No, it’s the exact opposite- the Nationalists resorted to mass conscription during the civil war, which is one of the reasons they were so unpopular at the end. The PLA were under strict orders not to take anything from the people they encountered. No matter how badly off they were, they had to pay for everything when they went through a village. This was a massive propaganda victory, as Chinese peasants expected to be looted whenever an army came through their village. It had been the norm for thousands of years, and a common experience for the last few decades. The Communists saw massive support from the peasantry and the PLA’s numbers swelled.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
