Comment on Something we all can agree on
realitista@lemmus.org 3 days agoI’m just having a hard time believing that such people actually exist outside of China or Russia. I think to a real Maoist that didn’t grow up in the Chinese propaganda bubble it would be obvious that neither one of them are really implementing Marxist/leninist ideology as much as they are implementing good old fashioned authoritarianism.

I know a bunch of people IRL from in person organizing in the US who are ML/maoist and have positive opinions of China, but it’s generally the kind of critical support you see on hexbear. A lot of them are trans/NB and have grown up in the US propaganda bubble and reject it.
Also pretty sure both lemmy.ml and hexbear.net are blocked in china. It’s probably just because they block all foreign social media as a general practice though.

Correct, I had to move to this instance when I was traveling in China. Its nice.
Kinda, but lemmy.world? Not blocked, despite being bigger than .ml and hb.
