I haven’t read a lot of these sources myself yet, but the first one at least by the Communist Party of India is worth a read.

Here are some interesting facts related to this topic:

These claims are promoted mainly by the US government and US media
The USA has invaded many Muslim countries over the last decades, killing millions of innocent civilians
Most Muslim countries support China's Uighur policies, western nations oppose them
According to Biden, USA is in "extreme competition" with China
Xinjiang is a vital part of China's "Belt and Road" infrastructure project, because it provides the shortest path to Europe

Edit: One more thing, here is a list of terrorist attacks in Xinjiang. Note how there were no more major attacks after the vocational training program was established.

Faceless anarcho-communist twitter account is in perfect harmony with CIA but let's not talk about that and try to be neutral here. /s

Don't know why western people are obsessed with concern trolling for human rights across the globe when the biggest anti-worker, genocidal, racist nation state projects are right at their doorsteps. Instead of cleaning the mess at their home you get anarchist minded people being regime change dupes on the internet.

I don't even know what to believe with this shit and I'm not an anarchist but this is the most ridiculous objection I've seen. "WHAT ABOUT [worse thing that anarchists also oppose]" is fucking meaningless and leaves you looking less like a good Marxist and more like you're just looking for any reason to dunk on nerds on the internet.

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

Be respectful
Don't be a nazi
Argue about the point and not the person
This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.
