It doesn’t actually matter. The problem is that in the absence of knowledge, what people have rattling about in their heads are a bunch of tropes, many of which mix and reinforce one another. It’s concentration camps = Fascists = Genocide. The connections are formed without having to say a word. The link continues Genocide = 100 million = Communism = PRC so it feels to the average person like there’s some sort of logic and precedent for the PRC to be doing this.
I think there’s an unspoken superstructural concern many leftists have about the PRC getting richer/becoming more developed and it may stem from this. That instead of developing the productive forces toward socialism, the people will cling on to capitalist-esque relations all on their own.
Sounds good, but do you think this may be because you tend to hang out with left-leaning people or do you think even the cracker types are realizing it too?
If you think of it as paying a toll/rent to the people who think they own or should own the land/world, this line of thinking actually starts making sense.
Actually, the article doesn’t make the 10m sound very impressive since they also wrote that Pfizer and AstraZeneca would supply 40m and 150m respectively to this COVAX initiative.
Yes, but the PRC is authoritarian and we like this fact because it’s often wielded in favour of proletarian interests. It is a left idealist disagreement if anything and it’s not even anything close to the venom you’ll find in places like r/completeanarchy.
Wasn’t Germany one of the countries that backed the US on the XJ and HK situations? The blocs are there already. It’s just an imperialist bloc vs an anti-imperialist bloc.
One thing I’ve noticed is how much the lady asking the question resembles so much of reddit. Lots of unfounded assumptions and hypocritical concern trolling…
