy"
The working classes use state authority for pro-social policy and to prebent capitalists from gaining political power, as opposed to capitalist authority for pro-profit policy and to prevent the working classes from gaining political power. Authority has a class dynamic, analysis without class erases the core distinction.
Because America are the thoughtful, non violent democrats, who represent the people, and never start illegal wars?
Aah yes unlike never authoritarian capitalist governments that totally don't break in your house to throw you in the cold bitter streets to die because you couldn't afford rent and made the property "unprofitable". The West has no right lecturing anyone over human rights and liberty, they could just discard them from their dictionary if only it didn't serve as great propaganda against their class enemies.
