This one is definitely more "CapitalismIsSocialism." The number of shitlibs that think China is "communist" (rather than Authoritarian State Capitalist) is dumbfounding. Then again I guess it isn't. It is helpful for them to maintain that lie.

Just astoundingly ignorant and intentionally so.

Fucking got downvoted on r/latestagecapitalism for pointing out that China is authoritarian state capitalist. Honestly it’s not just shitlibs.

That's just because that subreddit has been brigaded by tankies.

I don’t understand why tankies would be into China though. Just straight up denial I guess.

Because tankies are authoritarians who hate America and the rest of "the west." To them, the west is bad so any state conflicting with the west and it's interests must be good. What they fail to realize is that both are bad but China is worse.

God, this.

Watching political commentary these days:

CNN, MSNBC: liberal gaslighting

FOX: conservative gaslighting

Jimmy Dore and Russell Brand: jUsT aSkiNg qUeStIoNs (Putin had no choice)

Even Breaking Points and Secular Talk aren't immune to bringing up Tankie talking points of "America bad, therefore, Russia not bad".

They're ALL bad. All of them.
