A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

Yes, I'm pretty sure we're all aware. Meanwhile over there in the US students with similar degrees can't get a job they're qualified for and need to dirk two jobs just to survive on the bare minimum.
So... The same, I guess?
But the Chinese don't have the choice to just be a hobo.
China: "We're revolutionizing mass transit for 1.4B people"
America: "Okay, but they still have a lot of problems"
And are you going to mention all the problems in the US now too? It’s not all fine and dandy here. China has plenty of problems just like any state. No one said otherwise.
MLS make world account to spread China good message ? Lol
Is that what they were doing with this post? I mean, it’s good to look to as an example for doing infrastructure and civil engineering right.
Its a shame that absolutely nothing in human history is simply good. We cant say "wow x did y right!" Because x also has an abysmal human rights policy, or did some war crimes 100 years ago or whatever.
Suddenly its not about x, its about z, and youre a piece of shit for thinking x ever did anything good when they also did something bad.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
A lot of their youth have tech jobs but are also unemployed? Do you mean under employed as in they don't get full hours or something.
That's a pretty strong case of whataboutism. Nobody said that anything was fine and dandy in China. Only that they planned to build a high speed rail and they did it, while the US repeatedly fails at the same thing.
It's only whataboutism if it's defense of a non-western country.
No, it's whatabputism if it has nothing to do with the original argument.
Is not comparing all internal issues of China and us. But you can't deny they don't have a plan and stick to it
So they are Schrodinger's country, simultaneously don't let news out while everyone knows of their internal problems? It sounds like all you know is US propaganda
