Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations
1421 readers
1 users here now
The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

Serious comment: I can understand why a more dogmatic socialist wouldn't call China "socialist" -- because they have a mixed economy and plenty of capitalists, even though they don't have much political power (AFAICT) -- but calling China "capitalist" doesn't make sense; the CPC clearly makes choices based on slowly but consistently improving the lives of citizens and strengthening the country against foreign attacks, rather than enriching the "political elite". How much personal wealth does Xi have, for example, compared to a typical high-level politician in Amerika, or someone like Germany's chancellor Scholz?
