    Clearly the top image is better and more practical, cars are the most versatile form of transport after all.

    It’s almost like socialism works and US propagandists have been telling us nothing but lies.

          It raises hackles any time someone unironically uses the term “authoritarian”, because its always used to demonize the non-white countries, and especially those that were successful in opposing the US imperialist project, which has killed more innocent people than any other empire in world history.

          The PRC has not been in a war since its minor skirmish with Vietnam back in the 70s. It’s also lifted more people out of poverty in the last few decades than any other country in history. By contrast the US has killed hundreds of millions of people, attacked our coup’d nearly every country, and its people are increasingly living in poverty and homelessness.

          Secondly yes, the PRC is socialist, read this or any of the other texts ppl below have made.

            If you restrict free speech I consider that authoritarian. I’m not ignoring that Western countries don’t do this, because they do and are also authoritarian.

          All states are “authoritarian,” though, what truly differs is which class is in control and exerting that authority. In China, it’s the working class, which is why the west is terrified of it.

        They’re also an eco-fascist “leftist,” and just say “all countries are bad” and that “humanity should go extinct.” There’s nothing that seems to be capable of convincing them of being worthy of support.
