You mean Chinese territory is being reintegrated after being used as a colonial drug port to drug the Chinese while stealing their wealth. Boo fucking hoo, the media is such a evil tool of propogabda making a big deal outta this and not their home grown government funded genocides and ethnic cleansing other than a “whooosie, Iraq had no wmds or that Gazan hospital indeed isn’t a hamas base”
“Pro-democracy” party which is actually just a cover for US imperialist propaganda. There’s no place for bourgeois ideas in an actual proletarian democracy that Hong Kong is becoming. This city is probably the only lib state that’s transitioning to socialism
I’ll take absolutely clueless for 300 Alex.
Democracy is dying everywhere right now. The uprising is going to be bloody and horrible when it eventually happens.
Maybe I’ll still be alive to see it. Or maybe aliens will blow us the hell up and solve all our problems.
I’m skeptical there is going to be any kind of uprising. The media algorithms are getting too good. The surveillance is getting too pervasive. The population is getting less educated.
10 years ahead of schedule.
It’s sad how many places in asia chinese imperialism has ruined.
Imperialism lmao
They don’t know what imperialism is, not their fault
I avoid using words and terms that I don’t know what they mean
Oh no, they used a word in a way I didn’t like - I guess their opinion about personal freedom and representation are completely invalid.
Ad Hominem much?
Chinese people deserve the freedom to express their political views.
Yes, Chinese people deserve freedom to express their political view. And they can do such in the democratic centralism state. Research by Western institutes (in the US for example) shows that the 95% of the people are satisfied with the government
If you want to learn more about China and unlearn a few misconceptions and propaganda we’ve all been subjected to, this wiki sums up a lot a things: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/People’s_Republic_of_China
Except the organization in question says that they are shutting down because they can’t. 95% of ppl from Hong Kong don’t want $emocratic politics?
Why is ad hominem the first thing stupid posters always grab for?
And can’t bother to learn what it means?
Saying an argument is stupid isn’t ad hominem. Saying the poster is stupid for making a stupid argument isn’t either.
Ironic response. Response said that the wrong word was used, but personally point was not addressed.
Imagine getting downvoted for this.
“Chinese imperialism” is a kinda old thing, it’s built a lot too, ya knaw, in a couple millennia
Lots of strong democratic events over the last 50 years though. There is hope still.
Hong Kong’s oldest and largest pro-
democracyCapitalism political party is moving to disbandSounds like a reason to celebrate.
I was wondering how long till a tankie wandered into the comment section to “well acktshually” us.
Waaahh waaah, everyone I disagree with is a tankie!
Yeah, the American media just telling it how it is. That’s what they do.
American Media telling it how it is.
Holy shit, what kind of stupid pill did you take before writing this? The propaganda machine got you pal. Your an agent now.
You must be joking. You think the American media isn’t part of the propaganda machine?
Your reading comprehension could really use some work.
Do you feel better now? You got on the internet and attempted to insult someone. You did good.
You are right, making fun of the mentally impaired is quite bad. I’ll have to take a hard look in the mirror tonight, and wonder how I will sleep at night.
полезные дураки.
I thought luigi was italian, not russian 😳
Of course! Dictatorship won’t through terror and torture, that always is a cause to celebrate because the group that lost might be your personal pet peeve.
You’re an idiot, tankie
Wait… what?
Because China and Hong Kong are so staunchly anti-capitalism? 😂
Super weird take.
The People’s Republic of China is a socialist country
Since when are socialists pro-capitalism?
If you had more than a single iota of geopolitical knowledge you would understand how fucking dumb that statement is.
Oh boy. Angered the American libs. Freeeeedom!
Huh. What? I am definitely not coming to the defense of capitalism. Just trying to help you understand that it’s noy a relevant factor here.
Your original comment is confused at best. China is communist in many ways but absolutely has a thriving capitalist based economy. The idea that the CCP would be threatened by a “capitalist party” is incoherent and silly.
You’re making some super huge leaps and I’m not sure why.
Why do you think China has a capitalist economy? Because it is thriving? It is indeed! But this is unrelated to capitalism. Capitalism is not economy good and international market access, socialism share potato and live happily.
Capitalism is the control of means of production by a few individuals and exploitation of the workers enabled by this private possession. In China, the small and medium companies are allowed to be private but the bigger companies or the ones in critical fields are nationalized. Something like 80% of investment firms are public as well

I never said they were threatened. If anyone is making huge leaps, it would be you. You’re making big assumptions based on two sentences. An American media company publishes an article about a dying liberal party in China as if that’s a bad thing. It’s only capitalistic when it’s convenient for you libturds. Otherwise, it’s a “scary state run Chinese company.” I never said capitalism doesn’t exist in the country. You have a funny way of “helping.”
thing. It’s only capitalistic when it’s convenient for you libturds. Otherwise, it’s a “scary state run Chinese company"
🙄
Okay. Sounds good. You’re on a war path against the stereotyped strawman you’ve set up, so I don’t really need to be involved anymore. Carry on. Idc.
