Ah, a YouTuber named “habitual linecrosser”. Perhaps the “source: it came to me in a dream” commenter was too generous.

Are you claiming you know this from classified information?

Could you cite this please?

What are you talking about have you never heard of emperor Comrade Puyi?

Really good book! A little bit inaccessible in the first two chapters though.

Jokes aside, a good start is to join a socialist org, participate, and start developing yourself politically. I believe cowbee has a good reading list.

But only if you’re doing what needs to be done.

And if Russia falls it strengthens your enemy at home. An independent shitty Russia is closer to proletarian revolution than a US dominated Russia, and that is what would happen if the US defeated Russia.

Also even if you believe that the democratically elected leadership of China are a new distinct class, they are empirically not capitalists and empirically not violent on anywhere close to a comparable scale to capitalist leadership. Their politics are that of mutual cooperation and advancement because 1a) they understand imperial extraction is economically inefficient in the long term 1b) have sufficient control over the state and economy to prevent it 2) they need strong allies to protect themselves from imperialist encirclement and imperial powers keep trying to weaken the rest of the world

(I don’t agree that the Chinese elected leadership constitute a new class, I’m just saying for the sake of talking to folks who do)

It would be helpful to give specific examples to where you think sources are being misused instead of generally saying that they are being misused.

Could you point out a specific instance where they “they rather cite segments fitting their narrative stands” in a way that misrepresents information?

Not a dude, please don’t “bro” me

Here is another helpful link, on citizen perception of the importance of democracy and whether their government is democratic.

It was founded by a former NATO secretary so it has a pro-western bias.

Here is a chart sourced from its its 2024 report. As you can see Chinese people have more faith in democracy and the democratic nature of their government than westerners do.

The whole brainwashing thing is nonsense, as Cowbee pointed out you misread the data on the 11 percent. It seems like you are misreading data to support your preconceived notions.

Thats not how source verification works! Credibility=/= verification! Some nobody citing a lot of firsthand accounts of notable state actors admitting that they did a thing that would be bad for them to admit might be less credible than a mainstream news platform only citing secondary sources but is giving you more verifiable information.

China is a democracy, even studies by conservative western institutions show Chinese people have higher satisfaction with their government, more belief in the importance of democracy, and more belief in the democratic nature of their government than western European and American citizens do for their own governments.

They have a more comprehensive democracy too. Consultative processes and deliberative processes are enshrined in institutions in a way that they are not within western bourgeois democracies.

It had to rely on a last resort as opposed to its primary defensive system which constricts its design in a big way, its stealth component.

For me it isn’t really worth thinking about unfalsifiable things? If you’re looking for guidance, community, and inclusion, go join a socialist org or a queer community center?

I thought the US killed millions, not 100,000s?

And that isn’t democratic because?

Also lol Wikipedia

Read Rosa Luxemburg on the limitations of unions, you’ll have a better idea on why China prefers their union system.

How do they not meet the standard?

They have a democratic state which owns most of the MoP.

If you don’t think China is democratic, what would they have to do in order to meet the definition?

A democratic state where the proletariat are in control owning the MoP fundamentally isn’t capitalist, “state capitalist” or otherwise. Capitalism requires specific social relations that aren’t met within socialized ownership.
