Struggle session engage. Post your pathetic arguments so that I and the other China Good Posters can dismantle them and you can learn.

Key points:

  • China is a democracy. It is arguably the most functional and responsive democracy in a major country today. Its citizens consider it more democratic than the citizens of almost any other country do their own.

  • China is on a clear path to socialism and economic justice. No nation in history has ever reduced poverty in anything like the way China is doing it.

  • The vast majority of people in the PRC support the CPC. This is not due to being brainwashed. Americans are brainwashed and still hate their government.

  • Almost everything you hear about China in the West sits on a spectrum between malicious misrepresentation to outright fabrication with no basis in reality.

  • China’s ascension to the premiere global power is an extremely good thing for world peace and the global socialist movement. While China does not actively support other socialisms (sadly it’s not as good as the USSR in this regard) it does not do imperialism. China will allow socialisms around the world to flourish simply by not actively crushing them like the US and Europe.

    Three points.

    1. Any imperialist designs on China has to be fought tooth and nail.
    2. China is doing several things well, and worth emulating, like state’s role in economic planning.
    3. However, I don’t subscribe to all the values of CPC. I admire many things, and I am on reddit forums daily debating the libs on all demonisation of China. But I can’t just offer uncritical support to CPC, because I disagree with some of their values.

      There’s no such thing as uncritical support, if you uncritically support anything you are a cultist.

      I don’t subscribe to all the values of the CCP either but I recognize that many of them reflect the values of Chinese people and are necessary to enjoy the support of the masses. That doesn’t mean we have to agree with those values but they need to be viewed in that light, as observers we’re unencumbered by the necessities of statecraft
