What’s up with this straight up pro-china and pro-russia stuff on Lemmy lately?

It’s not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly.

Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.

Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?

      Didn’t realize you were asking for non-US examples. Here’s Germany cracking down on dissent violently. Bloody May Day is a direct massacre of leftists.

      One party systems can be democratic, as is the case in the PRC. The DPRK is also fairly democratic, it is a coalition government primarily led by the WPK, but also led by a religious Chongduist party and a Social Democratic party.

      All you’ve done is repeat Red Scare nonsense, you don’t genuinely analyze anything and think Chinese people cannot think for themselves, which is chauvanism. I am not going to apologize for being a communist.

          Turkey is in the process of joining the EU, is this just you saying only those white enough count? What about the Republic of Korea, that massacred 1000s in Gwang-Ju despite being set up to model western democracy?

          As for one-party states, what’s important is that the people have an impact on policy and the direction of the state, which is factually higher in the PRC. Choosing which party doesn’t matter nearly as much as choosing policy and direction.

          Laughing at the DPRK being a coalition government based on approval voting doesn’t actually counter it. This is just more of your Euro-chauvanism bleeding through.

          If you were a Chinese citizen, you would not be scared. You would not be worried about censorship unless you were a capitalist. Again, you incessantly put words in the mouths of Chinese citizens and say you don’t believe them, nor trust even western polling in China. There’s nothing you’d believe, because of your Euro-supremacist attitude.

          I live in the US, and those with my views are jailed or killed for speaking out. No western country is a democracy, all are dictatorships of capital that depend on imperialism. Acting smugly superior for being European despite the neocolonialism and imperialism directly subsidizing your life and the terror the west inflicts on the global south is why you need to do some major self-crit.
