Why is there so much Chinese propaganda on lemmy?
Why is there so much anti-chinese propaganda everywhere else?
China has an exhaustive control over the people even on internet (the great Firewall, because this everybody use an VPNm even Schools), but apart of this, the people have way more civil rights and services as those from the US. It isn't a democracy, but also by far not an bloody dictatorship as people say. In the Vivaldi forum we have a lot of users from China since a lot of years. "China is bad" is a pure falacy.

There are a lot of communists here, FOSS attracts us and Lemmy in particular was made and is developed by communists. The PRC is a socialist country governed by communists, so most communists support it.
The PRC is a dictatorship of the proletariat, it's a democratic country that restricts the rights and free movement of capitalists. Public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy, controlling the large firms and key industries, finance sector, etc, while private and cooperative ownership dominates the small and medium firms. About half the private sector is just sole proprietorships, which don't make much sense to socialize immediately anyways from a Marxist perspective.
I stand by that statement, it's a socialist country governed by communists, and the majority of communists support it.
