So what I'm hearing is it doesn't matter if you're ignorant about the way China works because the US media told you Xi is an evil dictator who controls everything and you believed them. Got it.

Adrian Zens is integral to the Uyghur Human Rights Project.

This is honestly pretty dismaying. This isn't meant as a put down because it is outside of your control but we've got to work on investigative literacy as a country if so many people are having a hard time doing simple stuff like this.

Then he was a fool who's actions contributed to the murder of hundreds of thousands.

Most of the current US naval command at the time later said the bombings were completely unnecessary. Your rhetoric is unsupported historical revisionism with the purpose of providing rhetorical cover for war crimes.

Google "Jewish scholars double genocide myth" and be ashamed you'd ever use the phrase "red fash" and then do better.

How does this antisemitism always show up in anticommunism? /s

He decided to make the bomb. He knew what bombs are used for.

Ww2 started because everyone bent over for the Germans and Japanese, which encouraged them

This is extremely simplified and comes off as silly. German appeasement was partially because France and Britain wanted Germany to attack the USSR, partially because they needed time to rearm. The US empire had a policy of provocation and containment of the Japanese empire.

In the era of nuclear powers wars are done with non nuclear proxies to avoid a nuclear exchange.

WW2 was pre-nuclear weapons. It turns out that changing material conditions makes old responses inappropriate.

Do you want nuclear war? Because nato and Russia engaging in direct combat is a path to that. I know some US citizens believe that the US has a nuclear missile intercept program so they won't be affected, but no such system exists and is effective. If one warship fires on another it could lead to a chain of events that kills us all

Do you think only the successful revolutions have been orthodox marxist or orthodox ML?

You are free to follow the example of libertarian socialists and electoral socialists, but I'd prefer if you didn't get yourself killed. Why do you only like ideologies that aren't successful?

No, I was suggesting that tankie came to describe USSR supporters

No, it started that way? Do you mean started to be more all encompassing? I literally explained the origin of the term one comment ago. Also, I dont see how this

" Imagine thinking Chinese workers own the means of production, or not even knowing where the term “tankie” comes from. "

-can mean what you say you meant.

(which modern apologists project onto Russia, as if the wall never fell).

Anyone who has researched the USSR enough to cut through capitalist propaganda knows Russia is now a neolib-ish bourgeois democracy.
