And that's the level of argument people get from terminally online LARPers who have never touched organization in real life. I see.

Usually if I get something fun in return like stickers or merch in general. That makes me show off the project to others in my real life and it's a fun satisfying way to support the team.

No, but the NEP was the reactionary reintroduction of capitalist production to the Soviet Union, directly leading to the bureaucratic takeover of the state by the interests of that new industrial elite with the face of Stalin. As always, superstructure determined by the foundation.
Can't really blame Lenin though, as the USSR's productive forces clearly were not advanced enough to build socialism at the time. Anyone would have done the same optimistically.

Ah yes, I am applying the classic reactionary strategy of promoting the class struggle and explaining the basic relation of superstructure and relations of production.
Jesus fucking Christ, revisionists are clearly something else.

That's the pre-revolution strategy...

Go ahead and throw Marxist theory out of the window arguing on the internet but in the mean time actual real-life organized socialists will keep the class struggle on the forefront of their priorities.
How any self-proclaimed Marxists can take seriously the socdem idea that the state has the capability to control and punish their domestic capitalists if it's just smart enough, and call that communist, is beyond me. The superstructure is a result of the productive relations, not the other way 'round. People who actually read and understand Marxist theory and have read more than the glorified quote book will know that like the back of their hand.
While you keep keyboard warrioring for the CCP online, real life Maoists and anti-revisionists are being imprisoned and oppressed by the bureaucratic traitors of Dengist descent.
I don't want to flaunt around any credentials as this is the internet and anyone can lie, but let me tell you that actual, real-life internationally organized communists find CCP apologism more than ridiculous. This Dengism defense is an internet phenomenon of Western middle class people radicalized via memes, not any ideology taken seriously by the working class.
And who ever mentioned the KMT?
And you recommending a random YouTube channel called Epic China as a credible source on Chinese politics speaks for itself, I think.

Let me preface this that I am not pro-CCP, but I am anti-imperialist and obviously anti-this thinly veiled regime change strategy of the US.
The most convincing argument towards the Uyghur/Xinjiang situation is that there simply has never been any evidence that is not directly connected to the CIA, some organized neo-nazi or fanatical anticommunist cult, or either of their front organizations. Really. Zero.

And you can play that game yourself: go ahead and find any claim to evidence about it and look into the sources, you will always find some link to Radio Free Asia (former Radio Freedom from Bolshevism), the Falun Gong (Chinese Scientology-ish cult who teach race science), islamists, or the CIA's Freedom Fund or various front organizations.
This isn't even disregarding all non-communist evidence as reactionary (something commonly said about us), but this is only counting actual fascists and fanatical anticommunists like Zenz, and the CIA which has a looong history with faking this shit. Remember Iraq/Iran?
The more important point in this entire debate is that clearly there is a level of alienation between the Chinese people and its official government. The PRC is not a socialist country, but instead a capitalist country led by a clique of those who idealistically believe they can control their local capitalists and harness their advancements of the productive forces, as if the state was superior to the ownership models of production. The current leadership is the ideological descent of those who ousted actual communists from the PRC during the anti-Mao coup and have been oppressing them and democraticazion efforts (in a socialist sense) for decades. Many Tiananmen Square protesters were socialists.
Either way, this does not mean one should report anything the imperialist West spouts about China uncritically. This is a classic inter-imperialist conflict like in Leninist literature, and the global working class should fight for neither side but its own. In times of dawning war, that side is taking a stance against disinformation and warmongering like the campaign against China.
