    Russia selling oil to capitalist countries is an entirely normal thing for countries to do. Not only can socialist countries trade with capitalist ones, Russia isn’t socialist to begin with, so I’m not sure what this point is.

    China and the Phillipines have different claims to land and sea, and that does cause conflict, sure. China isn’t trying to dominate the Phillipines or extract them for wealth.

    People in Hong Kong that prefered to remain a British colony were largely the wealthy capitalists that benefited most from the system. Overall, most people are happier being reunited.

    China’s stance is that it’s fine to wait for the people of Taiwan to choose reunification on their own. NATO countries are heavilu arming Taiwan to provoke a messy and violent reunification.

    I don’t think the speech of fascists needs to be protected, nor the speech of capotalists. Free expression is only genuinely possible in classless society to begin with.

      Ah yes, the massive protests seen in 2019 were all brought by the capitalists™️, no worker did partake with the millions people marching in the streets.

      Do you realise how unserious you sound???

          So, in your view, a single man can sway an entire people to follow his ideals without any issue? My my, he must be a master of deception, maybe Loki himself. You’re as unserious as the legal processes in dictatorships

            No? Jimmy Lai was just one example that was convicted in the last few days after evidence was collected. You’re deeply unserious.

              And where are the rest of the people who helped this wrong insurrection against the Chinese government?? Millions of people rallying against China but they’re still the good guys. Keep telling yourself that you’re right and everybody else is wrong, you’ll be always right

                The riots died down and the majority of people support the status quo. That’s literally what happened. Hong Kong is doing better now than when they were a British colony, that you seem to wish they remain.

                  Why did the riots died down? Was it a decision by the people or had the Chinese state step in to crack down the manifestations by force? Have you seen the images of Chinese police attacking protestors and people?? Are you selectively blind?

                    It was both. Police cracked down on violent protestors, and the protestors gave up as well. The pro-colonization side lost and now most people support the status quo. Capitaliats are still upset though.
