Can’t go allowing Western propaganda about “personal liberty” to interfere with our grand plans. But we’re definitely not authoritarian. You will grow to love the options we give you.

    bourgeois democratic “values” where the rich get to control society

    EDIT: could it be any more obvious that the US gives zero shits about privacy and democracy? empty buzzwords in the face of the NSA and the fucking joke of a rigged primary we just had

        censorship is necessary and justified to defeat international capital reaction and literally every country censors some things, including the one that uses lofty rhetoric about “freedom” as a tool of imperialism

        the only way to get rid of censorship is to get rid of states, and global socialism is the way to achieve that

      Snowden has done some good stuff but politically he’s a weird technocrat libertarian guy from what I can tell, either way obviously China would remove shit about “authoritarianism” and “totalitarianism” thats pretty much all western propaganda terms to demonize countries and delegitimize anything they say.

      is Edward Snowden now the enemy?

      Heard of critical support? We like what he did, but it was always clear that he was still a liberal/libertarian.
