Even if you also criticize the terrible crimes of the West much more harshly, China is exempt from even the lightest criticism ๐
Like, don't get me wrong, the imperialist machine is absolutely trying to tear down China through criticism among other things, but are we as Communists not allowed to discuss what we could do differently, not for the purposes of improving China, but for the purposes of honing our own goals and methods? Or is learning from the mistakes of others only allowed after Gorbachev dissolves them?
And I know what the reply is going to be, "build a successful revolution, then you can discuss what to do."
Overthrow the government and then figure out what you want to do seems like putting the cart before the horse.
Motherfucker that's not what my reply was. Don't put words in my beak
That was not aimed at you directly
