Taiwan for one is richer, stronger and happier than China per capita so does that mean dictatoriship -> democracy is a better system

Everything in that sentence is factually untrue, I need to get some of the stuff you're smoking because it must be crazy strong.

There’s no way to verify how other political system would have worked for China

It's very easy to know. India and China have similar landmass, population, and got their independence at around the same time.

The difference between the two is that China's people democracy is an objectively superior system to bourgeois dictatorships they have in India and Taiwan.

It's ridiculous to compare mainland China with Taiwan, as that island is incredibly small and therefore much, much faster to develop, and it received a lot in investments from the USA as they need a strong ally at the PRC's borders to support their hegemony. Look at south Korea for another example.

China is a gigantic country, larger than the USA, that was still aggrarian just 50 years ago. They are still developing and there is a large disparity in earning between the developed coastal areas in the east, and the undeveloped west. The prices you see on the app a from the coastal areas where salaries are similar to western Europe.

Marx wasn’t against the idea but he would have been surprised

Towards the end, Marx actually expected Russia to go through a communist revolution, and that it may even be the start of the revolutionary wave in Europe. See the preface for the 1882 Russian edition of the Communist Manifesto for reference.

Ça par contre ça n’a aucun impact émotionnel sur les personnes qui les reçoivent

Je ne comprend pas où tu veux en venir. Ce sont mes mots dans la première citation de ton commentaire, et aucun de tes liens suivants ne pointe vers un de mes commentaires. Je ne suis jamais venu dans votre meta post pour menacer ou insulter un utilisateur de jlai.lu. Je ne saisi pas pourquoi tu construis cet homme de paille.

En attendant, ton admin a proféré des menaces de mort directement à l'encontre des utilisateurs de Hexbear et Lemmygrad parce que nous sommes communistes, chose qu'aucun admin de ces deux instances n'aurait fait. Ce sont des idées qu'il partage avec des hommes comme Mussolini ou Pinochet, et c'est vraiment hypocrite qu'une personne de ce genre ose nous appeler des "fascistes", alors que nous sommes féministes, pro-lgbt, pro-minorités, internationalistes, anti-imperialistes, anti-colonialistes, anti-capitalistes.

Ah yes, famously communist, antifa, vegan, anti-cop the_donald.

I like this comparison, it's actually interesting to think about.

Pretty much everyone tends to agree with the scientifical consensus that climate change is coming, whether they are capitalist or communist. The only people who disagree are those who are financially invested in oil, gas, or coal.

In a similar manner, the message that "communism is bad" comes from capitalist regimes that have a financial interest in preserving the status quo. If you want to understand people within a capitalist society, a really good way to do it is simply to follow the money.

les tankies sont juste des mecs d’extrême droites

C'est surprenant (et décevant) de retrouver la théorie du fer à cheval dans un espace qui se veut de gauche. Le problème en même temps avec les buzzwords réactionnaires comme "woke" et "tankie", c'est que tous le monde a un peu sa propre définition, donc peut être qu'on ne parle pas du tout de la même chose.

Est-ce que tu pourrais expliquer ce que signifie "tankie" pour toi afin d'éclaircir ce que tu veux dire ?

It's when you realize that some US Americans unironicaly believe that, that you understand how powerful the USA propaganda machine is.

Considering that just two weeks ago the canadian government for cheering for actual SS Nazis, that should be a surprise for no one.

Cuba needs to do whatever it must to survive the US embargo.
