Buddhist Marxist here. The dhamma isn't criminalized in Tibet or elsewhere. China has one of the strongest Buddhist monastic movements in the world, and Tibetan Buddhism is not criminalized.

The Tibetan slave-owning theocracy was as brutal as it gets: 95% of the population of tibet were slaves or feudal serfs before China liberated it in 1959. The medieval tortures the population were put through, were some of the most brutal in the modern era.

It ignores the cost of that statistic.

Totally confused by this. Why is there a "cost" in preserving the Tibetan language in Tibet?

The Dalai lama and his family refused to liberate his serfs, and fought against this movement. Even his own brother was a CIA terrorist asset. This goes along with the CIA tactic of seeking out religious reactionaries to combat communism.

Also what is with all the racist vibes-posting? Is it impossible to provide a source anymore?
