    “The tankie would easily be able to convince their friend if they said China is never going to convert to communism, but communism was tried by lots of indigenous tribes and it worked great.”

    “Silly tankie, purity theory says that Chinese government needs to completely own everything to be communist and that them owning 70% of the economy and crucial industry is still capitalism. Gommunism is when Senecas and communes, actually.”

      I know there are a billion Chinese people and the vast majority approve of the Communist Party of China, but all those people are forgetting something very important. A few first world crackers disapprove.

      This is the sort of take I’m incredibly skeptical about unless it’s coming from an indigenous comrade 'cos it reads way too much like those people who keep asserting that the Zapatistas are anarchists despite the fact they’ve put out pamphlets rejecting it as a label.
