Even if you adopt hardline Marxism-Leninism-Maoism as an ideology, the modern state of China has applied so much pro-capitalist revisionism to it that it's a shell of its former self. Today, Maoist parties are suppressed in China.

I'm not a Maoist by a long shot, but I can at least appreciate the fact that the ones shouting "revisionism!" the most are the ones who have most bastardized their own texts.

All of these roll off my back except for the one slur that leftists use against leftists: "liberal"

Really? I don't like fantasy much, didn't know anything about the former stuff going in, and ended up liking it despite the disjointed nature of the first episode.

Doing two timelines in parallel was... A narrative choice... But once I got my bearings it was plenty good.

Western standards are extremely far-reaching.

Fascism abolishes bourgeois democracy without abolishing bourgeois rule itself. […]

Look no further than the capitalist class at the top of the CCP. Its imperialist initiatives. Its reactionary treatment of Muslims, LGBT people, etc.

Inb4 internal propaganda. Nazis say Jews got great swimming pools.

So in worldnews, being cringe is bannable if it's against the CCP but not the US.

I also paraphrased an upvoted comment on this subreddit that calls people who call it the CCP a racist Nazi.

And you don't think orientalism (the real kind) is also racist? That's a weird nitpick you tried to employ.

If you stalked my comment history, then you're being extremely selective and disingenuous, or very lazy.

"Death to Amerikkka" is not a critique either. But it is allowed by moderators. Do you condemn that equally?

A political party is not a race.

Death to the CCP.

According to moderators, even using the word "CCP" makes you a racist orientalist Nazi.

If that sounds like the neolib tactic of calling all criticism of Israel (or even the Netanyahu regime) "antisemitic" that's because it is.
