sorry bud but slavery is bad.

calling me british (extremely rude) will not change this fact.

Yes, and again…all of Tibet didn’t have slavery, and Tibetans themselves were fighting against it before the CCP entered the picture. The logic you are using, and I am sorry if it is rude, is pretty much the same logic of British reformers seeking to civilize the barbarian ‘Hindoos’. I don’t really see how one can deny that. Would you advocate that the US goes into Mauritania to liberate the pockets of slavery that exist there as well?

no, I advocate that the american empire explode into a million pieces.

I would advocate the Chinese do it though. Same with Vietnamese or Cubans.

This “communists cannot do bad things” mentality is starting to seem a bit cultish to me.

Communists can surely do bad things. Unsure how that even remotely relates to what I said though. My example would very explicitly be communists doing a “good thing” (liberating slaves).

The reason I support a communist doing it rather than an imperialist capitalist empire should be pretty self-evident on a leftist board.

I’m against the idea that communists cannot do imperialism. The Lenininst definition that basically excludes communists from doing imperialism is dumb to me.

If overthrowing a monarchist slave state and then investing into it to combat poverty is imperialism then line me up against the wall baby I’m an imperialist.

…And so you wouldn’t advocate that the Mauritanians have any say in how it goes? Or that they should do it? Or that, maybe at best, China, Vietnam etc. should just encourage those reformers to do their own work? Why is it that in your mind slavery can only be abolished by an outside progressive force?

If the reformers have not succeeded in abolishing slavery in 2020 then yes absolutely 100% I support someone else (that isnt doing it to steal their oil) doing it for them. I’m sorry if you think this is a controversial take but once again - slavery = bad.

So, should China invade Iran and Saudi Arabia to stop punishing adultery, homosexuality, etc? What is the farthest extent of this logic that you are willing to pursue? Any social change is worth squashing local sovereignty by an outside force?

farthest extent of this logic

slavery = BAD

Yes :yes-chad:

Are you coming out against vanguardism here?

Do you think that communists need to somehow hold a referendum before starting a revolution or do you think there’s something inherently better about people from the same “nation state” unilaterally making decisions for other people of that nation state than if people from a different nation state did it?

Do you think the Red Army should have pulled all the way back to the borders of the Russian Empire the moment Berlin fell?
