  • Am I missing something? Because on a quick read I’m agreeing with a lot of what he said, especially on the part of Imperialism being the main contradiction.

    I should note that I have no idea what that sub is about, my only knowledge about it is the post linked here

    Can someone help me understand what makes it reactionary?



  • That’s copypasta, and it doesn’t even fit in this circumstance, in spite of how much you want it to. How are the effects of my discourse supporting the status quo?

    I literally said it, and I’ll reapeat it: “The fact is that China’s model of international relations is better than US’s and should be incentivized, the denial of this fact is the same as the support for the opposite affirmation.”


  • As I said, it doesn’t matter the reasons, you’re still supporting the status quo. It’s not about your intentions, it’s about the effects of your discourse. The fact is that China’s model of international relations is better than US’s and should be incentivized, the denial of this fact is the same as the support for the opposite affirmation.

    This post is supporting change, a better alternative to what we currently have. Proposing change is a political process. The fact that the word politic has become demonized by liberals doesn’t change that fact


  • There’s a lot of I’s in your comment, so let’s get that out of the way: I’m sure you’re one of the good ones, congratulations! Ok, now we can discuss things properly. Whenever someones accuses you of supporting USA in posts like these it’s because you are. When people discuss changing something and you openly criticize this change without new proposals or sugestions, you are supporting the status quo. It doesn’t matter if you agree with it completely, if you criticize some things but believe it can be reformed, or worst, if you think we should just wait around until something better comes along, the end result is the same: you’re supporting the status quo.

    So we believe that China is miles better than the US, none of the things you said here changes that. China is not perfect, but there’s no point in criticizing when we are making the argument that it’s better than what we currently have. We discuss the faults and mistakes of China when it’s appropriate to do so, doing it in this post would be counter productive. It’s basic politics
