“The world needs justice, not hegemony. Big countries should treat smaller ones equals, instead of acting as a hegemon, imposing their will on others or interfering in their internal affairs."

“The world needs justice, not hegemony. Big countries should treat smaller ones equals, instead of acting as a hegemon, imposing their will on others or interfering in their internal affairs."
The people of Tibet and Taiwan will be relieved to hear this.
That’s American propaganda, apparently.
Just like every other atrocity China commits that they deny. Like yeah the US sucks but that doesn’t make another dictator not suck. Like China’s existence isnt to be a polar opposite to the US, both are heartless capitalist in different ways and each insist to their citizens they arent.
Dictator worship is always silly
it’s always those that call other leftists tankies, that have the political literacy of a liberal
If the head of power doesn’t let go if said power there is no “communism” happening. Its a dictatorship. Capitalism isnt a political style its the economic system that the world participates in. China is one of the biggest participants.
You need to read a lot more thats not propaganda.
Other things being bad doesn’t make something else good. Take your blinders off.
just market socialism btw, a transition phase between capitalism and proper socialism, also it doesn’t say “communist” it says “socialist”, a mixed economy is required right now because as you said yourself, the world runs on capitalism, for market socialism to work as a transitional stage you must not let the capitalist economy over take the whole system (which china has achieved by the government controlling the billionaires and not the other way around), when the US falls from their position as the main superpower and china takes over, the transitional stage wouldn’t be needed anymore
If government controls the billionaires but still allows them to exist, what good is that government to 99% of the country?
Dictatorships are neither anti-imperial nor socialist. It was true for USSR, it keeps being true for modern russia, PRC and DPRK.
in the stage where the economy is mixed between socialism and capitalism (aka market socialism), billionaires are stlll needed to stimulate the economy, they don’t pose a threat to the rest of the country when controlled (which is how it is in china, considering they have a near zero poverty rate, about 300,000 out of 1.8 billion), you can deal with the billionaires when they are no longer needed (aka when the transition is completely)
First of all, “near zero poverty rate” is a flat out lie. The existence of billionaires at all is a threat to working class and pretending otherwise is a delusion.
Second of all, “needed to stimulate the economy” is not socialism, market or otherwise. It’s capitalism in a red coat. Plus, it doesn’t actually explain what value billionaires bring for the working class. What do they do that cannot be done without the massive wealth inequality they create?
people act like china’s claim over the Province of Taiwan is some recent thing that the CPoC came up with, when it’s the opposite way around, Taiwan has been a part of China since the 1800’s, it wasn’t until the nationalists lost the civil war to the socialists that taiwan tried to become its own country, even then most of Taiwan want to be a part china, they just don’t want china to be socialist
“dont invade the confederacy”
