They list accomplishments of the party, yeah, but that’s because they have accomplishments they can point to.
And they also prohibit you from criticizing them if you don’t agree with their policies. I definitely do not want to be forced to love a country that doesn’t care what their people says.
It’s a lot better than how my American school tried to get me to worship slave owners like Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.
Fuck that shit. Criticise. You are free to do so without the government knocking on your door, unlike in China.
Dude, this may be breaching opsec, but my comrades have had DEA and FBI knock on their doors because of affiliation with anarchist organizations and connection to BLM leadership. Please don’t tell me what cops here do or what I have the freedom to do. I live here and I’ve seen people get arrested. Just last month an elderly guy was shot and killed in an FBI raid over a tweet.
We’re free to criticize as long as we keep quiet about it and don’t actually try anything. The place I live absolutely will kill people if need be. I’m definitely not free to be open and critical wherever I go. My boss will fire my ass if he knew my politics. I’ve been fired for unionizing attempts at previous jobs. Is that freedom? Freedom of speech without the freedom to do shit about it? I don’t subscribe to this liberal horseshit of raising awareness or raising voices, or that my ability to say certain things is my greatest freedom. Fuck that, I would take a free house, comfortable existence, a better job, and healthcare if it meant never opening my mouth again. You understand me? I want to do shit now, actual physical things and topple this whole capitalist framework.
I know China’s not the solution, but rather the answer is movement within America that could learn from Chinese Marxists and apply their methodology within an American context. International collaboration is the answer, ending American imperialism is the answer, and a fully class conscious American working class willing to shed its nationalist chauvinism is the answer
That’s a new vocabulary for me.
For sure. Blind patriotism is something that I definitely do not get, both in the US and China. It’s stupid, alongside blind opposition to socialist policies like basic healthcare and livable wages. I sincerely hope the US improves on that in my lifetime.
American imperialism
I see that in Chinese propaganda too. I may be biased, since I live in the very country the US and China is trying to have an influence in. I could discuss with you about it, the nuances and my perspective of it, but it’s way past my bedtime now and I have work tomorrow and other priorities, so I probably won’t reply. You are free to message if you want.

I’m sure Fred Hampton would have agreed with you.

Damn. That’s why I don’t like the US any more than the CCP. You actually have a deep running problem.
But please do keep in mind that China isn’t the solution a lot of you think to be.
