So what's your deal? Does russia and china pay you to spew this shit or is just that you like to suck up to dictators?

Most socialists/communists support the PRC, it isn't particularly unusual.

The overwhelming majority of practicing Marxist-Leninist orgs support the PRC, and Marxism-Leninism is in turn by far the most significant branch of Marxism. Marxism is more broadly adopted than anarchism globally, the other major school of thought in the socialist movement.

The PRC does support the PRC, yes.

Umm, no, they don't. The PRC is about as far from communism as the US.

Yes we do. The PRC is in the developing stage of socialism. The large firms and key industries are publicly owned, the medium firms are heavily controlled and planned, and as they grow they are further integrated into the planned nature of the economy. This is the general path to sublimating property and gradually collectivizing it. The US Empire, on the other hand, has private ownership of the large firms and key industries, and runs on imperialism, ie vast expropriation of wealth from the global south via financial and millitary domination.

I suggest reading Marxist-Leninist theory, if you want somewhere to start, I wrote an introductory reading list targetting those interested in theory but who don't know where to start.

We're not talking about socialism. We're talking about authoritarianism. Yes China is socialist-ish and also yes China is authoritarian
