Thoughts?

Is this imperialism by China, a country which is supposed to be left-wing? Leftists are normally anti-imperialism. Wouldn’t it be better to let Taiwan democratically decide whether they want to be part of China or not?

    Isn’t any democratic structure performing coercion through power on people who comprise the minority opinion, by doing what the majority decides?

      Authoritarianism (and all Right Wing politics) is about the minority performing coercion on the Majority. A political elite makes decisions. The further Right you go, the smaller the minority.

      Sure, when the conservatniks are in power. Some of us still fight for progress for them and for you, even though you try endlessly to destabilize us from afar.

        What the hell are you talking about? Who is “us” and who is “you” and who’s destabilizing who, and from where?
