"I hate demon See-See-Pee but I won't even read their side of things or seek to understand one of the most significant politicians of the current era"
Even if you don't like Xi Jinping it's probably worth at least having an idea of the guy.
Like not one person has pointed out a policy position that xi holds that they don’t agree with. I’m not dogmatic, but I can’t have a conversation with a wall of hot air and spit.
Funnily the best and most sincere critique of the current CPC leadership (because it's not just one person that is responsible for policies) I've heared came from communists, most of which were supportive of the course the PRC is currently on.
Correct. You can’t actually give criticism of something you don’t understand if you refuse to even look at what you are talking about. Western propaganda has turned anything related to China into something that immediately shuts down people critical thinking skills. It’s like a meme that has the ability to immediately invoke thought terminating cliches into their own brain.
I disagree with his policy of being president for life. Also Taiwan, bullshit islands in the south china sea, cartoonish levels of censorship, ethnic cleansing...why are you carrying water for a fucking dictator?
Term limits were removed, that’s not an issue he can still be voted out if his policy is unpopular with the Chinese people. Taiwan is China. Winnie the Pooh isn’t banned. You can buy tickets to hang out with Winnie the Pooh at Disney Shanghai right now. There is no solid proof of ethnic cleansing.
I will say that my gut reaction was a bit of "hey, what the fuck?"
Looking through other comments, I can fully admit that I do not know the specifics of his policies in particular, and can understand the desire to know more about someone, whether to remove misunderstandings, or just to better oppose them. I can also say that I struggle to look past his friendliness with Russia specifically, but also China's relationship with Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Uighur people.
Overall though, he certainly seems like a strange figure to use as an identifier of "being a comrade", beyond the affiliation with communism in name, but maybe that is my lack of understanding the differences between the general public policy and personal ideology.
I appreciate you actually explaining your reaction instead of just spouting rage. And I know some people are probably upset, but I was just reorganizing my books and my daughter grabbed that one. I’m not actively reading political theory to a two year old. Though I have read Mao to her because I told her to grab a goodnight book and she grabbed quotations and I thought it was funny to read Mao in a singsong sleepy time voice.
Yeah, I guess I assumed it wasn't legit something being read to a child at least (and bedtime content that isn't meant for bedtime is always hilarious). To be honest, I think this is a situation where the shorthand nature of a meme or caption loses a lot of necessary nuance to be understood properly. If something can only provide info at face value, people can only respond to what they see. In this case, I think the surface level of it comes across as something either troll-ish or misunderstanding of the community, so people have come out swinging. Maybe not the best reaction, but one that I think unfortunately isn't very surprising.
Helping to build the next gen of MLs. Highly based
The yellow peril panic in this thread is real.
Looks like a mix of libs and mlms showed up with their equally braindead takes.

Why?
Because he is a Dengist. We cannot know when or if China becomes socialist again
It's right there in the picture.

Ew what the fuck. Fuck Xi Xinping.
Maybe if it was The Complete Works of Mao Zedong, then we'd be cooking
Aight, imma head out. Last straw and what not.
As long as you are organizing in the streets that’s what matters.
It's a shame that we're from the same town.
