Usually both are necessary, and relying only on words and not on actual organizing and coherent force ends up costing far more human lives than just committing to revolution. Non-violence just means your enemies get to use violence on you unopposed.

Incredible levels of racism here, holy shit.

This is idealism. It’s fantasy. Nobody is trying to pursue endless power like a marvel villian, there’s an immense pursuit of profit. The crimes of the wealthiest capitalists are in pursuit of that end, if you mistake the reasons you’ll end up blundering your predictions.

I hope so, I’d love to live in a socialist country with actual infrastructure and a long term mindset.

Kinda? But not because anyone pushes the “utopia” or “dystopia” button. The US Empire is in serious decay, and is fighting to stay hegemonic. It isn’t a thinking process with the express purpose of evil, but a tremendous pursuit of profit.

I think you might benefit from reading theory, this is all more fantasy. The huge issues we have today aren’t like that, they are usually accidental and economically compelled by capitalism. There’s no “dystopia” button or “utopia” button.

I think this is more fantasy than reality.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at.

Trying to quantify political views is still a problem, though.

There isn’t really an “American version.” Left vs right is broadly okay if framed as collectivized ownership as principle vs privatized ownership as principle, but economies in the real world aren’t “pure,” and trying to gauge how left or right a country is by proportion of the economy that is public vs private can be misleading. The next part, “libertarian vs authoritarian,” is a false binary. The state is thoroughly linked to the mode of production, you don’t just pick something on a board and create it in real life. There’s no such thing as “libertarian capitalism,” as an example. Centralization vs decentralization may make more sense, but that can also be misleading, as centralized systems can be more democratic than decentralized systems.

This is a pretty good, if long, video on the subject. The creator of the compass is also politically biased.

As a fun little side-note, I can answer the standard political compass quiz and get right around the bottom-left while being a Marxist-Leninist that approves of full collevtivization of production and central planning. Yet, at the same time, the quiz will put socialist states in the top left, seemingly based on how the creator wants to represent things. It’s deeply flawed. Add on the fact that it’s more of an idealist interpretation of political economy than a materialist one, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.

To be fair, the political compass itself is liberal nonsense designed to promote liberal worldviews. It’s a deeply flawed system that harms more than it helps.

Utopianism is a failure, but a better world is possible. Taking a scientific approach to socialism works.

The RF did try to join, Putin was a part of that movement. After the nationalist movement in Russia, there was an attempt to normalize relations with the west and join the imperialist circle now that they had become capitalist, but this fell through.

The worms take him now. Rot.

It’s constantly bubbling. Women’s rights in the ROK are really bad, and there’s a huge incel movement as well. The ROK in general is like trying to force a lid on a bubbling pot.

The best and most comprehensive resource I have seen so far is Qiao Collective’s Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation. Qiao Collective is explicitly pro-PRC, but this is an extremely comprehensive write-up of the entire background of the events, the timeline of reports, and real and fake claims.

I also recommend reading the UN report and China’s response to it. These are the most relevant accusations and responses without delving into straight up fantasy like Adrian Zenz, professional propagandist for the Victims of Communism Foundation, does.

Tourists do go to Xinjiang all the time, yes. You can watch videos like this one on YouTube, though it obviously isn’t going to be a comprehensive view of a complex situation like this.

There’s a strong feminist movement in the ROK right now, a part of that is bringing up cases where women have been victims yet punished for fighting back. This is one such case.

Neither is true, nobody is siding with you. Simple.

Every time.

No, lmao. Your conspiracy theory fell flat and people are calling you out on it.
