I’ve got a friend from Shenzhen who thinks Xi is the worst thing since Mao. If I said that to a lemmy.ml user I’d be banned from the instance.
Hell, I got suspended for 4 days (and trolled to fuck) when I suggested someone was a tankie (literally a communist who believes in using tanks to kill people).
Silly thing is I’m a fucking socialist! I believe in all the key tenets of socialism. But heaven forbid you criticise DPRK or China. They’ll chew you apart.
There’s plenty of fucking countries where from socialism has worked and there’s plenty where some level of socialism currently works.
I mentioned the Nordic Model and instead of them agreeing it was a good step they spent their time ‘educating’ me on how it’s not true socialism and it’s just as bad as the US.
Fucking boggles the mind. They genuinely seem to think Stalin was a saint and Kim is a benevolent, democratically elected leader. If anyone thinks otherwise it’s due to Western propaganda.
I know people living in China - they ain’t fucking happy!

They either fall into two camps.
50 centers paid or voluntold to spread the party line.
Useful idiots who think in a binary West bad/Rest good mentality.
Either way they’re tools of propaganda warfare.
