Why dont you show me an example of someone on hexbear critizing russia or ccp?

Literally one example.

Thank you for confirming that you asked this in bad faith.

what's in good faith is citing a wikipedia article that in fact proves my point

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), officially the Communist Party of China (CPC),

Literally the first line! data-laughing

I don't think I called you racist to start with, but my point was that just because something is called by X name in one context by one group of people and Y in another context by another group does not mean both names are equally valid. When it comes to political entities, typically the belief is that the group itself decides on its own name (like Kiev officially becoming Kyiv in English, to take a recent example). The CPC says that its name is the CPC. Western journos who want their readership to hate the Party call it the CCP. These are not equally valid bases for what to call something.

I did not know that was the case. So I see your point.

I will from now on use CPC.

You're arguing that it's okay to call a group a term used almost exclusively by their political enemies who want them completely destroyed, I think it's pretty obvious that you're a racist.

[–] Sprinklebump@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

Ok. I wasnt argue to use it. I was just going off of what wikipedia said. Lol

I can change the term. Cpc it is

We're mainly waiting for you to say "Yes, I was wrong, Hexbear doesn't shill for Russia/China/DPRK and call them communist utopias, and I guess tankies is kind of a meaningless term.". I think that was the point.

parent

[–] Sprinklebump@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child)

I mean as I stated in other comments i went to hexbear a few months ago and saw a bunch of people doing this very thing. So if you want yo say that experiance was a fluke ok. But stop trying to paint me as a liar.

Also tankie has real meaning to anarchist. So I dont feel it is meaningless.

parent

[–] Flaps@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

I still have to meet an anarchist IRL who 1) knows about the term 'tankie' let alone 2) uses it

You're not gonna find any utopian communists on hexbear, they're almost all marxists.

Putin does not care about the well-being of Ukrainian citizens

Of course not, he has never. He is acting in self-interest because Ukraine and the US are escalating violence. Do you remember the lethal aid Biden sent? Where do you think that lethal aid went? Who do you think it was shot at?

we’re teetering on Putin apologia and sharing RT news uncritically.

Putin is a corrupt bastard. I think many on this site cannot tell the difference between not viewing him as satanic vs licking his boot. I wasn't going to try to argue this until your post came up.

So, China is clearly better than the US, considering that workers in BRI countries complain about price dumping, but countries in the American sphere complain about death squads. That said, we need to listen to workers and socialists who aren't in power. The NPA says they're getting shot with Chinese bullets. Workers in China still go on strike. Class struggle still exists in China, even if the state and party buffer it.

in case you needed a reminder that Putin is in fact a bad person (58 upvotes, 1 year ago)

Fuck off and stop lying.
