nah, it’s called CPC, and anybody who can’t spell that right outs themselves as an ignoramus. Once corrected, and insisting on continuing to spell it wrong they out themselves as an idiot.

I know what CPC is, I have no idea what CCP is. Maybe it’s just that people who huff too much gas can’t spell Communist Party of China correctly? 🤷
Well, feel free to explain how the attack on Vietnam constitutes an occupation. Are you suggesting China’s military action was carried out with the intent of annexing a part of Vietnam?
I have no idea what CCP is.
Ah yes, China helping Korea liberate itself from the US invasion is occupation. I’m starting to think I want whatever drugs Fleur is having.
Invasion is an act where a country enters another country by force with the objective of taking control of it. But don’t let your lack of English cprehension stop you from making a clown of yourself.

when you definitely understand what imperialism is
I have no doubt that Trump would keep doing more of the same. The key point is that what dems are already doing is objectively deplorable.
pretty disingenuous to call border skirmishes invasions if you ask me
No we can’t because that’s demonstrably false. The state in China clearly represents the interests of the majority.
90% of families in the country own their home giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world. What’s more is that 80% of these homes are owned outright, without mortgages or any other leans. https://www.forbes.com/sites/wadeshepard/2016/03/30/how-people-in-china-afford-their-outrageously-expensive-homes
The real (inflation-adjusted) incomes of the poorest half of the Chinese population increased by more than four hundred percent from 1978 to 2015, while real incomes of the poorest half of the US population actually declined during the same time period. https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w23119/w23119.pdf
From 1978 to 2000, the number of people in China living on under $1/day fell by 300 million, reversing a global trend of rising poverty that had lasted half a century (i.e. if China were excluded, the world’s total poverty population would have risen) https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/China’s-Economic-Growth-and-Poverty-Reduction-Angang-Linlin/c883fc7496aa1b920b05dc2546b880f54b9c77a4
From 2010 to 2019 (the most recent period for which uninterrupted data is available), the income of the poorest 20% in China increased even as a share of total income. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.DST.FRST.20?end=2019&locations=CN&start=2008
By the end of 2020, extreme poverty, defined as living on under a threshold of around $2 per day, had been eliminated in China. According to the World Bank, the Chinese government had spent $700 billion on poverty alleviation since 2014. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/31/world/asia/china-poverty-xi-jinping.html
People in China also enjoy high social mobility https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/11/18/world/asia/china-social-mobility.html
And finally, they have record household savings https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-dow-jones-bank-earnings-01-12-2024/card/chinese-household-savings-hit-another-record-high-xqyky00IsIe357rtJb4j
Why not try something new and try dissolving the state and self organizing into communes that best reflect our beliefs and values?
The real question is why do anarchists have nothing to show aside from rhetoric for over a century. I’ll take a functional worker state that actually improves lives of the people instead of living under dictatorship of capital while dreaming about unachievable utopia.
I think Mearsheimer does a very good job of providing honest analysis of the history of the conflict and the causes behind it https://mearsheimer.substack.com/p/who-caused-the-ukraine-war
Nah, China hasn’t tied making colonies. It has developed using its own means, and now it has surpassed the US.
I mean Russia would continue doing trade with Cuba regardless of what the US says. And if US started sabre rattling then Russia would send armed ships to escort its cargo ones. Even the US wouldn’t be crazy enough to directly attack Russian ships trading with Cuba.
I think there’s a difference between invasion/occupation and a minor border skirmish. Like yeah it could’ve been more accurate, but it does get the point across. 🤷
I agree, and it is true that whenever agitprop has even minor inaccuracies then that’s the only thing people will fixate on.
That’s fair, I like the concept of the map hence why I shared it, but I agree it would be better if it was more accurate. Perhaps worth making a better one.
Portraying minor skirmishes as invasions is the height of dishonesty. Ironic that you would do that while accusing me of being inaccurate.
the map is far more accurate than it is not though
no worries, and I appreciate your perspective on this as well
You still haven’t answered what you think the intent of the military action was. Do you claim any military confrontation is occupation?
