Thx for this, gives much better context. Translation issues aside, this comes from one anonymous blogger not in the CPC, but with a wechat post going viral. Obvi they make some really good points, that China shouldn’t adopt the vapid consumerist celeb-worshipping culture of south korea and the US.

Obviously I agree with the author about cracking down on capitalists, rapists, fascists, and tax evaders. And I don’t have enough confidence in English translations of (what might be) homophobic slurs to comment on that. After all, slurs have hidden inside them arguments denouncing oppressed groups that are specific to a particular history and culture. They must be the most difficult words to translate.

But this is pure brocialism:

…if we allow this generation of young people to lose their mettle and masculinity, then who needs an enemy—we will have brought destruction upon ourselves, much like the Soviet Union back in the day…

Women and feminine people of any gender can have as much mettle as anyone else, and can shoot fascists just as well. The Soviet Union was not brought down by a decline of patriarchy but by the production issues that Parenti describes in Blackshirts and Reds. It had everything to do with Pizza Hut Gorbachev and nothing to do with femininity.
