Pretty sure people hate tankies because they defend dictators like Putin and Jinping, not because they want socialism.
When you start denying genocide, it doesn't matter how good your economic policy is.
Anyway, Slava Ukraini.
Communists critically support Russia insofar as they oppose western imperialism and ally with socialist countries and the global south. Communists support popular leaders like Xi Jinping, and the PRC in general, because of the tremendous strides they've made in uplifting the working classes in their countries. Not sure what you're referring to here by saying "genocide denial."
The PRC has a dictator that has written himself into the country's constitution and has a profound level of abject poverty, with 20% of the population living on less than $7/day. It is better than it was in the 70s, though, back when they were actually communist. Now they have a massive private sector. Weird that the two changes line up, right?
The Uyghurs, btw.
Some of the things about the Uyghur genocide are lie btw. Like "china has gulags for uyghurs". China has education camps for people indeed but it is being solely for uyghurs is a blantant lie told by the media.
Any crime that is against humanity is unacceptable. I am telling this to mean "not everything you see objectively, without its propganada value is true" and not to mean "uygur genocide is good i am a nazi asshole turkophobic/uyghurphobic ".
