I have been lurking on Chinese social media because I’m sort of a native Chinese speaker. In China’s leftist scene, a lot of the “patriot”, anti-imperialist, pro-CPC folks are extremely anti-feminist, anti-LGBT, racist, xenophobic, anti-semitic, and islamophobic.
Of course CPC itself doesn’t slightly take those stances. However I’m worried if it grows out of control it might be a problem in the future, as some of those leftist influencers have millions of social media followers.
They act like they’re immune to ideological pitfalls, but this is all the exact same transphobic garbage you can find on patriots.win
Like I get the sentiment, but if they make these points without building solidarity with lgbt comrades then they’re just setting themselves up to be divided along gay/straight, trans/cis lines. Just from the opposite side.
