@SeaJ@TheBlue22, although there are participants from the extreme left on Lemmy.ml, it is a good site. I prefer, like anyone oriented to the left of the political spectrum with a social ethic, this field than one oriented to the extreme right and fascist, of the social networks that we all already know. You can argue with those on the left, with the fascists it’s not possible, in any case, if you don’t like it, just ignore or block the corresponding instance.
@BraBraBra, neither China nor any other country today is what should be praised as a political ideal. China is certainly a totalitarian regime, but in comparison it is no worse than the US, Russia or others where the greed and lust for personal power of an elite prevail over the common good.
Political ideology is one thing and quite another to find where it is applied and not just nominal for the public.
The US is far from perfect, but we are not currently committing a genocide against our citizens. We have a terrible for-profit justice system, but it’s not a genocide.
And, I can’t believe it needs to be said, but a country commiting a genocide is worse that a country that’s not.
True, but let’s be real here: it’s only true, because you started the genocide much earlier and at this point in time are basically done, besides when some holy site or other is in the way of building an environment destroying pipeline and necessitates a belated mop up operation on a scale small enough to be largely overlooked, especially by corporate media who couldn’t give a fuck about any genocide that can’t be used to further a profitable agenda anyway.
Lemmy.ml was started by tankies. It’s more pro-China (aka state capitalism/corporatism) than it is Marxist though.

China apologists are scum of the earth and deserve to suffer in ““reeducation camps””

Obviously China is worse. The West isn’t perfect, but China is about as bad as a country can be.
