    What? Uyghurs have a rich and important culture, one that needs to be preserved and fostered. The CPC has clearly stated that the idea is to assimilate them to a Chinese national identity. It needs to be addressed and critique is warranted. You can even make an argument that an ethnic cleansing has and is occuring. You cannot, however, throw out accusations of genocide when there is no proof. Sorry, you need evidence for genocide. Or at the very least learn what a genocide is because you are clearly confused.

    The fact you compare me to a Nazi is just disgusting. Do better.

    MLism does not mean stalinism. Lenin is not Stalin. Lenin wrote works that influenced South American, Central American, Eastern Asian, and Pan-African movements that have overthrown fascist regimes. The fact that you lump together every Marxist Leninist together to Stalin, when the movement is diverse, global, and employed differently everywhere is ludicrous. Its the most black and white thinking imaginable. You have never read Lenin or looked into communist movements inspired by him if you lump all of ML into Stalin.

    Again, you refuse to engage with actual words.

      What? Uyghurs…

      Like I said before, the gang of podcasters was talking about a different genocide.

      “You refuse to engage with actual words” and defaulted to spamming talking points.

      The fact you compare me to a Nazi is just disgusting.

      I compared genocide deniers to Nazis. Didn’t realize you’d feel attacked

      MLism does not mean stalinism. Lenin is not Stalin.

      Lenin didn’t create MLism. Stalin did. You know that, right?

        Please refer to this if you want to understand the differences, in brief, between stalinism and Marxism Leninism. https://www.reddit.com/r/Socialism_101/comments/q6cmpu/comment/hgbo08x/

        Political ideology is not stagnant and is does not exist in a bubble.

        You compared me to a genocide denier, called me a Nazi, speak in riddles without engaging, and deflect every time you are asked a question. You genuinely disgust me now so I’m just going to ignore you at this point.

        (All because JT renounces liberals, which is too much to bear for you.)

          I like how your link could be boiled down to “MLists fixed Stalinist MLism by removing the Stalin cult of personality…” And lists other Strong Man leaders who have their names in the new ideology. Funny how people like Maupin have cults of personality isn’t it?

          In his pro authoritarianism video, what is the best argument JT Chapman gives that can’t be repurposed by authoritarian fascists?
