If so, was it polled somewhere?

      Don’t you dare mix up socialism and whatever hexbear is. Socialism =/= genocide denialism or authoritarianism.

        You say they deny genocide a lot in this thread. Can you link even one instance of this?

            They don’t mention the Holocaust or Armenian genocide or the genocide of the indigenous people of the Americas. They’re just talking about China

              So they’re just denying the Uyghur genocide because it would make a “communist” country look bad but they don’t deny the genocides by capitalist countries, so they’re ok 👍

              A genocide is a genocide is a genocide.

              Talking about that, I wonder what’s their stance on Tibet, we don’t hear about that genocide very often anymore…

                    My guy read your own fucking source. Your UN paper doesn’t even conclude that China is engaging in Genocide.

                    I’ll add to this - the Holocaust museum features prominently the testimony and picture of Rushan Abbas. She has a long history of activism in China (the details of which are important but we have more immediate concerns), and that lead to a career with… Radio Free Asia… Oh look, there we have another CIA/State Department mouthpiece.

                    I will further critique the source and echo another commenter saying that they don’t have a single link. That page tells a story, but it does not provide any direct sources other than testimony from activists with demonstrable links to RFA.

                    Is the US Holocaust Memorial Museum a good source?

                    Seeing as they don’t have a single citation in that entire page, no, it’s not a good source

                    And this UN article mentions human rights violations, which, fine, nobody is arguing that there aren’t human rights violations in Xinjiang detention centers. But compared to US prisons, these conditions are pleasant. NOTHING in that article is even hinting at genocide. And comparing prison time for 2-18 months to genocide is deeply offensive to peoples who have actually suffered genocide. You sound like a typical white westerner who is trying to whitewash the crimes of your country by projecting them onto other countries

                    Yep, there it is. An article by a modern socialist writer. You can actually read some theory, or you can keep chugging American state department propaganda. Capitalism or socialism? It’s time to decide, America is collapsing and they will engage in a last ditch effort war on China in a feeble attempt to maintain their empire. You can either side with America, repeating western propaganda you see on the “news” and reddit; or you can stand with the workers of the world— the colonized nations and the socialist states that stand up for them. Imperial core and international capital or the periphery and the international proletariat?
