  • I gotta heavily disagree with the idea of him being no different than any other nationalists.

    He’s said before that only the Han Chinese are “smart” enough to have a successful country as China, and he believes that “full communism” is just as bad as full capitalism. I will admit maybe his views have changed and I could be wrong, and he’s definitely not pro US. But he is/was very homophobic, and the bad kind of nationalist.

    There are a noticeable amount of Han chauvanists in China as well. The CPC and most of the Chinese population don’t agree with them though, thankfully.









  • As excellent as this article is, I’ve had multiple conversations with Captaincool07, and I think comrades should know that he is unfortunately a Han supremacist. I hate using that term since it sounds like its giving credit to liberals, but he really is. He thinks the CPC is more of a nationalist party than a socialist one, and he thinks Vladimir Putin is a “radical centrist”, and that China’s success is more due to nationalism than socialism, and he once said that he thinks that China should return to controlling 25-40 percent of the entire world’s economy, rather than a multipolar one.

    He’s also vehemently homophobic and thinks that Mao’s socialism “went too far”.




  • It pains me how accurate your last sentence is. Even when I was a libertarian and later liberal, I was pretty intelligent from a young age and I remained very skeptical when in high-school in Texas, they always drilled into our heads that “communism doesn’t work”, even in fucking English literature class of all goddamn places, and I remained skeptical, especially because even when I was like 8 years old, I would look up and google and wikipedia topics that interested me, like communism, death, the afterlife, science, paleontology.

    Maybe it wasn’t so obvious back then, and I might be giving myself too much credit. But it always infuriated me even when I was anti-communist, that people say blatant bullshit anti-communist like that. I figured that if communism “didn’t work” on at least some level, the Soviet Union and China wouldn’t have hundreds of millions of citizens and western supporters while also having kick-started dozens of revolutions across the globe, and communist parties and rebel groups wouldn’t still exist to this day.

    I’m sure my teachers in middle and high-school meant well on some level, and the Texas board of education sucks ass and probably forced or indoctrinated them into repeating capitalist lies, but it still hurt that we were forced to swallow capitalist boot.
