This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information.
Rules:

- No ableism, racism, misogyny, transphobia, etc.
- No pro-imperialists, liberals or electoralists
- No dogmatism/idealism (Trotskyism, Gonzaloism, Hoxhaism, anarchism, etc.)
- Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively

Yeah, it's weird that people prefer democracy to dictatorship. Freedom of speech is pretty important too.
I have a lot of issues with capitalism, but that doesn't mean I'm ready to give up on democracy as a whole. And China has just about as many of those capitalism problems as we do.
World you participate in a mild, painless experiment? Would you carefully read Roland Boer's Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, and then come back here with an honest review? You don't even have to agree with him. All I ask for is a fair treatment.
Thank you for this. I've only just read the first chapter, and it's already eye-opening how it addresses the Western approach to discourse about China.
Its a huge book for me and after reading it I felt like I actually knew something and had a foundation to learn more. The sheer amount of sources and citations makes it possible to really expand your knowledge on these topics in ways many westerners simply won't.
