    Contrary to western narrative, China’s native rock scene was birthed from anti-liberalism in the 80s.

        Also Chinese heavy metal band Tang Dynasty had a badass metal cover for the Chinese version of the Internationale.

        Cui Jian. You may start with “Rock ‘n’ Roll on the New Long March”. And his “Nothing to My Name” is a literal anti-capitalism anthem.

        Speaking as a Chinese person…one thing I really find off about online leftist culture is the self hatred, especially towards their own ethnicity. I understand that Anglos are the source of a lot of the world’s imperalism so a joke here and there is fine but it gets too much after a while. Especially because it reminds me of the self hatred I see so often in anti-CPC Chinese liberals.

          You’re right. Though honestly, I have a deep abiding hatred of the Beatles (especially John Lennon and “Imagine”) that goes beyond ideology or ethnicity.

    My dream in my music carrer is now getting to play live in china with these heroes watching me in the background. Fuck the set list, only communist anthems are being played.
