Read about the attempts to export revolution to Poland at the start of the USSRs life and how the party quickly learned that it was an utterly fruitless campaign and the people of Poland were not at all ready to accept proletarian lead installed by a foreign entity.

Both groups end up coming to the same revisionist conclusions just by taking different routes. In action they come out being broadly the same.

Trotskyists have no concept of what the imperialist bourgeoisie is and will tar and feather any country as imperialist, including the imperialised.

In their actions and their rhetoric they implicitly support the western imperialists, gumming up and arguing against any alternative not as critical support but in active and constant vitriol and opposition.

The original treatlerites

You are illiterate.

The Russian Federation is not an ethnostate lmao

The article is complete garbage, picked apart well by the other reply you had.

Not least because it spouted off the Uyghur genocide bullshit to smear China.

"Like it's the bible." You are a fucking idiot. Trotskyists call shit imperialist then when you point out that they are wrong and don't even understand the book that they pulled the term from you get accused of quote mining. Get a grip.

Trotskyists failing to understand Lenin's Imperialism for the 1000th time.

Imperialism is the stage of Capitalism where a militaristic foreign policy is developed and employed as a continuation of economic policy.

China is not doing imperialism because it trades with other nations and helps them build infrastructure and factories in win-win negotiations. When was the last time China got a trade deal or negotiated settlement because it pointed a load of guns and missiles at its potential trade partner?

Just childish and pathetic both sides-ism of the social fascists.

You are suggesting that there is no truth, that attempting to grasp at truth is pointless and to do so is simply picking sides.

The US propaganda against China is wrong. The overwhelming evidence against the US is true.

The idea that there is no truth to look for, to grasp towards is fascist logic.

As Lenin's Imperialism shows, foreign policy in capitalism is a continuation of economic policy. The power of the monopoly firms and finance capital forces the hands of the politicians to adopt a militaristic foreign policy, so that they can do regime change or take over natural resources or subjugate a local population for cheap labour, to combat the falling rates of profit.

Unless her domestic policy seeks to cripple the political power held by the monopolists and finance capital, regardless of her stated foreign policy choices, she will end up capitulating to the capitalists or be forced from her position for another politician who will.

But she already advocates for the god awful foreign policy decisions capital loves, so the chances of her actually challenging capital's power is basically null.

Advocating for the US to intervene against China for Taiwan separatists serves international capital only, advocating for gaza to be regime changed if it elects Hamas again serves international capital only. There would be no reason to support these policies if she were genuinely anti-capitalist, or advocating so-called domestic anti-capitalism.

I don't mean to rail on your position, just clarifying some thoughts I had out loud.

One Piece is one of the wokest pieces of media I've ever seen come out of Japan. These people are hilarious.

Not an anime but I was reading reviews for the new Spartacus House of Ashur series, and some people were skewering it for being too woke for having a black gladiatrix be the star, saying the creators had forgotten what made the original great. Spartacus, the series about a slave rebellion, with like 3 aggressively gay relationships with on-screen sex scenes, with a black woman slave who becomes one of their main fighters. Just wild trolling from people who were watching (if they watched it all) with one eye on the TV and the other lodged on Facebook right-wing rage bait on their phone.

Those citations from that page come back to a book written by Jasper Becker, a right-wing journalist expelled from Hong Kong in the 90s and who became a Tory Councillor in the 2010s.

His book plays fast and loose with statistics, and the margins of error are huge - somewhere between 15 and 55 million people died in the famine but this citation seemingly suggests 65 million died, above that even cited in the books Wikipedia article. Reading the citations in the book's article leads you to a number of American (and American Chinese) authored articles that all pluck various numbers from this vast range.

Even a cursory amount of research and poking around links those various citations led to makes the presented state of affairs that seemed so ironclad and clear cut almost melt into meaningless. What else can be expected from anti-communist hit pieces so readily shared by idiots hoping to spread atrocity propaganda.
