You think that China does not extract any economic value out of Tibet? That’s pure naivete.

The victorious imperialists ALWAYS claim that their subjugation of another is to the benefit of that other nations. Always.

Yes yes yes, China freed and liberated Tibet by taking it over. Of course. Nothing imperialist about that.

Just like the US has been liberating and freeing all those people in the middle east.

Let’s start with Tibet.

Being anti-tankie does not make you anti-communist.

Modern day China is both capitalist and emperialist and has a disregard for basic human rights. It is not in any way shape or form a communist state. Oh, and it actively tries to censor and erase the fact that it ran down its own citizens with tanks.

You cannot acknowledge anything even slightly negative that China has ever done without being jumped all over

By “being slightly critical” they mean even slightly implying that China is not in every way a completely perfect utopian paradise incapable of doing wrong.

I’m a socialist but not a tankie. Criticizing tankies!= criticizing socialists
