Yeah, but have you considered that he is asian, and thus probably a secret communist?

Singapore is a neo liberal hellhole, but they have social housing and medicine which makes them literally Stalin.

Are these people really unable to show some professionalism, or at least act like well adjusted adults?

Funny how you can hear words sometimes

"NO HE AIN'T... He's Laotian. Ain't ya Mr. Kahn?"

New one yes

Yea I think they were talking to Zuckerberg at some point and I tuned in and some chid was just yelling over and over again "yes or no will you personally compensate everybody who lost somebody because of your site"

And I was rooting for zuck to tell them "no fuck off are you stupid"

Same thing with them repeatedly asking "do you agree the internet is a dangerous place for children" and if he started a response with anything other than yes they'd just yell over him. They asked him why he wouldn't answer the question directly and he was like "I'm not going to say on congressional record that the internet is dangerous for all children because you're going to try to use that to justify banning children from the internet"

How are politicians so dogshit it makes the literal bad guys of society seem repeatable and reasonable

thinking the Chinese are behind everything they don't like.

Lazy KKKrakas are just recycling Tsarist era antisemitism. At least come up with new material smh.

There isn’t smart fascism.

Hitler was a moron. He thought he could win the war in 1945 still.

Tojo was a moron, he thought he could prevent war by going to war.

Mussolini was a moron, he thought he could hang upside down like a bat and live.

Franco was a moron, he thought his hairline would fool us.

Blanco was a moron, he thought he could go to space without a helmet and live.

It’s actually quite difficult to join the CPC. You need recommendation letters and all that. They usually pull from high school and university students who excelled academically.

I have friends in the CPC and for me it’s totally not worth it, unless you like the perks of being a party member (networking/connections, better promotion opportunities in SOE etc.).

Rest assured, you will not be discussing socialist theories with your comrades. My friends told me the regular meeting is just bunch of people talking about their “personal development”, what challenges they are facing and how they encourage each other to solve it (mostly about jobs, finances, and other issues). This is in Shanghai by the way, so a fairly middle class demographic, it could be run quite differently in rural townships and villages though, I’m sure there’s more emphasis in solving local issues etc.

Theoretically being a member of your local communist party would have the same effect

Becomes an affiliate member. Gets purged. :C

They'd probably try to yank his face off like it was a Scooby-Doo villain's mask

Code pink has white people as their figureheads but that doesn't change the fact that it is accused of being a Chinese fifth column organization

At this point, I'd rather replace the representative Chew, tell Tom Cotton and the Senate to fuck their mothers, and repeat the Michael Parenti quote:

“During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime's atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn't go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.

If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.”
