That person is an anarchist, and if anything, is most likely just happy that an "authoritarian" leader is killed. Because why would one even do material analysis or have any critical support at the bare minimum?

Now Azza, the one who is mostly featured in this post. That person gets really offended that people aren't pouring their hearts out for Charlie Kirk or the United Healthcare CEO that got bagged. Goes on about morals and such for rich white people but when Iranian kids are bombed? Then it's worth it.

I'll keep this in mind from now on.

The thread this post was made in is about Ludwig and Michael Reeves traveling in China.

 

Transcript of the posts here:

Azza

We can expect Iran to attack any country with US bases or allegiance to the USA or Israel in the area. But god damn. What a day. I know it's probably hopeless optimism but I really hope this leads to a regime change, kicking out the theocracy and bringing back pre-revolution Iran. (In terms of secularism). My Iranian friends are very nervous but want regime change. I hope for their sake it turns out OK.

a deleted user (user 100% deleted their account after finding out that Knockout is pro-imperialism)

Care to explain why you support an elementary school being bombed in the name of regime change to bring back an oppressive monarchy?

Azza

Now that's a loaded post. Of course I don't support the bombing. I'm hopeful that it leads to positive change by removing the theocracy. I don't hope it brings back an oppressive monarchy.

a deleted user

Ah yes the positive change of checks notes killing 50+ schoolgirls in a terroristic attack. You are an imperialist dog.

Then the person got banned for calling out the pro-imperialist poster

Doomkiwi Dudes looking for a silver lining, let it go man. We're all against this, everyone here.

What are some good practices when reading? When I read, it takes a while. I've had times where I read a page up to 3-4 times before registering it and I don't know why. I feel like I am not doing something right.

My bad! I thought it'd fit nicely in the thumbnail. I'll put the text in the OP too.

This is china where one mistep can lead you to accidently landing in a forbidden area. Specificly these are around the boarders. If they fuck up though and misinterpaate one of these sites, were never going to see the two of them again. Most likely they will get tried as spies and spend the rest of their lives in a chinese jail.

~~I dunno why, but I can't add in the last picture, which has another user emphasizing on a silver lining in killing a bunch of school girls in Iran.~~

NVM I guess I had accidentally uploaded too much in a short time, was rate limited.

Anyway, a fun trivia for the user with the Australian flag. That user was angry and disgusted at the killing of the United Healthcare CEO and the killing of Charlie Kirk.

Really shows how important western lives are compared to the global south to these people.

Thank you for the link, it's helpful. Small question, is the link in the 15th source cited source broken? It keeps refreshing for me.

So-called “tankies” are supposedly “authoritarian” but imperialists don’t blink an eye when the empire justifies another aggressive and unprovoked military operation in a country thousands of miles away, when it coups other countries, when it puts sanctions on another country that result in the deaths of its citizens, and so on.

It was doubly frustrating because one person who took GREAT offense to the video, who also linked to wikipedia articles like the kidnapping of a Japanese director or the Malaysia assassination in 2017. When disputed on this, I was not allowed to talk about it because I was "some white dude in Iceland" and they however, was a child of a refugee from the Vietnam war(southern region I think?) and that there's generational trauma that somehow gives them higher authority on the opinion of this entire conversation. Who then proceeded to defend imperialism while at the same time saying they have issues with US imperialism. What am I to think about this? It was very confusing. Said person was American too.

I wasn't sure what to think of it myself, because well. I am not oppressed, I am white and living within the imperial core is a status of privilege no matter how well I am actually doing in life. Still though, that whole interaction still bothers me. Is it wrong?

ProleWiki has a good article on that here: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Imperialism#Chinese_%E2%80%9Cimperialism%E2%80%9D

I also read https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Essay:State_Capital_vs._Finance_Capital:_Why_China_is_not_--_and_Cannot_Become_--_an_Imperial_Hegemon which I thought was a very good essay.

 

Before discovering this community, I was in a different community that proudly calls itself leftist. I posted a documentary; Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang which was very eye-opening for me.

Anyway, posting that started to really upset people, saying that the documentary is PSL propaganda. That PSL is authoritarian, backed by a Chinese Maoist billionaire and that PSL is riddled with sex abuse scandals. That of course PSL would simp for DPRK because it's authoritarian. I was even called a holocaust denier for defending DPRK.

So is PSL bad? Where can I find better information on this? I've already tried looking into PSL and it all seems okay? The sex abuse scandals I am not sure about, is there more information on this? Am I being too critical on this?
