China campits exist. There are fantastic sources of information about China who are not even remotely Marxist and just support China for whatever reason. I am wondering what percentage of China supporters do you think that applies to?
IDK about the west, but in China yes. A lot of people put Chinese interests over international ones (advocating for exploitation of countries or conquering others (it’s 2024 bro this aint hoi4)), not like the government gives a fuck about them. Of course I generally hang around the Chinese equivalent of youtube comment sections, so probably sampling bias.
That’s about what I expected. It’s the same in the west. Very few people are ardent neoliberals but many just support their team (if they are politically active at all).
Does it matter? Whatever someone’s reasons are for supporting China, the important thing is that they do. Results are what matter. The fact that millions of people around the world have a positive view of a prospering socialist state that is currently the biggest threat to the global imperialist hegemony is conducive to our goals as Marxist-Leninists and anti-imperialists.
In general i care less about why someone does something and more that they do it.
Campism is based, actually.
None. Camping isn’t really legal in China so you can’t really camp there. I don’t think it’s a full on arrest-able offence, but you will be told that you have to leave if you pitch a tent out in the woods, and there are no campgrounds or anything like that as far as I know.
Since there’s only like 5 Marxists-Leninists on Earth, a lot.
am i one of these few MLs?
We take turns since spots are limited.
sounds a bit anarchist
I can’t take anyone who uses this slur seriously.
I don’t think slur is the appropriate word to use here.
There are people who simply support China because it isn’t the US. For example, one of the best sources for economic news about China is Inside China Business. He lives in China and supports China but he literally thinks that the reason for China’s success is that God is rewarding them for being the largest Christian nation and punishing the US for abandoning the faith. I don’t know what other word to describe this guy and people like him as.The only time I see this term being used it when Trotskyists run out of road and have nothing else to say. Then they apply it incorrectly as a mindless slur. I don’t see it applying to the Inside China Business guy. I don’t know what you call him, a religious nut? A right winger?
