God. Its so nice for someone to link resorces. Idk wtf was up with the MLs Ive ran into in the past but they’d just yell at you and never provide any sources. It’s not exactly easy to find shit on China that isn’t western AF if you don’t know what you are doing. Which admittedly I do not. I’ve always had to use others to find good sources of information outside the imperialist umbrella.
Unfortunately, I think the reason this happens is because it’s difficult to remain calm and optimistic within a western-dominated internet. Some comrades react emotionally, rather than trying to create new comrades, either out of exhaustion or a belief that it’s too difficult.
I think trying to raise the quality of how we engage with people as communists is one of the more important tasks with organizing.
Never feel bad about asking for a source, or investigating the sources people post. Imperialist propaganda can’t be debunked without rigorous investigation, and good journalists / investigators are out there, as much as western states would like to make them invisible (or kill them).
I forget exactly how the saying goes, might be from the Buddha: “3 things can’t stay hidden for long. The sun, the moon, and the truth”.
