"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

Insulting DPP (democratic progressive party) leadership is now officially illegal in Taiwan. Taiwan can finally stop pretending they have political free speech.

Public insult is a criminal offense under Taiwan's Criminal Code, unlike in many other democracies. Lin faces up to one year in prison or a fine of less than NT$9,000 (US$287) under Article 309 of Taiwan’s Criminal Code, CNA reported. The charges stem from remarks Lin made during a speech at a live-streamed rally outside DPP headquarters on July 20.

Taipei District Prosecutors Office investigators said Lin, then a serving lawmaker, repeatedly used obscene language in his speech, including swearing aimed directly at Lai five times.

Some graphs display China as third place, only below Singapore and Spain. The U.S still ranks far below that.

These sources are all from the west or the U.N.

Read 'em and weep, libshit. Any other benchmarks you're curious on? I do know China doesn't have massive concentration camps set up all over the entire nation to process suspected "immigrants" and send them to countries that they don't even belong to. At least with the supposed "genocide of the yogurts(uighur)!!" they have their supposed camps in the actual homeland of muslims in China. Literally even hypothetical state department propaganda about this shit isn't as evil as the United States. But eh, shitlibs will just wave their hand and go "BUUUT IMAGINE HOW MUCH WORSE IT IS!!"

Chinese police kill far less people each and every single year. China pours more concrete than America has done in it's entire history as it actually develops and moves the country forward into the future unlike the stagnating rural shitholes of burnt-out meth trailers in Appalachia or demunincipalized slums in major cities entirely forgotten and shoved to the side (old Flint, MI; parts of NY I grew up in). China has actually attempted to solve some of the 80s-90s slums, address poverty and doesn't have 50+ interventions on it's record for dealing with nations overseas. Turns out China respects sovereignty more than America ever did; while you can point to "Taiwan!!!" I can point to most of Latin America that the U.S has destroyed, overthrown or violently massacred for corporate interests.

I am out of post-communist country. Communism and dictatorship is a shitshow.

My great grandfather was an East German. He said the greatest tragedy of history was the Soviet Union falling. We can pull anecdotes all day. There's plenty of people here from Communist countries or even from China itself that will gladly share their experiences; including those who have visited! We even had a user pull up questions to a North Korean diplomat. Do you want to see some of these?

Average Cuban has a higher literacy rate, lower mortality rate and child mortality rate than the average American. But let me guess, since they don't have fifteen brands of cereal they are living horribly under brutal embargo and sanction! Must be all their fault!

Enough of the Gusano bullshit. We are Marxists on here that organize and apply our ideology to the present in a scientific manner in accordance with practice (praxis). I am involved with IWW, WFP. Plenty of users are in PSL, marxist caucus in DSA, etc. It is not just "red dreams"; it is a red reality that shines in the face of countless gullible libshits like you. We have won generations. Your system has earned pedophile cultists.
