I fail to understand why I keep getting kicked/banned from leftist communities. All I did in that community was talk about the BRI, share my reading list, and fascinate about the guoxin-1: China’s first deep-sea fish farm that’s as large as an aircraft carrier. As well as talk to another person about how Chinese media could do a better job at outreach.

To these self-hating leftists, you can apparently only discuss China when they’re dunking on the West. But when you talk about the BRI, Moderate Prosperity, XJP’s New Era, or what have you: you get promptly done away with.

I now understand why none of the reading lists in Socialist groups don’t include anything recent or from the third world. These people are stuck in the past and only want to lever the actions of AES states to support their own moribund view of their world and their socialist causes.

I just wanted to make some friends on the left.

What’s up Western left? I didn’t even post anything (check REVeddit), to that subreddit and have already been banned.

Why can I only talk about anything China-related if it’s in relationship to the West? Are China and the CPC only a foil to Western leftists to promote their own form of socialism?

Does China’s success on its road to Socialism give Western leftists a inferiority complex? Do people that talk about Vietnam or other people from the global South experience the same treatment?

    WTF? Well, in my case I’ve been booted out many times for reminding the inherent classism and problems that religions in general have many times and it’s true: it’s all based in that many people think that history began in England during the industrial revolution for some reasons, and that theocracism, feudalism, etc, aren’t somewhat as bad or worse than even capitalism.

      I wish there was a transnational communist/socialist movement that allowed people to join regardless of their skin colour or creed. As long as they’re socialists are willing to work towards connecting the world, using our resources to improve said world and work towards a simple set of universal values all while being disciplined in our effort. A man can dream.

        There are many religious communists in Cuba, the DPRK, elsewhere, and plenty examples of proletarian heroes who were highly religious. If you are religious-minded, you will likely be able to find a communitarian or revolutionary movement in its history.
