a while ago i was in an argument with an anarchist about china and they hit me with the uyghur genocide argument so i sent them the article with the CIA guy openly admitting its a fabrication and they just didnt reply so im genuinely trying to wrap my mind around it. are they just in straight up denial and ignore it when people bring it up?

OR, the more horrifying alternative, are there some who just fw with the CIA for stopping ”red fascism”?? i know some people honestly believe communists should support ukraine due to ”morals” so maybe its possible?

I think we can also ask how the material conditions change the considerations for who we should make pacts with. The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was made during an era when there were different competing imperial powers, but the modern era is one where they all work together. Singing a pact with the hegemon means giving up sovereignty and being absorbed into the empire.
