Comment on Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse

  You were temp-banned, for dogmatically repeating debunked claims pushed by liberals, in the face of evidence to the contrary. You appear to be free to comment there.

    Didnt know it was temp. Thank you

    One was more despite the evidence of clear worker rights violations that was argued was fine because the state is “the workers”. The second I got called to provide evidence (which sure no probs there) but then silenced lmao. Super frustrating.

      What you called “clear worker rights violations,” was just the fact that unions are required to be a part of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, and aren’t allowed to be independent from that federation. This isn’t a violation of worker rights, though, as the only purpose rogue unions would serve is undermining the socialist system, and would be vulnerable to foreign backing (such as from the US Empire).

      The socialist state is already run by the working classes, I recommend Roland Boer’s Socialism in Power: On the Theory and History of Socialist Governance to get a better idea of how and why socialist countries hold the structures they do. Roland Boer also has a good book called *Socialism with Chinese Characteristics: A Guide for Foreigners, which is more specifically about the PRC and goes beyond the structures of governance to the more broad system of socialism in China.

        I’m curious if you have any good video essays, I really enjoy learning while doing things, which is much more difficult with reading, though I have started Socialism With Chinese Characteristics and it is interesting!

        Fair point those workers trying to organize against unfair labor practices would undermine the state. The state was surely handling super well already actually. /s

        Thank you for the reads though i will check those out even if we disagree on this so fat
