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:
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 working class of the PRC is the class in power! This is chauvanism, why on Earth do you get to say that the working class needs to overthrow the socialist system they support? This is a deeply western viewpoint you have, the Chinese working class already overthrew their oppressors last century.
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?
No?
Edit: don’t see your point. Its not like I am citing Donald trump…
I was referring to Adrian zenz, that guy seems to pop up in literally every western accusation about China at this point.
The most recent example being him as a ‘fluent’ mandarin speaker hearing the word “满勤奖” or ‘full attendance award’ from a recording in a factory and intentionally misrepresenting it as “Xinjiang.” That was then the basis for then claiming that there was evidence of forced labor in Xinjiang.
Ok… Not me
You know his work though, quoting you:
I found out about Adrian Zenz because he was showing up in every source whenever I tried to look into accusations about how “China masacered the Uigurs”[sic].
Maybe you should look into where information is coming from before citing it as provable fact.
edit: someone even directly replied to you asking you for a source other than him over two years ago
You misquote me -.-
In the mentioned post i was giving examples of verifiable and falsefiable claims.
The point is that those are statements which (given enough time and info) can be proben right of wrong, while statements like “Einstein was wrong” “stalin was right” are not, because they are too broad and don’t have a definitive and absolute binary “true” or “false” category.
This discussion is a waste of time
