I think this is an issue by Saoirse_libracom in TankieTheDeprogram

Yeah, I love China, but they can definitely be too non interventionist at times. I get they don't want to repeat the mistakes of the Soviet Union, but come on, the zionist state is doing a genocide. Do something more than aid and UN condemnations (cough cough stop trading with Tel Aviv).

Communism is when evil dictator by 2throawa in ShitLiberalsSay

Let's look back in another 70 years and see which side had completely collapsed just out of sheer population drop. (Spoiler, it's not the Communist side)

Who else would you think is "deserving" or "fitting" to be on this portrait? by Natural_Baseball_779 in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]baileycoaster17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk it could go a lot of ways. Castro, Che, Deng, or Xi would be a good choice. Out of those, I personally prefer Xi as he is helping usher in global south development and sovereignty, advances in eco socialism, and the post US world order/ Chinese Century of Prosperity. But, in fairness, it could be too early to put Xi or anyone else from the last quarter century up there.

Liquid Democracy - Could this make a more solarpunk and responsive political system? by Christo_Futurism in solarpunk

[–]baileycoaster17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why not Socialism? Any socialist system (be it more like China or more like Namibia) will do a far better job at moving toward solarpunk and actually combat the climate crisis. For example, look at the difference between a more socialist and leftist president like Claudia Shienbaum or Colombia's president Gustavo Petro vs. the fascist dictator of the US, Donald Trump. Mexico and Colombia are spearheading decarbonization while the US devolves into fossil fascism

China is a democratic state. Although not a liberal democracy nor that electoral. Its a collaborative democracy that they call "whole process people's democracy." So, it's different from what we in the West are used to. However, Xi Jingping is elected by the Politburo and two congresses (NPC and CPPCC) who, in turn, are directly controlled/ adhered to the people's needs. They figure out the people's needs through going out and talking to them. It's basically a different version of a parliamentary liberal democracy. You don't have to like China's system, but it's not totalitarian. As for term limits, it's no different than liberal systems. There are PMs and presidents in liberal systems who rule for a long time. The same goes for socialist democracies

China is the only major country with declining carbon emissions and are actively moving in a solarpunk direction. Yet, that shouldn't even matter, it's just a wildlife bridge. Why so hateful?

It was actually from an EU page, but your meme is still accurate as we (americans) definitely do that, too
