    I said “Tankie” is a caricature, another term might be “strawman.” They don’t exist

    And literally in the next paragraph he denies the uyghur genocide.

    The Uyghur people aren’t being […] forcibly sterilized

    except they literally are.

    And then he parrots soviet propaganda on why their imperialism was actually not imperialism lol

    Color me surprised, the one calling Communists “fascist” and doing Holocaust trivialization is a defender of Nazis.

    Strawmanning and moving the goalpoast. Tried and True Tankie Method.

    Go wank another one to the poster of Stalin over your bed. A serious discussion is not possible with someone living detached from reality. Have a good one.

      What do you think a genocide is? You compared re-education camps to the Holocaust, industrialized mass-murder of over 10 million people. Read the UN report on Human Rights Violations in Xinjiang. There’s a lot here that can be discussed without bringing up lies like “forced steralization.” Such claims originate with Christian Nationalist Adrian Zenz, who believes China is the antichrist. His claims of forced sterilization (paid for by BBC, I might add) constitute a misreading of 8% of new IUDs in China going to Uyghurs for 80%. Uyghurs were even exempt from the One Child Policy.

      You have no way of defending the fact that you just called the New York Times “Soviet Propaganda” when it reveals the Nazi-led pograms in Hungary, you just double down and continue to bat for literal Nazis. It isn’t a strawman, you literally defended the MI6 funded and trained Nazi Pograms and lynchings of Jewish People and Communists, it doesn’t get more clear-cut than that.
