    Bro what? I asked a question, he said “you’re wrong, read this paper” and I read the paper. How is that me not being bothered with engaging the answer?

    I read the paper and it just didn’t address the thing I was talking about at all. All it was trying to do is justify China’s totalitarian government as “centralised democracy” and blow roses up Mao’s arsehole. It didn’t show that China isn’t state capitalist at all. So what do you want me to engage with?

      I recommended a 300 pages long book not a paper. You said you spend 30 minutes with it. That’s not enough to even skim it.

        I read “socialism with Chinese characteristics: a guide for foreigners” by Roland Boer.

        That’s what you told to me read. If its not the same one? Well really I don’t care because I’m not going to spend £100 on blatant propaganda thar just jerks off Mao for 300 pages. Which is what you want isn’t it? So you can dismiss my opinion and feel like you’ve “won” because I didn’t read your obscure propaganda book. It’s a pretty standard tankie strategy after all.

          Yes exactly. I want you to read the forbidden tomes so you will fall to the ruinous powers of communism.

              I’m just not dirty tankie scum.

              You are not a communist then. Just a liberal who read the communist manifesto once.

                Lmao sure. So voting for thr communist party, campaigning for socialist policies, and being part of communist activist groups doesn’t make me a communist?

                But being a chronically online loser that simps for capitalist dictators in Russia and China, makes someone an actual communist? 🤡

                  You are really desperately trying to get a rise out of me, aren’t you? It’s not gonna work.
