Seize the Memes of Production
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.
Other Great Communities:

If only. China, like virtually every state, doesn't do shit unless it's to their own benefit. And stopping genocides or famines usually isn't.
are we talking about the same china that brought 800mil people out of poverty by 2020 and purposefully builds too many houses (even though it’s not profitable) just to keep housing affordable?, wait never mind you must be talking about the ROC
We're talking about the same China that has a private housing market, landlords, billionaires and suicide nets. You know, PRC.
can’t find anything on suicide nets, closest thing i’ve found is foxcon suicides and those haven’t happened since 2018
Can't find anything on any of the other claims you've made. Doesn't stop you from lying, though.
You moved the goalpost. Downvoting for bad etiquette.
ever heard of a joke/exaggeration? obviously china didn’t abolish world hunger
Appeasing citizens in the imperial core is often advantageous for states. Many capitalist nations have done similar things.
I was talking about foreign policy though. The interests of foreigners are usually very poorly aligned with the leaders of powerful states.
