I would rather make concise true statements than to clumsily expand & corrupt the commonly accepted meaning of these words and equate the two situations… PRC & USA’s social & economic situations & history are not to be equated
I don’t need to disarm your talking point, I am just pointing out how cynically it’s constructed. If you are at all trying to say that PRC’s development & outreach in Xinjiang is comparable to how police treat Black Americans in the US, then it’s not a true or semantically correct statement
There is no challenge. The truth doesn’t really need our opinions or our imprecise syntactic constructions
The liberal talking point doesn’t have any facts to stand on lol. So all we really need is to point out circa 2014 liberal media coverage of murders & extremist unrest in Xinjiang, and the rest should follow logically
No, it’s not up to Marxists to fundamentally change people, all Marxists can do is clarify the conditions that exist & offer alternative analyses & historical context… hopefully point out contradictions & correcting the revolutionary line along the way. People still have to be willing to disengage with liberal & imperialist propaganda, and revolutionary conditions still have to present themselves. Marxists do not create revolution or class consciousness, these are things that take shape regardless of Marxian analysis, they are objective
Marx says that the point is to change the world. I think changing people is far less straightforward than that
