Anything is a DE if you believe hard enough…

(I use arch, BTW.)

Can confirm, best DE.

It’s to reaffirm our own superiority, because even the script can’t install Arch like we can…

The american leftists that continue to allow America to keep being capitalist by not acting and instead just reading the theory without doing much other than feeling better about themselves because they read a book. That is most of the American ‘Communists/Leftists’ I have interacted with

I appreciate the apology for the jab and i as well apologize for seeming somewhat resistant and bitter. Most of my problem with china comes from how they handle the digital front and has kind of left a bad taste in my mouth for how they treat their citizens, so it’s really hard for me to imagine they’re doing socialism correctly. I will probably go and look into the sources you linked.

You say that as if the white american leftists do not pride themselves on having read all of the theory, yet still support our capitalistic system even having read all of the theory

You should send those books to china and see if they’ll read them.

I support that.

I will admit, I have not read the source theory, but I engage often with communists (most of my immidiate sphere are communists) enough to get a lot of it (I am actually an Anarcho-Communist, just to note). But my problem, as always, with a lot of you people who are obsessed with trying to use China as an example of communism, is the fact that theory and practice are two very different things. Very few places if any even follow your own theory from what I have gleaned from other comrades.

It is also really easy to pressure people to give the answers you want to for those kind of questions if you are an authoritarian state. Also from the cyber security sector, most citizens of China desperately try and get their hands on vpns or use tor in order to be able to actually access the external world, which is never a good sign and does not scream “We’re free!” to me.

Also fox news is abhorant, as is all American backed official news outlets. I use lemmy, did you really think that I watch state provided news? Or was that an ad hominim because people here dislike Fox specifically?

Though you’ll probably deny this article as valid because it harms your perception of China being a Communist state, and usually people do not like they’re conspiracy theories to be challenged by actual fact.

Additionally, besides the argument of whether it’s communist or not, it is not a good country and if that’s what communism looks like then I actually want none of it. They have no ability for free speech or even protests. Say what you want about it’s economics, but that is not how humans should be forced to live.

Can we be honest and acknowledge the fact that if you’re doing socialism or communism correctly, your exports are going to be severely lower than capitalist shitholes like China and the USA? A system that values the workers is not going to have as much force behind it economically as a system that just uses as many laborers as possible as wage slaves. So China having a large export implies that they are not actually doing communism in any real way. Any claims that china is actually communist and it supports it’s peoples wellbeing is literally an American left wing conspiracy theory.

CHINA BAD AND USA BAD! They both fucking suck! But hey, keep defending the ‘communist’ survailence state that is one of the largest exporters in the global market. I am sure the workers feel like they own their profits.

I like to think this meme is meant to be an attack on Tankies

Define ‘Break’…

It really does!

what is this ‘autosave’ you speak of?
(I use Arch, btw)

As someone who likes access to most of the internet, I am a fan of my OS having IPV4, yes

I use tiling too (i3), it’s more about wayland sucking than the tiling, but combining those 2 results in a lot of frustrating little issues that need specific rules for different software.

unpopular opinion: tiling wms and wayland are nothing but a flashy headache… I use Arch (with i3, btw)

Your police murder you in public?
