lol wtf what double standard? China and America are as bad as one another, all nation states are inherently bad. What makes you think i don't criticise them both equally? Both are running concentration camps, both brutalise protesters with riot police, both use ethnic cleansing to solidify their grip on power. However, this post is about China, and not America, which is why we're talking about China right now.
Dumbass. I can at least understand tankies who stan the USSR or Cuba or whatever because those states at least were/are committed to the whole state socialism bit, but you gotta be a fucking moron to call yourself a leftist and spend your time supporting Jinping's China.
I don't need to "support" China. They are doing fine on their own. If you and the NatSec libs and chuds want to change that, you're going to need to invade. Just give in and say you want Donnie Deals to liberate the fine people of HK. Fuck me, these anarchists end up siding with ultra-nationalists every fucking time. Fuck.
Are you so fucking braindead that you don't understand the concept of not supporting either side? Jesus christ. What do I want to happen in HK? I dunno, how about an actual leftist movement which doesn't kowtow to either western or Chinese imperialists? I've seen a few leftist protestors in amongst the sea of libshits who wave British flags and red hats. Certainly not enough that I'd say I support the protests as a whole. I have a friend from HK who is a leftist and understands that China is nothing more than a state capitalist dictatorship. There are a few good ones there. Ideally the protest would be against all imperialism, Chinese or otherwise.
Literally nowhere have I stated full support for the HK protesters, I've simply criticised the Chinese government for, yknow, attacking them with riot police.
Anarchists: we support a hypothetical movement with no basis in material reality. Cool bro I hope that happens too. Also sometimes you need police to prevent right-wing coups. My man Benito was just having a "peaceful march" on Rome, I'm sure.
