Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MAGA is also scared of the CCP. That doesn't automatically make the CCP a force for good.
Mamdani is not a CCP member
ROFL
Bro what is an analogy?
Analogies have to make sense. You're using it to pivot the discussion.
You insult everyone's intelligence and debase your own. Maybe that's just your baseline.
China is orders of magnitude more of a force for good than the US is.
China becoming hegemon would unironically be amazing for humanity
This would be like if I said:
And you jumped in and said they may also be afraid of cheese...
They love far right authoritarian regimes, which is what China is.
Like, why did you even make that comment, do you think China is fucking leftwing?
A non-zero amount of people on Lemmy think china is communist and therefore left-wing.
No True Communism
All bad regimes are right wing. They should be replaced with left wing regimes because they are always good. Counterexamples are not truly left wing.
Gee, I wonder why there's no actual communist government...

Words mean things. Do you think the DPRK is democratic, or the Nazis were socialist?
Bro I lived in China, they literally operate a capitalist authoritarian regime.
Who owns the land in Shanghai?
Under the European system of monarchies the king owned all land in the kingdom. On that legacy King Charles III and the pope are still the two largest landowners in the world. Were the British Empire and the Roman Empire communist?
E: The US federal government owns about 27% of the land in the US including the majority of Washington DC. State governments own about another 7% and local governments another 2%. That's more than a third of the country. What's the tipping point? How far are we from becoming communist based on land ownership?
Whether China is communist or not, I can't answer. What China definitely is, is right wing.
If they're right wing they're not communist, even under the objectively stupid left wing equals libertarian definition.
Authoritarian left.
Authoritarian right.
Chicken wings!
