Okay.

One day this account will be 2 years old and its posts will be recognized for their greatness. But until then, it'll just be a sockpuppet troll account. Very sad.

The situation is most definitely not the same. If it was the same then corporate media wouldn't spend much time criticizing China, they'd be happy with having yet another country to freely exploit.

This kind of thing never receives serious consequences in the US anymore. Hell, do enough white collar crimes and pedophilia and they make you president.

If he reads this thread before replying, I'm gonna give him a secret hint: don't just assume that because Chairman Mao was Chinese that means Maoists are pro-China! It was actually a trick question! To answer this one halfway correctly, you might have to do at least 2 minutes of reading. To answer it very correctly, it may be necessary to get way more educated on political subjects before running one's mouth online. I recommend reading Parenti and starting at Blackshirts and Reds! I believe in you!

Can you elaborate on that?

Yeah, maybe, but I think what he meant by that was that I kept insisting he's a tankie but he believes tankie = genocide supporter.

Anyway, I do think his thing of specifying that tankies are defined by our defense of China's genocide specifically is interesting. I already pointed out that that excludes Maoists which I can't wait to see his reply to.

I read it as "you're right that I support Hamas but I'm not a tankie because I oppose all genocides, not just the one in Gaza" which I admit is also a non-sequitur but not as much of a non-sequitur as also calling Hamas genocidal. But we're definitely reading tea leaves here.

Hold on, another point here: so are Maoists and communists that strictly take the Soviet side of the Sino-Soviet split not tankies?

Honestly I don't think this person is saying Hamas is genocidal. I think he's very confused and is really insistent that tankies love genocide, so he was trying to like, pre-move me. But as far as I can tell the implied genocidal regime he's opposed to is China, not Hamas. Obviously that opens a whole other can of worms but he won't reply to my last comment.

did you know that 23% of American adults 18-39 think the Shoah was fabricated or exaggerated?

That's horrifying.

Indeed, why did you say that leftists say it's good for Iran to shoot protesters in the face and that Russia has a god given right to invade Ukraine?
