yes

And how would you prevent a state from forming in a stateless society? We are pack animals after all.

So what's your end goal here? What's the communist endgame?

that was my point

The bill gave trans women maternity rights

But you use the 'I've read a lot of theory' excuse all the time as an attempt to appear as an authority.

Secondly, Marx was no racist, nor was he anti-semetic.

If you use racist and antisemitic slurs, then you're a racist and an antisemite.

Though hey! This will be a golden opportunity for you. Let's talk about how Russia and China treats its LGBTQI (you forgot the I) population.

What are these sources, my man? You gonna link to RT News next? Am I gonna need an antivirus to check these out?

And again, no shit, Russia would want more soviet union, they were oppressors and imperialists. And the majority of countries do not regret the dissolution. And hey, glad you mentioned the DPRK. You must hate North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia against Ukraine, yeah?

Oh, Cowbee, you and your statistics! How disingenuous you are.

For starters, that sample size is minuscule at only 1000.

And unsurprisingly, more countries think the dissolution was a bad thing than a good thing. Of course, Russia thinks the USSR was good, they were the oppressors. Life under the Soviet Union was grossly oppressive for the peasants, and especially if your country was the victim of Russian imperialism. You couldn't speak ill of the leaders, you had zero representation, and you faced the risk of your livelihood being ripped from you at any point. Your indigenous culture was even suppressed because it was considered anti-Soviet behaviour. There you go defending imperialism again, Cowbee.

And mind you, this is a survey before Russia's invasion of Ukraine!

Ah, why is it you defend Russia? Russia is an oligarchy that finds its riches in oil and fossil fuels. They're not at all socialist.

nah, don't be afraid.

tl;dr: They can't risk poking the West

China has zero experience in modern warfare, while every single Western nation has extensive history and practice. China hasn't fought anything major in 50 years. Western militaries have been continuously active for decades in all manner of warfare and intelligence.

Chinese technology is also always lagging behind Western nations. Their infrastructure is also hastily built and very prone to collapse and malfunction, which also extends to products made in China. I'm sure you've had your own experience with the "made in China" level of quality.

China also has no control over global media, no country trusts them, most of the global community doesn't trust them, and most Western civilians don't trust them. If they start a war, they can't call for international support.

China's also surrounded by enemies who have a deep history of warfare and fighting against China, such as South Korea, Japan and India. All are largely rich nations with modern militaries and strong unity. China's only allies are Russia, Iran and North Korea. Russia is not a reliable ally due to past skirmishes between China and Russia, North Korea is still reliant on soviet technology, and Iran is geographically far.

China also has limited control over its ocean, which is filled with allied ships and submarines. They can't risk any naval assault and their every movement is tracked by multiple militaries. Their ships are also largely outdated and lacking in quality compare to Western nations, such as US, Japan and Australia.

Landwise China is surrounded by extremely challenging terrain for ground forces and extensive mountain ranges. Their supply and logistical lines are also severely limited. They can't attack nations across the ocean due to their lack of submarine technology and naval power, they can only be funnelled through certain paths along the rugged terrain and they can't defend against South Korea, Japan and India all at once, and that's not even including other Western powers.

China's population is also its largest weakness. China can't sustain its population without relying on importing food from Western nations. They're so desperate to control their population size that they've tried numerous attempts of population control, and none have yet been effective. Consider the devastation of Chinese citizens starving, they can't risk that. Their economy also relies heavily on Western complacency, which can shift to India at a moment's notice if China proves itself to be too unreliable; hence, China has to cater to Western demands for now.

yay chinese imperialism!
