China isn’t Maoist. It’d be a lot cooler if it were though.

I wish, the US directly aided in the ethnic cleansing of my bengali homeland in Operation Searchlight which caused my family to have to move to the very same US to be working class poor for decades (and suffer islamophobia post 9/11 with actual genocide in the Iraq war): also Isnotreal.

The US set the bar so low it's a balance beam in hell.
