Tibetan sources who spoke to Radio Free Asia linked the closures to the Chinese government’s education policies and its promotion of the Ethnic Unity and Progress Law, which took effect on July 1, 2026. They said the shutdowns could further limit opportunities for Tibetan children to learn their mother tongue and cultural traditions.
You do understand the person that I quoted that was basically implying that was you right?
In nearly 300 years of strife. I don’t think the state ever dropped bombs on my people or ancestors. That doesn’t make what they did not imperialism. And even then. Even if China isn’t directly dropping the bombs. They’re supplying Russia who is. The state by its absolute Monopoly on violence and overwhelming Force doesn’t even need to fire a shot sometimes. Let alone drop a single bomb. But it’s still imperialism all the same. And you’re twisting into pretzels trying to defend it is pretty disgusting. Imperialist often see themselves as liberators or uplifting people. It’s rarely true.
The state has always been the oppressor. And those who defended it tools.
Ahistorical drivel. China is not imperialist, and if you can’t see that, I ask that you study Lenin’s titular book on the topic. There is no pretzels twisting, I can happily debunk whatever claim you make about China being imperialist with ease.
The state is not an enemy, only idealists think this way. The state, when governed by the proletariat, is good.
It’s funny, you’d think being on Lemmy for several years as an anarchist with an interest in understanding the perspectives of fellow revolutionaries would lead me to have more of an appreciation for MLs. Instead I’m just 98% convinced y’all are in a cult.
China is claiming territory in the south china sea far beyond its internationally recognized borders. That is imperialism.
Okay, even if I grant you that, does everyone in the Chinese government have to sell their labour-power for a wage, aka the definition of a proletariat?
Socialism is a mode of production characterized by a working class dictatorship, workers owning the means of production, and the government having a principle interest in public ownership.
At no point does socialism not have bourgeoisie. They just do not control government and get executed for their social murder schemes. Youre conflating communism, a mode of production without classes, with socialism, a mode of production that empowers workers.
Right. While I do have doubts as to whether the workers truly control the state in China, I admit it is not my area of study. After all, commodity form production is still very much a thing in China.
I’ll do some more research and then come back to it if I have more questions. (I really need to re-read Das Kapital, lol)
