Someone having a different ideology other than your own isn’t being a “bot” or a “bad actor.” Saying that just shows you don’t know anything about US politics.
Another user definitely pointed out evidence for why the gulag archipelago is fiction you just seemed to not want to engage with it. I had that exact conversation with an ex-friend of mine and I had to tell him why Solzhenitsyn is a piece of shit and unreliable for the truth. This video sums him and that book up perfectly.
I used to think like you but then I got over my smug ignorance by reading things about China that weren’t from the CIA or nazis. It will help you to read the page I linked or look at my other comment on this post to learn.
You say the US is also bad yet you reiterate the state & media's talking points and propaganda. You're doing the CIA's work for free.
allowed to say how much our country sucks
Since the PRC has whole process democracy people are able to criticize the government and policies in a way that can lead to a better progression of socialism. The framework is democratic centralism, or "freedom of discussion, unity of action." Now criticisms from reactionaries, capitalists, or foreign influences by the CIA, need to be suppressed since they don't benefit society or improve human development. The PRC does have surveillance, but it mostly aimed at keeping businesses/capital and forces that wish to destabilize it from inside or out checked, here's an intro to the Social Credit System. Also fun fact the population of China actually has a higher perception of democracy:
far more human rights violations
The PRC is busy building actual democracy as stated above, lifting 700+ million people out of poverty, helping rebuild and develop the Global South, is far ahead in having social rights with free (or way cheaper) healthcare, education, and housing all while leading the world in renewable energy. The imperial core is busy causing endless wars, looting raw materials and resources from "undeveloped" countries, killing millions, bombing countries to hell, sponsoring an actual genocide and apartheid in Palestine, has the largest incarnation and homelessness percentages in the world, drives people into poverty as material conditions get worse, and has the most expensive and backwards healthcare system all while censoring and attacking those who speak against them.
Is China perfect, no, but it is leagues above any country you perceive as a beacon of "freedom."
Yeah as we can see Rojava is a state and as far as states go imo doesn’t deserve undying support. My solidarity lies with the people of the region in their struggle against imperialism, not in the leadership’s ideals and use of authority.
For questions about the vanguard and why socialism is a better proven model both politically and economically I recommend State and Revolution by Lenin.
What the average nazi says
Libs upset he beat their team
You were taught Russian state media is bullshit from Western state media sources, the same states responsible for all this
Ok?
Hell yeah I do China is amazing

“We are Cuba” by Helen Yaffe, while not explicitly an economic book it has lots of that information

I’m from the US and I definitely don’t ignore it’s crimes.
So I showed you why your earlier claims are wrong with sources & facts and you ignore all of that by responding with another nonsense statement
Wow great response so much substance
Up to you if you want to recognize reality, if not you’re doing exactly what the state department wants

I agree with you that the US is bad (and going further the entire imperial core), but why do you think China is bad?
And your first comment wasn’t patronizing? Trotsky dick can’t be that good, just ask Frida.
You aimed to be derogatory, but you missed.
lol
If you’d like to challenge your bias (which I’d recommend) here’s an overview on the PRC and an article that highlights their whole-process democracy.
All governments are authoritarian its just China is controlled by the working class in service of the working class so better trains get built.

If you would be curious what decentralization looks like under a Socialist state, this video explains Vietnam’s recent government restructure to allow for more self-regional control in it progression towards communism and the “withering away” of the state.
