Fun Fact: All the copies of Lenin's works have an extra chapter about how neo colonialism is actually really good if it's China doing it to African countries

china's socialism is questionable with all the millionaires and billionaires, but the chinese government has literally executed millionaires and billionaires (like recently) and lol at that happening in the united states

theyre no doubt better than the US but thats not really a great standard since the US is objectively the most evil and destructive country on the planet and has been since WWII at a minimum

Chinese people are extremely xenophobic, also see: Korea, Japan, most Asian countries to my knowledge?
From my exp though it's mostly the old people though, unless you're a brown Asian, then everyone will be racist to you

America is racist in a different, more domestic way, like a conservative would probably have a lot more "respect" for an immigrant from Ghana then a black guy from East phoenix or south Detroit.

"i saw a chinese person being racist" isn't the same thing as actual government policy which codifies racism

it isn't the presence of racist people that makes the united states a white supremacist state

cultural racism and racism of individuals occupying spaces of power plays a huge role in America being a white supremacist state

China gave 3,000 assault rifles to the Philippines on Thursday as a gesture of "friendly and cooperative relations", the second shipment of rifles to the Philippines this year as President Rodrigo Duterte seeks closer ties with old foe Beijing.

Philippines Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said the Chinese weapons were supposed to go to the military, but Duterte felt the police needed them more.

"We are lucky that the Chinese government provided the firearms," Lorenzana said at a news conference, where stacks of rifles were on display.

Leftcoms would organize the koopas/goombas to forcibly overthrow both Bowser and Princess Peach once the conditions were right and focus on organizing them and heightening the contradictions in the meantime. The turtles in that comic are liberal anarcho individualists.

A lot of anprims don't really want that society, they just think civilizational collapse is inevitable

It's a political philosophy designed to be annoying now so they get to tell you "I told you so, as you fight to death over a can of beans"


Also wtf the koopas reject property so they can't be liberal

They're just utopian anarchists

They reject property but in reality they're just existing on a piece of property where the owners don't bother them.

how does this supposed reality affect whether or not they're liberals?

because they're deluding themselves into thinking they've somehow transgressed against or escaped the system when in reality they're complacent in it as long as they're afforded a set of natural rights, the key of them being that they're left alone on their platform, aka property

They didn't even know they were in a kindom until mario showed up and told them. If there was no kingdom and they were just there by themselves would they still be liberals?

I guess they're not in that case, but that's not really a good model for any kind of lesson or society, the world around them exists whether they know about it or not, and the percent of the global population that is completely ignorant/uncontacted by outsiders is <0.0000001% of the population
