    They are a minority that have opposing views. Just as any ideology, they have flaws and they just accept those flaws with open arms.

    You could go there and say: china owns 80% of cobalt companies in Congo. You’d get banned.

    Can say that china has far higher inequality than the EU. You’d get banned.

    You could say that the Chinese government subsidising smartphone and electric vehicle market in china is trickle down economics. You’d get banned. (I get cheap high quality stuff because Chinese citizens their taxes pay for the profit margins of the Chinese shareholders.)

    You’d get banned.

    I honestly just wonder if they are economically illiterate morons, to be honest ☺️

      They try to play themselves off as communists but I can’t say I’ve ever seen a single one of them make a legitimate comment about communist ideals. What they really are is a propaganda mouthpiece for the Chinese and Russian governments.

        Historically, groups that have “communist” in their name have been Soviet mouthpieces. Not all of them, and the ideology doesn’t require it by any means, but it happened a lot. Conversely, if they had “socialist” in their name, they were more likely to want nothing to do with that shit.
