Not as simple as that

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nothing is ever "simple," but this is the crux of the equation.

[–] azalty@jlai.lu 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It might be. But it’s also because you guys are very vocal and support extremism/authoritarian governments

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Communists tend to support Socialist movements worldwide, calling these movements extremist or authoritarian is a matter of perspective that Communists would disagree with.

[–] azalty@jlai.lu 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, but there’s a difference between agreeing with the general idea and defending everything a country does. Nuance is important.

If what we consider an authoritarian country isn’t considered authoritarian by communists, then there you have an additional problem

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No Communist defends everything AES states do, though. Communists have nuanced views based on our understandings of the realities faced by and in AES states, and disagree with anti-Communists on these fronts.

I was specifically talking about China never being badly pictured

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It is, though. Hexbear is frequently critical of China's actions, just from a Communist perspective.
