lol it’s kind of a testament to how far the socialist left in the us has fallen that the idea of having comrades and perspectives internationally can only be considered a joke. socialism being international isn’t just a slogan ya know? you wanna read their insights here’s their website https://chinaworker.info/en/ if you think they’re the cia or whatever else cool more power to you, but those are my comrades and have the privilege to speak to a few of them and it’s pretty exciting the new left that’s forming in China now despite the obstacles which are tremendous there. in any event, gently caress the mods of this and the other forums.

the new left in china overwhelmingly supports xi. i don't think they'd post anything like this garbage



i agree that internationalism is important, which is why i'd be more interested in what the majority of chinese maoists think not cherry picked poo poo from people whose line neatly echoes state department garbage. i didn't have any bone in the ongoing arguments you have with ferrinus but i'm genuinely flabbergasted you posted that as representative of them and i'm going to be pretty skeptical of anything you post going forward.

i think their main hangout is utopia (wyzxwk.com) if you're actually curious about what they think.

i love the mental image of some chud stealing the sacred electoral texts and all the wall street capitalists and military brass who have zero problem with biden being president being like “the constitution says.. nothing... nothing about what to do if the lacquer ballot box is stolen by a mob.... we have no choice but to crown Trump president for life..”

living life thinking things like this has to be magical god drat i wish i was a kid again

it wasn't about stealing sacred electoral texts, it was about shooting nancy pelosi and aoc and a few dozen other democratic congresspeople through the head and the ensuing chaos enabling donald trump to declare his victory over voter fraud with 100% republican support

it was sort of both. on one hand they wanted to interrupt the electoral ratification process that would seal in biden's election. on the other hand they wanted to intimidate and maybe take vengeance on various left-wing or "left-wing" congressional figures

The Official Leftist Position (which I am the arbiter of, btw) is that they didn't take over poo poo and were protestors let into part of the building by cops and they wandered around a bit and one got shot for trying to go where they weren't supposed to.

It wasn't "just fine" because I'm sure some people that aren't paid nearly enough had to actually clean all that poo poo up and that would've sucked.

see as a leftist i'd be kinda worried about cops letting them in to do all that, since they were far right racists and fascists bent on murder, but for whatever reason a lot of people on this thread are all "meh they were never gonna do anything"

not a single cop died from the riot except for suicides and a guy who it turns out was not killed with a fire extinguisher and died days later. the one rioter who got close to anyone important was immediately merked. the rioters were not prepared for the kind of serious armed confrontation it would have taken to shoot a bunch of senators and congress critters, and while the Discourse has certainly gone down hill, the general political establishment of the country is not yet at the point of rewarding a mass shooting in the capitol building with a Political Win and the license to declare Trump the president - to believe that requires a very warped view of the conditions and realistic outcomes at that moment, as well as the configurations of existing economic, political, and at the level of a coup attempt, military power. there is no alternate universe within 20 degrees of our own where what you are crying was a possibility actually happened

even in an event where somehow the mob was actually organized into competent kill teams and they shot nancy to death, there was zero chance of the current political order lining up behind that. trump had not done any of the work required for a successful coup, being not particularly liked by the military brass, and having zero actual organization to secure centers of power, including state governments, tech corporations, media, and finance capital

maybe if bernie sanders were at risk of becoming president, he would be viewed as a threat. but joe biden? none of the centers of power in the US were going to completely destabilize the country to prevent a moderate republican from being sworn in

yep, they could have hanged nancy and mike from a lamppost and the system would chug forward. lol at the idea of U.S. military just throwing up their hands for some dumb fuckers. People see right wing and mistakenly think that because they see themselves on the same side as the actual powers that be, that those powers also conversely think the same. mf'in british imperialist said it best, no eternal friendships only eternal interest. these morons are useful as a voting bloc, not a a beergut fascist battalion overthrowing the government lmfao
