Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse. We need to discuss ways to combat this. One group- memes or something is wholly controlled by Chinese state actors. What do you think?

    ML stands for Marxist-Leninist, that’s more or less the Tell. They’re not merely socialist, but authoritarian. Like MAGA, they treat dissent as hostile.

      “Authoritarian” in this case meaning what, exactly? That the states set up by Marxist-Leninists have lasted for longer than a few years, and built up the necessary state structures to protect the gains of socialism?

        It’s always funny to watch tankies try to justify their boot licking. You’re not fooling anyone, bud.

          It’s always funny to watch shitlibs have no response and have to resort to lazy insults

            Maybe the part where you defend authoritarian actions (like hostility against dissidents) as simply “necessary state structures to protect the gains of socialism”?
