What’s up with this straight up pro-china and pro-russia stuff on Lemmy lately?

It’s not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly.

Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.

Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?

    Your comment reminded me of this Rosa quote:

    “The German government‑socialists may shout that the rule of the Bolsheviks is a caricature of the dictatorship of the proletariat. If it was or is, then only for the reason that it is a product of the conduct of the German proletariat, conduct which was a caricature of socialist class struggle.”

    I live in the US, I don’t see the reason to demonize its enemies on the other side of the planet when my class enemies are right here running the US government and its associated political parties.

      I don’t see reason to demonize people at all not Americans not Chinese.

      We should be in solidarity with everyone from the working class, no matter his or her place of birth.

      Fighting for the working class always means fighting against oppressors.

      In the historical period we live in us is the worst of them, but that doesn’t make other ones good.

      Freedom of minorities, press, and assembly are under atack nearly everywhere, in the us in the EU, in China and in Russia - but those are tools the working class needs to build a better system.

      Bravo, you checked that the us government system has major flaws, may critically look at there enemies, for they are not even close to the ideals they pretend following.

      Demonizing doesn’t help, but idolizing also doesn’t.

      May try to fight for the people, not for the powerfull.

      There is no system existing on this planet at the moment which will do that for you. Simping for one or the other oppressor doesn’t cut it, even if some are better then others, you need to fight for the people, not the powerful.

        The way to fight for the people isn’t by going along with 100% of US propaganda about its state enemies.

        Do you think that I should be taking a German fundamentalist ‘on a mission from god’ against china and communism as an authority on the oppression there when he doesn’t even speak the language and routinely fabricates evidence?
