Amerika’s strategy when dealing with extremists is to kill them until there are none left.
That’s their strategy for everything. Just bomb the problem until it goes away.
They are doing it in the Middle East, they are doing it in the Philippines even. They tried it in Vietnam, they tried it in Korea.
This is generally how any imperialist power deals with their problem. Then they wonder why they keep getting attacked by terrorists.
China meanwhile is investing money into teaching marginalised people, to help them integrate, support themselves, get out of this rut they found themselves stuck in. Show them another life is possible.
I eagerly await the day the empire will fall for good.
One thing to note is that the position of bombing the middle east to counter terrorism (which is essentially a product of Western actions) is in part only a rhetoric and the decision of permanently having troops there to exert geopolitical influence is a conscious tactic. That really makes their accusations for the sake of what they call human rights that much more decrepit. Many liberals and self-proclaimed leftists don’t find it at all problematic that their worldview is in completely alignment with someone like Pompeo who is a sworn enemy of the international working class. Extremism and separatist forces are completely wiped out from the narrative regarding Xinjiang to make it look like the CPC just wants to kill off the Uyghur people. It’s a very doomed situation in the West regarding the dissemination of truth but China seems to be holding up well and the international community has backed it too. This is one of things that makes me optomistic despite liberals and sinophobes screeching about it left and right.
I used to think that I would be a Maoist when I first started out on my journey through Marxism. And it has been a hard journey. But almost from the get-go, I saw a lot of Maoists regurgitate arguments that, at least to my mind, are not only repeats of Western media propaganda, but are also “left” deviationist and right deviationist.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my thoughts down below as well.
CGTN’s Liu Xin recently said on twitter: “China is used to the bad press and can live with it.” in response to someone saying that MSM did not report on the Pfizer vaccine deaths and that line struck me even though it’s completely unrelated. It struck me that that’s the reality of power. Sure the western left can hate you all they want, but at the end of the day, your people are safe in their homes. The western left loves Palestine and rightfully so, but their adoration alone cannot stop the killing of Palestinians by Israel. Better to be hated but powerful than to be loved but bullied.
This is why Blacks say they want power. Sure, at a certain level it feels good to be the underdog, but it’s not even close to having your people live free or hell, just live at all sometimes.
