There is a difference between standing for your core values and defending them vs crushing civil liberties and fucking up minorities. I would be very much china-friendly if they weren’t so heavy on the censorship - both wiping out a lot of local cultures and suppressing critics, at home and especially abroad - and less biased towards the Han-Chinese population, and to be honest, I don’t think the CCP actually needs those points to keep their power., these are self-serving actions to make sure that only themselves and noone else gets a say, like another communistic party that might do things different. Those points are a no-go for me, so i cannot be pro China.
Russia is not communist, not in the slightest. It’s the embodiment of feudalistic hypercapitalism - no worker has had any power in Russia for a long time. Wars of Aggression aren’t in the interest of the populace either - and it’s not their first - especially when it involves staggering losses that are only second to WW2.
I also didn’t say anything about GETTING power. I do not like the thought of violent uprisings, but i acknowledge that it might be needed for a change like that.
The PRC actually has very good ethnic minority protections, both legally and culturally. For example, ethnic minorities were exempt from the One Child Policy, and ethnic minorities at the level of the NPC are better represented than the Han majority by population ratio. The PRC does practice censorship, but this is largely reserved for capitalists and those trying to undermine socialism, a method of self-defense learned by observing western-backed propaganda undermine other socialist countries.
As for the Russian Federation, communist orgs only critically support it in its actions undermining the global hegemony of western imperialism. Nobody really likes the modern Russian Federation, and everyone would rather the soviet union still be here.
