I gotta give you this one. I had a sensible chuckle. Development in China has been crazy!

Socialism in action, which allows for long-term planning and acheiving societal goals.

Would've been better if real images were used for China

Okay I would just upvote and move on, but you're clearly baiting with that title so if it's alright with you let's have some banter :P

If I say that

  • the meme is on point
  • material conditions in China are to some extent better than the US
  • the US is definitely worse to its own people and the world
  • I'm staunchly anti-capitalist

but I also say that I still don't like the Chinese state because I don't consider that (and ML in general) a form of worker-owned means of production (whether or not you agree)

Am I a "lib"?

Kinda? What do you think socialism looks like, if not the PRC? What about the PRC makes it not "genuine worker control," or more broadly, Marxism-Leninism not "genuine worker control?"

lol@that dork who can't be bothered to read a few paragraphs on Tibet and does the "China bad!" unironically.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 day ago

They're also an eco-fascist "leftist," and just say "all countries are bad" and that "humanity should go extinct." There's nothing that seems to be capable of convincing them of being worthy of support.
