What would you call the position that defends authoritarian communism even to the point of justifying genocide and brutal suppression of opposition and free press?

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 year ago

Some kind of ultra-leftism maybe?

I don’t support justifying genocide. Since you’re probably talking about Xinjiang though, do you think the US actually cares about Muslims in China considering its actions in the Middle East?

I'm an American and I care, so at least partially yes, America does care. And because we have a democracy, the government (at least imperfectly) reflects the priorities of the people.

But I also agree with the other poster that doesn't really have anything to do with anything we were taking about

The only thing our government reflects is the priorities of capital..
