It’s not about the IDEA of communism its the implementation
Let’s see what this person’s sources for how socialist implementation looked like:
Read the gulhag archipeligo
Lmfao, a fucking fiction book written by a fringe fascist-tsarist right wing nationalist. Your comment can be safely disregarded once se learn that your source on how socialist implementation looked like is literally a work of fiction.
You should try and read a normal book for adults, you know, an actual essay discussing the facts from a scientific standpoint and not a propaganda novel.

The Soviet Union were literally the closest allies of the Nazis
No, fuck you actually. I’m a Spaniard, and back in 1936 before any “Motherboard-Ribbedcock” anticommunist propaganda you’re making (I’ve educated you about this topic before and you just refuse to absorb the facts), the Soviets were the ONLY country in the world arming the antifascists. You’re the saddest excuse for a propagandist I’ve seen, literally carrying water for genocidal maniacs and landlords while our societies collapse due to climate change and fascist takeover of our institutions. I refuse to entertain your bullshit, asshole

Yeah yeah, European chauvinism yadda yadda
“You don’t know? Chinese people liking their government means they’re a dictatorship for some reason, seeseepee!!!111!1!11!1!”
Shut up, boring-ass pro-landlord propagandist

I’m talking to this gorilla user, they’re everywhere whenever communism is mentioned carrying water for capitalism and its horrors
- Comment on You have nothing to lose but your brains 2 weeks ago:
You’re such a boring anticommunist proapgandist, you’ve been educated a million times in this platform and you refuse to absorb the smallest knowledge.
If communism doesnt work, why did it take 1bn people out of poverty and save Europe from Nazism?
- Comment on You have nothing to lose but your brains 2 weeks ago:
You cannot have real democracy when there is a ruling minority class, as in capitalism, simple as that.

You have far fewer desperate people to feed into the meat grinder
Funnily enough, socialist countries typically don’t feature unemployment, making the utilization of labor more effective. Also, planned economy has immense potential in the information era.
you have to be right everywhere every time or the oppressors will magnify your failures both at home and abroad
You have tools to curb this, there’s a reason why the great internet firewall exists.
your researchers aren’t researching almost exclusively weapons of mass destruction
Fair enough lmao

No. You’re wrong.
I’m from Spain, we had fascism for 40 years. We had no public education for everyone, no free healthcare for everyone, no guaranteed employment, no right to unionize, no pensions, no guaranteed housing, university was only for the rich families, farm workers were exploited by the landowners, there was immense racism and ethnonationalism as state policy, and other cultures and languages (see Basque and Catalan) were forbidden and repressed.
Communism is literally antithetical to fascism, it provides universal free healthcare, universal pensions, guaranteed right to employment, guaranteed housing at affordable prices, universal free education to the highest level, respect for local cultures and languages, socialist internationalism as opposed to ethnonationalism, highest unionization rates, redistribution of the farmlands…
I suggest you read more on what fascism actually was, and what communism has historically actually been.

Sure, the Soviets should have just dismantled the state, that would have totally not led to Nazis exterminating everyone between Berlin and the Urals as they claimed to desire! Dismantling socialist states is something you should totally realistically desire while there still exist capitalist and fascist empires! /s

Right they can print the money to pay their debts… What happens then? Inflation
Sure, buddy, giving currency to China somehow generates inflation in the domestic economy. You’re literally making stuff up as you go, and you’re showing it

A classic excuse politically is to say the immigrants and minorities are taking it
In Spain the scapegoats are usually Latin American immigrants, Moroccan immigrants, Romanian immigrants and south-Sahara immigrants, together with ofc the extremely violent racism against the Roma people prevalent in all of Europe. Ofc all these people are the backbone of the economy with their hard labor.
It’s such a vicious cycle fascism and wealth inequality
It really fucking is. Europe can’t compete internationally against China’s economy and increasingly can’t maintain control over its neocolonies, so the only way to increase corporate profits is by destroying our salaries and lowering their taxes, and the capitalists pull out the far-right in response to this, as a tool to discipline us in case we get too creative with worker rights and unionization.

If you’re interested on a video about how the social credit thing actually works, explained by a Chinese, you can watch this one, it’s clear and concise enough.
I think with the being afraid to speak out thing I was more talking about the media walking on eggshells as just an unwritten rule
Hmmm, I think there’s a part of truth to this. There is a more active state censorship in China than there is in, say, Europe, though I don’t think it takes a punitive form except in extreme cases. In Europe it’s private sector censorship: a journalist cannot write explicitly socialist opinions in a newspaper at risk of being fired, and the few journals that allow for this are fringe, heavily criticized, and don’t receive any funding (most media here are unprofitable by themselves and survive by cash infusions from other parts of the private sector with vested interests in controlling the public narrative). On the other hand, the censorship in China makes it so that there aren’t big crowds of far-right reactionary conspiracy theorists: imagine how many thousands and thousands of lives saved by the lack of vaccine denialists, facemask deniers, or fake natural cancer therapies.
I mean, the US is worse for a fact right now with Trump, we still have a measure of social welfare, but it’s only been disintegrating and never so much as recovering a bit in the entirety of my adult life, and this applies to all of Europe. In Spain, a leftist party called Podemos recently became hugely popular trying to change this, and got an orchestrated smear campaign consisting of manufactured false evidence of funding by Iran and Venezuela which was fabricated by a reactionary corps within the national police under direction of the minister of interior affairs, and leaked to all capitalist media (we have two big media groups in Spanish Television, and one of them belongs to far-right Italian politician and pedophile Silvio Berlusconi, rest in piss fucker). This all but destroyed the party in a matter of a few years.
Something similar happened in Greece, they elected a leftist party called Syriza to government and they won the elections under the premise of reverting neoliberal policy. The EU intervened through the infamous “Troika” and told Greece that if it stopped cutting the budgets of healthcare and education it would be kicked out of the EU and the Euro. It’s truly sad and disgusting.

I literally explained you that Xinjiang used to be exempt from single-child policy for the longest time and then stopped being. Fines for people with more than one child were the norm in all of fucking China, you uneducated twat. The rest of the text quoted are the famous “anonymous interviews”, and fearmongering using the availability of family planning in fucking hospitals
Xinjiang hospital slides obtained by the AP show that pregnancy prevention injections, sometimes with the hormonal medication Depo-Provera, are a common family planning measure
Omg, people in Xinjiang have access to family planning, literally genocide.
In other efforts to change the population balance of Xinjiang, China is dangling land, jobs and economic subsidies to lure Han migrants there. It is also aggressively promoting intermarriage between Han Chinese and Uighurs
Oh noooo, economic subsidies in the region and promoting cultural exchange, literally genocide!!
Honestly, fuck you. This bullshit is a form of genocide denial by minimization, claiming that everything is a genocide is actually extremely negative towards Palestinians suffering actual genocide.

“No, you see, when it’s an imperialist nation claiming Mongolia’s entire country as its territory with US military bases it doesn’t count, it only counts when it’s a communist country without a recent history of militarism”
Those military drills are also literally in Taiwan to help prepare for a chinese invasion of their land
“No, it’s not militarism, it’s called ‘Ministry of Defense!!!’”
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Taiwan literally does this lmao
This is the official territorial claim of the Republic of China (Taiwan), they literally claim that mainland China belongs to them (together with the entirety of Mongolia and several chunks from other countries). Taiwan is literally TODAY carrying out military drills in coordination with the US
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
You just won’t accept that US military bases (which are being used TODAY to bomb sovereign nations) are a bigger threat to China than whatever patrolling China is doing around Taiwan
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Ok ok, all nations are equally bad in your head because China could hypothetically do something (this propaganda has been going on for 20 years). Everything is possible when you make shit up!
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
His “research” consists of conflating a reeducation campaign in the context of ISIS-related terrorism with genocide through mistranslation, cherrypicking and bad faith, and the argument is “the birthrates dropped so it’s genocide”. Birthrates dropped because Uyghur used to be exempt from the single-child policy (as all minority ethnicities in China) and when Xinjiang started developing at fast pace in the past decades, birthrates dropped dramatically.
If you really think a CIA asset cannot take public documents in Chinese and misinterpret and twist them enough with the purpose of manufacturing antichinese propaganda, idk what to tell you.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
You’re right, they’re not comparable, China hasn’t engaged in military action for the past 50 years whereas the US hasn’t stopped being at war in that same period of time and has just some weeks ago started bombing another sovereign country from its surrounding military bases
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Surely not a threat to China at all!!

It can just as well show how indoctrinated people are in China (and it in fact does by looking at a second graph, it’s comical to claim that China is a democracy)
Of course, the real democracies are the ones people hate. I feel so democratic here in Spain, where we get to enjoy voting once every 4 years the colour of the party that will apply neoliberal austerity policy and progress in the erosion of healthcare, education and pensions! So democratic when every 4, at most 8 years, people hate-vote their way out of the existing government coalition and move to the other side of the isle which repeats exactly the same EU-dictated policy.
I feel so democratic knowing that, if you start a leftist party, the deep state will literally fabricate false evidence of funding by Venezuela and Iran and leak it to all capitalist media to discredit you and demolish your party (read about Podemos and the Informe PISA). So democratic that the institutions do nothing about the rise of the far right in Europe at the same time! God I love our democracy

Source: the same national news stations that have been denying the Palestinian genocide by Isntreal for the past 3 years. They’ve literally taken off the mask, how do you still believe their propaganda?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
There are no threats to Chinese territorial waters
Then you surely agree there are no threats to Taiwan by China?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Because Philippines has US military bases that threaten China’s sovereignty and control of its waters. Why are there US military ships around Chinese waters and not vice-versa?

Communists want all States to be dismantled too, we just understand that this cannot be achieved while world capitalism exists.

How? The US is literally invading Iran as we speak and China is the main country supporting Iran’s right to self defense
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Different behaviour though, the US is literally bombing Iran.

Surely the BBC, the Zionist state media that lied to us for 3 years about the genocide in Palestine, couldn’t be lying to us again for geopolitical purposes concerning China!
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
China is literally the first trading partner of Taiwan, stop victimizing them when they have lived in peace with China for the past 50 years. As for Hong Kong and Tibet, go ahead and show us your sources for total amount of people actually not supporting the Chinese government. I’m a Spaniard, and I can tell you that the last vote in Catalonia went something like 47% against belonging to Spain, yet I don’t see you ever mentioning the Spanish imperialism on Catalonia.
