The China love on the Lemmys is a bit odd.

You gotta block hexbear and .ml

I haven't yet I like to argue with them I know I can't win cos winning an argument requires the opposition is intelligent enough to apply logic but its still entertaining.

you should have seen lemmy ml when Russia invaded Ukraine. It was almost the death of the entire platform.

A lot of the communities I frequent have "no tankies allowed" listed clearly in the rules. It's not that all of lemmy likes them it's just that we haven't decided to purge them, yet, given the ideology of a decentralized network of federated content feeds.

On the flipside, the American exceptionalism on the Lemmys is par for the course...

The site is founded by Communists, it's not odd at all.

If you're a communist you can't like China

China is a Communist state...

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is democratic.

China isn't Communist enough for you?

By definition a communist society is stateless, moneyless, and classless. Non of which China has achieved.

None of which any Communist state in history has achieved.

Wth are you talking about?

None of which any state which has nominally aspired toward Communism has achieved. There have been no Communist states. There have been states which have claimed, perhaps earnestly, that they are trying to transition to Communism. There can be no Communist state, it's a contradiction of terms.

Some incredible fucking insight, especially as it goes against probably all historical literature we have on the subject.

And what's is your source for all of this?

Please be so kind as to produce some of this historical literature

With about as much value as 10 seconds of research would imply. I clicked on one link there to find:

As a term, communist state is used by Western historians, political scientists, and media to refer to these countries. However, these states do not describe themselves as communist nor do they claim to have achieved communism

China isn't communist. China is a capitalist dictatorship with one man at the top, a few people taking decisions and raking in all the profits and everyone else wage slaving away. Tell me what it reminds you
