You ask these people what they’re doing to fight Zionism and they’ll just insist that they’re posting and fighting in the information war, meanwhile this is what they post.

It’s just incredible how western leftists will expect real revolutionaries and real leaders of real communist societies to imperil their many hundreds of millions of citizens and their thriving socialist projects to clean up messes borne of our own sins. Yes, Palestinian genocide is evil and it must be stopped, but how is that China’s burden to bear? As if we haven’t foisted enough burdens directly onto them already…

china (and every other country) should spend the percentage of their gdp on helping Palestine, that hexbear does of our incomes on direct aid to Palestinians.

I remember like 2 yrs ago I was telling people on Deprogram subreddit “hey this guy is an abrasive asshole that only gives hot takes for views” and like 80% of them were like “lmk when you admit you’re a Zionist” or like “stfu, he’s done more for the global left than you”. Fine. Nowadays it’s obvious that he’s at least a lil transphobic (that tweet about trans people using their gender identity as an excuse?? for not having their political takes be criticized, it didn’t make sense so I don’t know how to even word it, my bad) and admitted himself that he isn’t a Marxist/communist. Fuck Israel and the USA, but seriously we can’t act like everyone who comes to those 2 VERY OBVIOUS leftist conclusions is a good person or even a smart person. The day I don’t have to hear about Bad Empanada again will be a very welcome one, can’t wait until his ass shuts up. Not to mention that he doxxed or helped to Doxx BayArea415, a great fount of info on PRC history and politics, as well as DPRK stuff

More like 'Westerners when you ask them to do anything'.

Servility in the imperial core is very special. We express it by complaining loudly until someone takes notice, and if they don't, it's their fault for not hearing us. Learned helplessness from centuries of liberalism.

Complaining on the internet about a country that does not even speak your language will not shame them into acting the way you want them to. All it will do is create more anti-communists and give arguments for color revolution. Of which 3 attempts have been made in China in just the past 8 years, and more are brewing.

Like most of his audience is statistically Statesians. He should be telling them ways of organizing shipments for Cuba instead of trying to get a dunk in for the twitter likes. There are routinely convoys that organize shipments to Cuba, mostly food medication and basic goods. Did he post about them? I did.

People like him do this very deliberately. Their hatred of AES outdoes their irritation at US imperialism. I mean what else do you call it when you have all these accounts posting endlessly about China trying to influence public opinion? They never mention that 38% of Cuba's daytime electricity is produced by Chinese-provided solar farms, for example. They want China to do everything everywhere all at once when that is precisely a factor that led to the dismantling of the soviet union.

Some of them are even the same people that will say Cuba was a 'sugar colony' of the USSR.

Beware: going down this path of always finding fault within things you can't act upon will only lead you to ultra-leftism. He's the living proof.

"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985
