He’s “right” for the wrong reasons, typical of reactionaries; Xi is a comparative moderate in the upper echelons of the Chinese govt. He’s a dedicated marxist theorist and a real believer. This is not true for others. There are plenty of liberals (i.e. hypercapitalists) and straight-up reactionary nationalists and more than a few of the latter are militarists in the PLA or with strong connections to it. People who would be even less hesitant to press the button, as it were. A coup or color revolution would by necessity mandate that one of these other factions comes out on top, and that’s where the real danger would come. Xi keeps these other factions in check, so it goes without saying that Xi is, in fact, the best possible person in government, for both practical and socialist reasons.

Lmao these people really are the last generation of neoliberals and it’s all their fault. They’ve somehow convinced themselves, after years of successful propaganda and CIA sabotage, that communism inherently leads to failure and therefore should be encouraged. Trust in the Five Eyes organizations, who do the actual legwork in destroying communism, is secondary to that now. Imagine how they’ll sound the moment their global espionage network goes down and only that encouragement remains.

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
