Fascism is a tool, it is not “inevitable” but is a historical phenomena, it comes in times of crisis as the old society transforms in the new. There will only be fascist answer once a communist movement is large enough to be a vanguard of the country. Will this fascism be in the West? No it will be in the global south. Reactionary forces within the global south have already quelled many communist rebellions, but it is inevitable that they will lose.

The DOTP within Western countries will be the last. When the imperialist countries have to face their contradictions, only then they will fall.

Yes but don’t tell them that

It was ran by 14-20 year olds with no life experience and a creepy pedo attorney. It was bound to fall at some point - just like the USSR.

obviously $20 isn’t enough for a whole year, so it’s generally regarded as a benefit that is better than nothing, farmers usually live on their savings

u/Asterxhx - originally from r/GenZhou
there are, bu…t maybe not so much
For a average retired farmer, maybe $20 a year ( as an example of people with the lowest pension

No. China upholds a policy of mutual non-interference in foreign affairs. In effect, they do not attempt to overthrow any de facto foreign regime. This is different than outright support.

media, etc, plenty of Propaganda and brainwashing and indoctrination

These aren’t what people think they are. Consider the funny observation that when westerners watch star wars, they identify with the rebel alliance. Except anyone remotely educated knows why that’s funny, and also why it’s not in their interest to admit the obvious. In other words, the propaganda is often in the interest of its audience, which is why it works so well. Same as why americans believed iraqi wmd’s before pretending they were “fooled”, because that dishonesty provides cover. Same self-interest with racism etc, and thus why they’re pernicious problems.

It’s true that being the bottom bitch for a while has a cultural effect, but that doesn’t supersede the underlying material conditions if that needs to be said here.

Economic Development you can probably pull the stats from John Ross’ website https://www.learningfromchina.net/ which references World Bank IMF statistics. If you have the author’s book China’s Great Road - Lessons for Marxist Theory and Socialist Practice it’ll save you some time since the book is formatted better than a bunch of articles written over the span of how many years its been up.

Poverty Alleviation - https://thetricontinental.org/studies-1-socialist-construction/ there’s also some good documentaries if you have the time for out there to watch if you want to get a grasp of the socio-economic changes. 1 2

Statistics on comparing the US and China I would recommend a look at a book written by a Singaporean ex-diplomat and ex-president of the UN security council “Has China Won?” which also takes a look at some of the failures of American liberal democracy to address the growing issues of the wealth inequality and geopolitical mistakes of US foreign policy.

Their comments were the same but their situation was different, reddit did absolutely everything it could to be nice to them and to try and keep them. Reddit has done absolutely nothing to try and build a positive relationship with the left.

If the entire population of /r/genzedong moved to /r/socialism with almost no change in moderation, /r/socialism would also be killed off by reddit because it would become an immediate threat to the status quo with its high activity level and the quality of the arguments put forwards.

None of this has anything to do with moderation choices. It is a political repression. T_D on the other hand had a belligerent modteam that was uninterested in reining in some of the problems that existed. It wasn’t politically repressed in the same way, Spez is far right and I suspect a majority of the techbros in reddit are psychotic libertarian ancap age-of-consent types.

I feel like I saw this same comment 3 years ago. Except replace every mention of r/GenZeDong with r/The_Donald and you’ll have the same exact comments The_Donald users were making while their subreddit was dying. Sad

No further arguments from my side, I think you are completely right and I agree with you. I am a liberal myself and I have no doubt a lot of liberal subreddits do the same to people who disagree, I find it equally cowardice.
