Are you saying the PRC isn't socialist because it trades with other countries? Or are you equating trade with the sheer plunder committed by the west towards the global south?
China owns a factory in Israel, sure. Is your argument that they are imperializing Israeli proletarians? Is it imperialist to own factories in other countries, regardless of the nature of the relations themselves? I can absolutely accept valid criticism of the PRC, you'll notice I'm not really pushing back against those disappointed with how long China is taking to sever economic ties with Israel. However, critique doesn't have merit purely for existing.
Not sure what you mean by "jeopardizing that paycheck," if you're insinuating I get paid to be a communist then I can only say that I wish that were the case. Instead, I pay dues out of my own actual paycheck from the job I work.
Anyone who is incapable of even the most mildest of criticisms about a subject cannot be trusted about the subject.
Edit: why was my above comment removed? China isn't capitalist despite owning lens factories in Israel. You've convinced me.
Cool, I don't see how that applies here. I'm plenty critical of China for valid reasons, such as their presently poor LGBTQIA+ legislation (though it has been gradually improving) or their backing of Cambodia over Vietnam back during the time of Pol Pot. Your "criticisms," more often than not, aren't logically justified.
It's really sad how you guys literally can't imagine holding an opinion without being paid for it
Oh no, I absolutely can. What I cannot do is trust anyone who is literally incapable of even mild criticism of a world superpower (who has inarguably done some not so great things).
I'm not sure if you're familiar with this person or not, but it's uncanny.
Oh okay, so you're just saying shit. If you look at their profile, you'll see legitimate criticism galore. Look at any communist space and you will find ruthless critique of all that exists. What you will not find is breathless repetition of easily disproven atrocity propaganda of the type the US has been fooling rubes with for two hundred years. Liberals and "leftists" tend to mistake the two.
Fascist: "I was banned for a simple difference of opinion! These liberals can't handle disagreement!" (The disagreement was over who is human and who should be killed)
Liberal: "I was flamed just for criticizing China! These communists can't handle criticism!" (The criticism is just the same baseless reheated imperial tripe every communist has seen and debunked 4 million times)
The resemblance is uncanny. You guys always hide behind the veil of "I'm just criticizing bro" when your blatant, lazy ignorance gets checked
