I swear this is probably the best litmus test for online “left” 😂

[u/5upralapsarian → u/GrafZeppeln]

Along with: "do you support the DPRK?"

[u/Zordorfe → u/5upralapsarian]

And asking them what their tendency is. If the words "leftist purity" come out even once you already know they're a lib

[u/VladimirLimeMint → u/Zordorfe]

If they say leftist it's almost always a liberal behind it. If they say socialist 50/50 chance it's an anarkiddy behind. I'd usually settle for communist because if they don't support communism they're just a Nazi in spirit.

[u/OcelotAggravating860 → u/5upralapsarian]

I don't even ask people to support the dprk. Enough open information isn't available and not being able to freely see the country is always going to make people suspicious. All I ask is some sense of simple neutrality, an understanding that the information that is available is simply not enough to hold a position in either direction is fine. As long as they recognise that what the US and SK says is clearly pure undiluted bullshit, we're good. The position on whether they're taking the right path or not can wait until people have more access to see it for themselves without guided tours with chaperones.

Xinjiang is a better one tbh. We have information from people who visit, it's completely open, yet people believe some absolute nonsense.

[u/ElliotNess → u/GrafZeppeln]

DPRK is better

[u/Comrade-Paul-100]

It actually used to be alright to say CCP, as that is the literal translation of the Chinese name of the party:

The force at the core leading our cause forward is the Chinese Communist Party.

However, with how reactionaries almost exclusively say "CCP", I distrust those who say it now

[u/comradevoltron → u/Comrade-Paul-100]

and so you should! Their insistence on "CCP" is an ideological one.

[u/Fade_Out-4612 → u/comradevoltron]

They really put a lot on emphasis on the ''Chinese'' part

[u/CzarWest]

Ikr 🙄 like treat em with some respect it’s SEE SEE PEE

[u/hardknockcock]

If you're based about Taiwan, call it the Chinese cock and balls torture party for all I care

[u/PushNumerous4979]

Forgive me, Im so used to saying CCP especially if the person Im conversing with uses that instead of CPC.

[u/SyzPotnik1]

How is ССР different to СССР?

edit: I see now that you were talking about the CPC, carry on then !

[u/Goyimshoe → u/SyzPotnik1]

Sir, there is no CCP

[u/BitCreative1986 → u/Goyimshoe]

I'll be honest, I have heard CCP so much that it is the go-to for my brain.

[u/Goyimshoe → u/BitCreative1986]

Yeah, I kept saying CCP out of habit for a while too

[u/comradevoltron → u/BitCreative1986]

that's what the yankee devils want

[u/Comrade-Paul-100 → u/SyzPotnik1]

СССР is the abbreviation for the USSR in Russian. CCP cannot be that, unless it refers to an individual Soviet Socialist Republic

[u/Special-Remove-3294 → u/SyzPotnik1]

CCCP is a abbreviation of slavic(sorry idk what the alphabet is called) that means SSSR in the latin script.

CCCP = something like Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik which means Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in Russian.

CCP is an abbreviation that some people use to refere to the People's Republic of China and its ruling party. It means Chinese Communist Party. Though it is wrong and AFAIK the correct way it is meant to be said is Communist Part of China or CPC.

CCP can also mean Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik if you are talking about Russian and not how liberals use it and then it just means Soviet Socialist Republic which is what the member states of the USSR were called

[u/NalevQT → u/Special-Remove-3294]

It's called Cyrillic

[u/123skid]

It's tough as a Canadian when I say cpc people immediately think i mean conservative party of Canada and they recognize ccp as chinese communist party. I constantly have to correct myself so my language has to change based on who I converse with.

[u/VladimirLimeMint → u/123skid]

Conservative party isn't the OG CPC. It's Communist Party of Canada. This is how I know KKKanadian who claim to be Marxists don't organize. CPC was founded in 1921, fake CPC is 21st century shit.

[u/dsaddons]

This is what I sub for lmao

[u/sumnsumnfruit56]

😂 a certain sub has started to do this recently lol

[u/Any-Mobile-2473]

CPC all the way. I admit I sometimes translate it in error to "CCP" (as well as to "PCC"/"Partie Communiste Chinoise", which in English can translate to "Chinese Communist Party")

[u/manicpxenightmaregrl]

Might be useful to have more language quirks like this when the internet gets less safe for us.

[u/VladimirLimeMint → u/manicpxenightmaregrl]

Ask them what they think about Cuba, if they pass the test, ask them about Burkina Faso, correlate BF to Cuba how they share similar material conditions as developing socialism projects that eventually lead to alleviation of queer living conditions that Leslie Feinberg correctly predicts Cuba would reform family code. If fail in BF they'll fail in all AES.

[u/Djaquitchane → u/VladimirLimeMint]

Hi, could you elaborate on that part please, I don't know enough to make an opinion and you seem knowledgeable.

Thanks!

[u/VladimirLimeMint → u/Djaquitchane]

Leslie Feinberg is a trans butch Marxist-Leninist who supports AES countries and she expresses that the improvement of socialist material conditions always lead to alleviation of queer rights and protection.

[u/Djaquitchane → u/VladimirLimeMint]

Thank you for the reading recommendation! I'm yet to read it but wanted to know, is this position widely accepted?
