As I said, I don’t think the poster was intending to promote them in any way.

Neutrality Studies is not a communist outlet and i hope that everyone here is aware of that and approaches any content that they put out with an awareness of the possibility that their guests are going to be people with some reactionary views.

Everything you wrote about Joti Brar and CPGB-ML is true and it is important that people are aware of this, but i don’t see how that is grounds for reporting this post.

I don’t think the intention of the poster was promoting either the CPGB-ML nor Joti Brar. I haven’t watched the video yet but from the title it doesn’t seem like it’s promoting those reactionary views which you mentioned but rather providing a geopolitical perspective on the Ukraine proxy war and the West’s larger obsession with Russia.

In that sense I think it is acceptable so long as the poster adds a content warning that the speaker being platformed has reactionary views on LGBT issues. People share articles and videos from much more reactionary sources than the CPGB-ML. Or do you think that every military or geopolitical analysis that has ever been shared here has always been strictly by pro-LGBT communists?

Good point.

a) fines that do not scale with at least income if not net wealth are only really punishing for the poor and a mere nuisance for the rich

b) poor people are much more likely to be stopped and charged by police than rich and influential people; poor people also have to drive themselves more as they can’t afford to have others do the driving for them

c) when a charge goes to court only the well off can really engage in a legal battle; poor people have neither the means nor the time to engage with the justice system, so they very often end up not even fighting the charges

Unless you solve these issues first no amount of reform is going to fix the underlying problem.

Yemen really might just be the most based country on earth…after the DPRK.

No Mao either. Makes me sad…

You can ease them into it by first going on holiday in China. Once they see how full of shit western propaganda is about communist states it’s not as big of a leap to suggest visiting the DPRK one day.

I definitely agree with your message.

do you have any idea how to improve?

Sorry, i’m not good with memes. I’m a bit of a boomer in regards to this online culture stuff. I leave the meme production to the youngins.

I get what you’re trying to say, but i’m not sure the meme format fits the message. We’re not rejecting the above in favor of communism, because all those things come with communism. You said as much in the title but the meme itself could still be misleading to someone who doesn’t read the title.

We always say that other countries cannot simply one-to-one copy everything China does, but this is one case where it is absolutely the right move to copy China’s anti-desertification campaign. I hope that they either send people to China to observe and learn China’s techniques or ask China to send a few experts over to teach them. This is not just an environmental initiative, it has very positive long term impacts on the local economy and agriculture.

Irredeemable sick society…

Another day, another DPRK banger.

Inshallah 🙏

The DPRK never miss (in foreign policy). They are literally the world’s moral compass in geopolitical matters.

i love you warmongers

ah yes, we “warmongers” who warn against bombing the energy infrastructure of another country because we don’t want a war

a nuclear war caused by China

talks about Russian-Chinese pipelines getting bombed and then claims that the resulting war would have been “caused by China”… 🤡

Rookie numbers

It’s one thing to bomb the pipeline of a completely cucked and subservient vassal state like Germany that will just meekly take it and say “thank you sir, may i have some more”.

It’s another to do it to a sovereign nuclear superpower like China. At that point you’re declaring war on one and a half billion people who produce one third of the entire world’s manufacturing output.

Good luck and have fun with the consequences.

After Tiananmen they can’t believe in #1

But they did. For a long time they still believed that they could do achieve their goals in China via a slower more subversive approach than the overt 1989 color revolution attempt, via gradual elite corruption and infection with liberal ideology.

This is why up until the “pivot to Asia” happened you still had fairly positive coverage of China in the Western media and cultural sphere. In the 90s and 00s China was portrayed relatively positively in the media. The war propaganda faucet to demonize and dehumanize Chinese people in the eyes of Westerners was only turned on relatively recently.

If they really thought there was no hope of regime change after 1989 they would have started this much earlier when China was much weaker. They didn’t because they didn’t understand China (they still don’t) and they deluded themselves into thinking things were still going their way.

#2 is possible but requires that the elite mistakes money for power

Well, that is how they think. But that’s not the point that was being made. The point is that the logic of capitalism made it impossible for them to resist outsourcing to China, because the profits were too juicy to pass up. China understood this and took full advantage of it.

By the time the western elites noticed their catastrophic strategic mistake it was too late. Now they are panicking and for the last decade or so have been scrambling to try and find a way to reverse what has happened before the window of opportunity permanently closes.

Hence their increasingly reckless and self-harming escalations, with Ukraine, Taiwan, now Iran… They feel they are out of time and nothing is working anymore so they have to constantly take crazier and crazier gambles in hopes of digging themselves out of the hole.
