Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!
Rules:
- Be respectful
- Don't be a nazi
- Argue about the point and not the person
- This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

I have some bad news about America if you buy food here, it's all terrible quality and harvested with a ton of forced prison labor, America has more people imprisoned than any country on the planet. I live here so it's a bigger issue to me than what its state enemies are doing on the other side of the planet.
Is China sending cops to other countries to beat them up or something?
Oh, you mean like this? (There are plenty of news stories about this happening, even in left-leaning publications.)
I don't get it why it's always deflect on China, Russia, and other authoritarian regimes, but attack attack attack for the US. Why is it so terrible to admit that authoritarianism is wrong, period, regardless of whether it's nominally capitalist or whether they claim to be communist?

State represssion is bad, however I live in the US, and if you live in any western country your government is far more beholden to the US war criminals than China. I prefer to focus my energy on the country supposed to be representing my interests instead doing horrible violence
but you agree that China is at least as bad as the US, right?
China does cringe shit all the time, it's got plenty of its own issues. The US is at the helm of a world spanning empire built on genocide. I don't live in China, it's not my first priority.
