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?

How do you know? I'm finding out because I can't post or comment about certain things 🤫😳🙈

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.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago

How exactly am I boot-licking? How am I trying to "fool" anyone?

[-] hoch@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

Executing or otherwise punishing capitalists guilty of subversion and corruption, such as Bai Tianhui, is a good thing. "Dissidents" aren't virtuous by "dissenting," it's important to know what dissent means in practice and what they are dissenting against.
