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.

    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.

        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)
