The great misunderstanding of hard left leaning western folks is that neither Russia nor China are socialist or communist.
Just like their hard right leaning counterparts they’re stuck in a mindset from the first half of the past century.
Supporters of autocratic state capitalist regimes like China and Russia also aren’t left-leaning.
Not truly sctosmen either.
What part of “authoritarian state capitalism” is left wing to you?
I don’t know. I’m not a fucking tankie. They are masters at cognitive dissonance.
If they’re definitionally wrong, why call “no true Scotsman”?
They are, they’re just ignorant
Depends which hard left, I know hard/far left people who hate them
I’m not happy with this development, but I’m slightly amused by the irony being that lemmy.ml is pro-china and has been moderated as such.
How is lemmy.ml pro china?
ML stands for Marxist leninist, which means they love authoritarian regimes that don’t like the US. The number of them that unironically stan Stalin is baffling.
ML is machine learning. It means they love teaching AI to overthrow the illuminati government lizard people. Can’t believe u didn’t know that, kinda embarrassing
Sees some use in Mali and for some websites about machine learning. Use is relatively rare elsewhere.
Oh no… It’s retarded.
.ml domain names used to be free (together with .ga I think it was) through freenom so it might just be that they snagged themselves a free domain that just happened to be ml.
Not saying you couldn’t be right but not everything is quite as well thought out as it first seems.
I was curious what lemmy.ml has to say about this but it seems the linked post was deleted in the meantime 🤡
The poster was banned for trolling but I saw a comment showing that it is real.
It is definitely blocked.

West Taiwan*
Saying that is what China wants.
You’re reaffirming the one China policy and keeping the status quo.
Conflating Taiwan and China means Taiwan can never move onto independence.
Taiwan seems very independent already though and the vast majority of the world feels the same way.
This took a major hit just a few years ago when the UK officially backed out.
It’s my fault. I signed up for it before I realized it was a pro China instance and the other day I said I’m not a Communist.
I feel like I might have legitimately helped as well by mocking them incessantly for being campists and not socialists
Are there any lemmy instances within China? 🤔
Lemmy.world still works
Guess they’re not tankies then.
Not tankie enough*
This is hilarious to me. I haven’t really had much opportunity to interact with them before so just today I got into a discussion about how Americans weren’t the most propagandized people in the world because N Korea exists. Apparently NK is a pretty cool place and I just refuse to believe it bc I’m a propagandized American (oh sorry, they say USian for some reason).
Their flair for supporting LatAm anti-american groups has caused them to pick up the LatAm chip on the shoulder that nobody else uses “America” to refer to the whole of North and South America like they do, and instead use it to specifically denote the US.
China*
Please stop saying “mainland China”. It implies Taiwan is part of China, at least to some.

It means without Hong Kong.
Hong kong also isn’t part of china
The official name of Taiwan’s government is Republic of China, and it’s the continuation of the government that controlled all of China before Mao’s uprising.
So I’m not sure your argument makes sense. They claim to be the legitimate Chinese government in their own name.
They claim to be independent, the name is something given to them by (you guessed it) China.
They claim to be independent
They actually don’t.
Edit: People downvoting this have absolutely no clue at all about Taiwanese politics and don’t even bother googling “Taiwan independence”. If they did, they’d knew that Taiwan never formally declared independence.
