I've been all over the political spectrum and I can tell you right now, if you want actual pragmatic results for your country, communism is the only way.

Post your "but communism killed x" or "communism doesn't work!!!", and I'll debunk them straight away.

By the way, do not confuse communists for the vast majority of people you meet in the west. The west never had a taste of marxism-leninism.

Leftism is not communism, and socdems and "democratic" socialists aren't communists either. Welfarists (i want free shit) ain't communists either. Anarchists are morons who don't understand that nothing works without authority (read Hegel).

So let's be clear what we're talking about. We're talking about China, the DPRK and Vietnam.

Asian countries have successfully implemented the model which is why they're still alive today and the soviet union isn't. It fell to the trap of liberalism. (Thanks gorbachev)

In my opinion, if it weren't for the CCP, Chinese people would be doing a lot of bad things abroad. That's why i'm not fan of Chinese people who say they hate China and the CCP because they have no inner core. They will switch sides depending on what's more convenient and do a lot of bad things in the process.

Whether it's Chinese people in surrounding countries with a big Chinese diaspora, or Chinese people in the West, I have a big problem trusting them.

As for the mainland, thank god for the CCP.

I've seen the HK riots, and they looked as bad as the riots in France. (Young French people act like modern day barbarians).

Look at what they do outside of China, scam centers run by these people just because they love money so much, they are willing to literally engage in human trafficking.

I'm Chinese origin too by the way so I'm allowed to criticise my own people.

At least 165 schoolgirls were reportedly killed when their primary school in Minab, Iran, was struck during the U.S.-Israeli war. Most were between seven and twelve years old. Subsequent reporting has pointed towards an American strike apparently intended for a nearby military facility, although the United States has not formally accepted responsibility.

Now the USS Abraham Lincoln, after participating in American operations against Iran, is arriving at Laem Chabang with nearly 5,000 sailors and Marines aboard. Many are expected to spend their shore leave in Pattaya.

I find the sequence disgusting. Children are killed during a military campaign, and months later thousands of members of the military involved arrive in Thailand for their R&R, while the conversation here is about hotels, bars, prostitution and how much money they will spend.

Pattaya makes this particularly grotesque because we have seen this relationship before. During the Vietnam War, Thailand was an important base for the American war machine. U-Tapao hosted U.S. forces while American aircraft bombed Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. American troops committed documented rapes and gang rapes of Vietnamese women and girls, alongside massacres and other atrocities.

Meanwhile, Pattaya developed on the recreational side of that war. American servicemen came for R&R, and hotels, bars and commercial sex expanded around them. While Asian women elsewhere experienced American military power through bombing and sexual violence, Thai women became part of an economy providing American servicemen with sex and entertainment.

More than fifty years later, the historical echo is revolting. Another American military campaign leaves civilians dead, including more than 160 girls killed at school, and another American military force arrives in Thailand looking for a good time.

There are even Thai women online excitedly talking about finding American husbands among the arriving servicemen. If we can imagine these men as husbands and future fathers, perhaps we should imagine the Iranian parents who expected their daughters to come home from school.

And no, an aircraft carrier does not wage war by itself. American military power exists because people voluntarily operate its ships, maintain its aircraft, load its weapons and make the machinery function. Spreading responsibility across thousands of people does not make responsibility disappear.

Imagine 165 Thai schoolgirls being killed during a foreign military campaign. Then imagine thousands of servicemen from that military arriving somewhere else months later to drink, party and buy sex while local businesses celebrate the money they will bring. The obscenity would be obvious.

Pattaya prospered once before on the recreational end of an American war in which Asian women were bombed, raped and killed. More than fifty years later, it is preparing to play that role again.

165 schoolgirls are dead. The carrier sails on. Its sailors get their R&R. Pattaya gets their money. And once again, Asian women's bodies sit at both ends of the story.

I don't want to hear it.

This man is putting his life on the line to bring communism to the West. He and Chris Helali are being targeted by the US state department.

What now to all these retards who called the ACP a fed party?

IT'S MORE LIKELY THAT YOU ARE THE FEDS HERE.

If you don't offer critical support to the ACP right now, I will consider ALL of you massive treasonous scum.

If the US state really dismantles the ACP, I will not cry when Trump puts you all in a camp. You will all deserve it.

When they come for the ACP and you don't speak up, don't worry, it will be your turn soon as well.

You: "Which country lifted the most people out of extreme poverty in human history?"

Them: "I don't know."

You: "China."

You: "What ideology does China officially follow?"

Them: "Communism."

Them: "No, China is capitalist."

You: "If capitalism is what made China successful, why hasn't any capitalist country matched China's poverty reduction?"

I've been banned from multiple self-described leftist subreddits simply for defending the ACP (American Communist Party) against what I consider to be rabid, dishonest accusations.

Unlike the people making those arguments, I'm going to say something I actually believe is true:

The average Western leftist is racist.

Have you ever noticed that the Western left almost never supports socialist countries where the majority of the population isn't white? They always find another excuse not to.

China? "Not real socialism."

DPRK? No support.

Cuba? No support.

Vietnam? No support.

Laos? No support.

Venezuela under Maduro? You could barely hear a word of support, even when he was illegally captured.

Instead, many of these same people point to Scandinavian countries as examples of what the left should aspire to, despite those countries being capitalist welfare states and, by many measures, even more capitalist than countries like China that they constantly criticize.

Think about that contradiction. If China is supposedly "too capitalist," why are Scandinavian countries held up as the ideal? The standards are completely inconsistent.

To me, this is racism. There is a clear pattern where socialist projects in non-white countries are treated with suspicion or outright hostility, while white-majority countries receive endless benefit of the doubt.

And I'm not letting some LGBT activists off the hook either. Many of them engage in similar behavior. They weaponize their sexuality to shut down any criticism of their political methods, then turn around and apply the same double standards toward non-white countries and movements. They are just as guilty of reinforcing these patterns.

How they shut down the ACP and people like us is a perfect example of how this works.

First, people claim the ACP is bigoted or "MAGA communist," despite those accusations being false. (They are actually the bigoted ones)

Second, if you try to correct the misinformation or present facts that contradict the narrative, you get banned.

Third, they continue repeating the same accusations after silencing anyone who challenges them.

If you have to ban people for correcting falsehoods, it suggests your position can't survive scrutiny.

Frankly, I think many of these people are not only racist but deeply dishonest. Some of the tactics they use resemble the behavior of scammers. They knowingly spread false information, silence corrections, and then pretend there is consensus because they've removed everyone who disagrees.

The strange part is that many of us in the Global South genuinely support the ACP. We are tired of the constant demonization of the United States and the simplistic narratives pushed by parts of the Western left.

I like the United States. I celebrated the Fourth of July with American friends because I respect what American independence represented, while still acknowledging the crimes the country has committed throughout its history. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. It is possible to appreciate a country while also criticizing it.

The Western left, however, often seems incapable of that kind of nuance. America is portrayed as uniquely evil, yet they almost never support any alternative that actually exists. They reject socialist countries one after another, especially those outside the West.

Even more frustrating is that they refuse to listen to people from the Global South who disagree with them. Instead of engaging with us, they dismiss our perspectives because they don't fit their worldview.

Ironically, I think this allows many Western leftists, particularly those from Europe or North America, to distance themselves from the historical crimes of the empires they inherited. By endlessly condemning the West while refusing to listen to non-white voices or support non-white socialist movements, they can present themselves as victims while ignoring the biases in their own politics.

That is why I call them racist. They claim to stand in solidarity with oppressed people around the world, yet when those people build socialist movements outside the white Western world, they are met with suspicion, hostility, or silence.

These people trash talk the ACP on their shitty subreddits like r/theredleft and when you point out their lies, they ban you.

I'm not American. I'm not an ACP member. I don't represent the ACP in any shape or form.

And yet, defending the ACP has been a side occupation of mine.

Why?

Because for years, I have seen western leftists steer the boat in a non-Marxist direction while claiming to be following Marx.

They all adopted anti-China, anti-DPRK, anti-USSR positions, and only recently when China is suddenly cool, a lot of them are on board.

The ACP is one of the few parties to throw their genuine support behind anti-imperialism by supporting Iran and Russia against NATO tyranny.

And there's also another spot in hell for the anti-China freaks who spent their whole life defaming a country of 1.2 billion people. Their words aren't mere words. They hurt communist reputation worldwide with extreme lies.

If you come from these places who love trashing the ACP because they do a better outreach than you, f you.

You are not revolutionaries. You are a bunch of fat-asses who got nothing better to do than be allies of the right.

The world will never align with you except your small European and American RACIAL SUPREMACIST cliques.

You represent the highest form of bourgeois culture.

And then a bunch of libs will defend them because poor extremist uyghurs! China bad!

No. This is the reality. Hey r/videos, r/China and r/ADVChina and every other subreddit who banned me for calling out your support of terrorists, take this you fuckers.

https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/3271296/world-uyghur-congress-claims-unfair-trial-in-bomb-case

"The World Uyghur Congress (WUC) has condemned a Thai court ruling sentencing two Uyghur men to death over the 2015 Erawan Shrine bombing, citing alleged violations of fair trial rights."

FUCK YOU WORLD UYGHUR CONGRESS. FUCK YOUR MEMBERS. FUCK ALL OF YOU. MAY CHINA DESTROY YOUR TERRORISTIC AMBITIONS FOREVER.

Their pm announced the creation of their own CIA in collab with Kash Patel which they haven’t had since the 40s.

I know a lot of us are fond of Japanese stuff but where is the threshold? Will you still be consuming Japanese products if they literally revived the empire tomorrow?

They surely are on fascist path.

I actually stopped consuming a lot of Hollywood stuff knowing their involvement in helping the US government in their horrible wars.

Where do we draw the line?

Mayotte has the highest poverty rate among French departments, with approximately 77% to 84% of the population living below the national poverty line. As one of the most disadvantaged parts of the European Union, residents face extreme poverty, widespread lack of running water, and high unemployment, often reliant on French aid.

Of course France doesn't give a shit about Mayotte. It's full of black people. Imagine if the population was of fairer skin tone, that wouldn't stand.

And that's why countries like Burkina Faso decided to break free from France. All this aid amounted for shit. It's just a way for the french to keep Mayotte dependent and poor.

How's that for virtuous Europe? We need to call out Europe more for their blatant disregard of their own populations.

These people can claim they love their country, so why the f are they in Asia in places like Thailand and Vietnam?

Every time someone says North Korea is bad because people are leaving, I will always bring up the stat of Americans and other westerners leaving their homes.

Last year, 180000 Americans left their country to live abroad. That's a huge number.

Americans are lucky to have a strong passport so they can live anywhere they want. I don't blame them for leaving. No one wants to live in an environment where they're struggling to survive but at the same time they must realise the immense privilege they have over other people of the world. People in the global south cannot afford to leave easily due to lack of resources AND weak passports.

Your average African has to save up several months of salary just to apply for a visa for a country abroad. They don't have visa-free access like Americans.

People can claim to lofty ideals but the reason people move out is due to almost always poverty, not politics.

If that many people are leaving the USA, then the richest capitalist country is performing as badly as one of the poorest communist countries out there.

That should shut the anti-communists up.
