If China is a democracy, what opposition parties and media not related to government are in there?
“If China is a democracy, why isn’t there the constant threat of a far right party destroying the economy and all social welfare, and why don’t they have tabloids propagating fake news?”
You’ve literally seen the televised collusion of all western media and parties defending the Isntreali genocide in Palestine and denying reality, and you still believe we have independent media and politicians
Everything you consume is propaganda and has an agenda, you just see this as propaganda because it counters the propaganda that’s already internalized and invisible to you
That’s by definition of propaganda, though? The word “propaganda” doesn’t imply “false”, it just implies that it’s propagated with a political goal in mind
From a Marxist-Leninist: there are some Marxist authors contesting the emphasis on the “dialectics” part of dialectical materialism. Paul Cockshott is a good example, you can search for Cockshott’s criticism of dialectical materialism, maybe if the concepts don’t stick to you you could have a more Newtonian materialist view
Counterpoint, you can understand the core points of socialism very quickly
Disagree. We have been subjected to 100 years of anticommunist propaganda, you need a lot of study of theory and history to overcome that
Wonderful job, I think that’s telltale sign that you’re a wonderful parent
Have you gone through the posted link? It explicitly explains that that’s not the case, that there are also issues like inter-brand variability and clothes being made to fit the 12% of women who genetically happen to have an hourglass figure.
I do respect and appreciate veterans for what they’ve done
WW2 veterans like, sure, but what other US veterans do tou respect for what they’ve done?
As in I live in Spain so we literally share the language, I proposed to try and contact them and they outright refused
Literally left my org because they refused to establish contact with the communist party of Cuba :(
Seen my fair share of anticommunist libs in db0, but I couldn’t point to any examples of overt neonaziism. Can you elaborate?
Yeah, you’re right, but piefed users are also malding in the original post.
I wouldn’t be surprised, but I’ll judge them for what I know they are: a Zionist-welcoming instance.
Hehehe NGL I love seeing the zios mald, that’s one of the reasons why I made this alt
No, nominal western liberal democracy pretends to have that checklist (I could go into details on how there’s none of that in the West). functional democracy means that, regardless of the mechanisms, the results are what people want. In this way, China is a lot more democratic functionally than what we have in the west by all polls of satisfaction with policy.
Turns out that when you have a powerful minority capitalist class with diametrically opposed interests to those of the majority, the majority of policy is passed against our interests!
