It’s like China is just that one country (aside from the Khmer Rouge) that every ML (aside from Dengists like us) agrees to hate on.
Fellow Traveler and leftypol uploaded videos criticizing them, the Shining Path hung up literal dogs to protest them, Maoists go all insane saying that it’s some red fash social-imperialist nation because (insert nato propaganda here). And Hoxhaists claim that China was never socialist and that the only socialist nation ever was USSR before Khrushchev and almighty holy Albania.
What is it that makes China so controversial even among MLs? I get that it’s not perfect and every AES state has their Ls, but jesus.
I saw this in a lecture by this Chinese professor. It was in a specific lecture (can’t find it right now, I need to sleep) where the lecturer was discussing 4 main Ideological trends in chins, ultra-left, left, right and ultra-right. I will make edits when I find it.
That sounds really interesting and I’d love to watch that. I’m still really trying to un/learn a lot about China and hearing about their own self-criticism regarding capitalist/Rightist mistakes that they are trying to correct would be very helpful. I’ll come back for the edit. Thanks!
