"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

For anyone still lurking, and to add to what I have already said:

"Race card"; scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds
If they decide trade cessation you will do fuck all if any Chinese die as a result
If they decide not to do trade cessation, with the ongoing escalations to further hot wars the likes of you will go "oh well, they didn't do much for palestine anyway" as a narrative for a social license to back imperialism

So the only reason you are comfortable with risking Chinese blood either way is because you're on the samewave length as the genocidaires you nominally admonish. The likes of you are the reason why Chinese intervention is so damn risky, you make up part of the imperial cores defence, because you will offer no real stake in solidarity with Chinese and you have no real plan to threaten your own government and state.

We are, however, dialectical materialists. Matter is always in motion and we do not believe necessarily a person's abhorrent views are set in stone; we welcome you to change them - to begin with educate yourself. A lot of us here were once liberals too.

LOL ya it's fascist to say China doing nothing is actually bad. People like you'd be stanning for China even when they supported the khmer rouge too bud. Keep writing essays about how China is the savior of the world while the world burns.

China doing nothing is actually bad
Claiming ww3 will start from not trading with israel is stupid
China stans will write essays about how you're racist and a fascist for expecting better from the 2nd most powerful nation in the world.

You talk like you have just learned what socialism is from the back of a milk carton. One of the top things MLs criticise China is the war against Vietnam and its dealing with Khmer Rouge.

But you don't know that because you don't realise what this is. The chances of you being convinced here is very close to zero; this is for anyone lurking here so they may have a chance to educate themselves and not become a piece of shit compatible-left of the US empire.

You are functionally not against the genocide, you are what makes the genocide possible.

Hope that helps, buddy.

No I do know that, which is why I brought it up the fuck. You brought up I was racist when I criticize China. I brought up another valid criticism of China and you go off some bullshit.

Keep deflecting how China NEEDS to trade with a genocidal entity to prevent future entities and criticizing that makes you racist. Joke of the century.

You're going to have to at least demonstrate you understand the arguments made here otherwise it's going to look like you're being bullied for not having the intelligence bandwidth to process this at present.
