Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

lol fuck off OP, you dare call people "ultras" when we question Chinese neoliberal brainworms now you turn around and repeat our memes dunking on them? lol lmao even Show us that book about Chinese Marxism again and the chapter on cooperating with the Nazis.

Yeah they suck, glad we can agree now lol.

All of us have criticisms of China. The difference is our criticism isn't used as a wedge point to immediately go "Xinnie poo tianenment uygurt genocide!!!!".

Y'all can't make up your minds, always claiming MLs are incapable of criticism but whenever you see the criticism you take it as admission that you were right about everything ever.

Simmer down.

I wasn’t implying that, more wondering if they refers to “all of China,” the CPC, or just libs within the party

It depends on the Ultra. A lot of western chauvinist ultras will say "the party" but let them ramble on long enough and they'll reveal that they basically think the exact same thing that libs do about the "asiatic brainpan" and think that Chinese people are incapable of thinking for themselves.

Some of them do believe in the people of China and want a second civil war to happen, an even more extreme cultural revolution that purges all of the non-pure communists from society. How a devastating civil war that will kill tens, if not hundreds of millions of people and devastate the country will actually "help" China is never explained, only that the survivors will be Morally Pure, before their massively weakened and destabilised country is destroyed by the US.

The cool thing about "critical" support is that you can approve of the things you think a state is doing well, and disapprove of the things that they aren't doing well. You don't have to see everything in black and white terms.
