at least they got the left wing ‘write a long ass screed to repeat the same thing 20 times’ down. this is in response to luna’s “Do Vietnamese workers have RIGHTS? Labor Law in Vietnam! - Luna Oi!” video

    Mm yes, have you considered that it’s actually the countries that identify as communist that deserve criticism? I am totally a leftist and my understanding of geopolitics is definitely greater than a child’s.

      My comment about Trotskyism/left opposition got removed by the mods the other day for sectarianism, so I will reproduce that here in a more politically correct manner: there is a diversity of leftist opinions and there will always be leftists and socialists who see AES as red fascism, capitalist and imperialist, but this doesn’t make them any less of a communist. Trotskyists by all accounts are legitimate communists, they simply believe that the American imperialism is preferable to Chinese imperialism.

        they simply believe that the American imperialism is preferable to Chinese imperialism.

        The level of brainworms in that statement. Anyone that actually believes that is a stooge of America, full stop.

          I don’t want to be branded as a sectarian here, so mods feel free to delete as appropriate.

          But go and read what the Trot/ultra websites say about China and imperialism. I personally don’t agree with them, but I want to emphasize that they are still communists and have their own logic in their critique of AES as capitalist/imperialist powers.

            its not sectarian to be anti-sectarian. trots that have anti-china derangement are sectarian (and not particularly different from an average sitting socdem in congress)

        That’s like saying that white supremacism is preferable to brown supremacism or that patriarchy is preferable to matriarchy. It’s a flawed premise based on equivocating between a construct that exists solely for oppression and a construct that within the same framework exists solely to be oppressed

        I don’t care what you call them, they’re pro-west

        I can understand some communists having a mostly negative opinion on various AES states and modern China. But when it gets to the point they believe it’s somehow worse than American imperialism it’s just propaganda-fueled brainworms.
