Brazilian Catholic. Autistic. I was a far-right theocrat until about 2009, when I started a gradual but consistent leftward conversion. I now sympathize with Marxism-Leninism, but am still getting up to speed with feminism and the LGBT movement. Please have patience with this newbie.
Católico brasileiro. Autista. Eu era um teocrata de extrema-direita até aproximadamente 2009, quando iniciei uma gradual mas consistente conversão à esquerda. Hoje sou simpatizante do marxismo-leninismo, mas ainda estou me informando sobre feminismo e movimento LGBT. Por favor tenham paciência com este novato.

World “police”? The real police is at least supposed to fight actual crime. The US is the world warlord.
You give no concrete argument and no evidence. You are just outraged that we dare think different from the capitalist press. Media corporations are not God. They do not even reflect the diversity of views in academia. Universities have some marxists (leninists or trots), anarchists etc., while all the capitalist press is different styles of imperialism.
Oh great. “I lack any remotely credible evidence of my accusation, but that’s because the government has erased all evidence”.
Eqyivalent to: “I lack any remotely credible evidence that the Earth is flat, just as can be expected after the insidious NASA destroyed all evidence”.
Are you trolling? We have asked repeatedly and you provide zero arguments that the picture is from a spooky concentration camp. Produce the evidence that conditions in that prison are worse than USian prisons.
Oh, and the US incarcerates 6 times as many people per capita as China, and institutes wideapread slave prison labor. Do you boycott the US?
Yes, China is evil because you found the picture of a prisioner. The US imprisions 6 times as many people per capita, and has widespread slave prison labor, but China is the threat.
To the defense of China, there are other videos. There is the assessment of dozens of Muslim countries , who sent representatives to Xinjiang.
On the accusation, you have the report by Adrian Zenz a CIA-funded religious fanatic who interviewed 8 people and used colorful extrapolations and interpretations to concoct a genocide narrative.
China is allegedly genociding a Muslim people, but almost no Muslim country buys that narrative. To the defense of those Muslims, come the US government – the entity that kills Muslim people with no hesitation, and also has “destroy China” as its top foreign policy priority. Give me a break.
Let me guess: all those dozens of Muslim brown-people countries are being tricked by China, but white countries are immune to deception.
Jorge@lemmygrad.mltoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Democratic Party Scrambles to fix image1·11 days agoFalse. China has lower inequality and simultaneously far greater economic growth and more innovation.
And Putin is bad, but not remotely as harmful to world peace as the US regime. The US (both parties) has been involved in literally 200 military interventions just in the last few decades.
Democracy is not when a black woman is chosen as the Nurembeg-deserving war criminal in chief.
Jorge@lemmygrad.mltoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Democratic Party Scrambles to fix image2·11 days agoAre you trolling? Technically there exist other parties, but USian election rules (especially FPTP) are mathematically proven to cause such a huge spoiler effect that, even when a big fraction of voters hate both viable parties, electing a single third-party congressman is very unlikely, and electing a third-party president is nearly impossible.
It is like saying that the Earth is not round, because, strictly speaking, it is slightly bulged.
Jorge@lemmygrad.mlto GenZedong@lemmygrad.ml•The western condescension for actually existing socialism1·11 days agoI supposed that because the Baptista dictator was a US lackey, then Cuba was “western”. So only imperialist (not imperialized) US-aligned countries are “western”?
Here in Brazil, cariocas – people from the city of Rio de Janeiro – have a bad reputation, but I actually had pleasant encounters with people when I stayed in the city for more than a month. I do not know if this is analogous to international tourism, but wanted to share this anecdote.
Jorge@lemmygrad.mlto GenZedong@lemmygrad.ml•The western condescension for actually existing socialism1·12 days agoHi. I a new to marxism-leninism, so please excuse my ignorance. You (just like my fellow Brazilian Jones Manoel) say western Marxism never produced a revolution, but what about Cuba? Do you consider the Cuban revolutionaires to be non-western Marxists?
Jorge@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•China tells US to ‘cancel all unilateral tariffs’ if it wants talks2·2 months agoWhat about the hypothesis that in reality Trump wants to “decouple” from China to enhance is military capability in a war on China?
I mean, it is clear to me that the US has little chance to compete on economic/innovation merit, yet it still has a considerable chance militarily… for now. The psychopaths running the US probably know they can only hope to compete via violence, and in a few years even that opportunity will be lost.
I am afraid of WW3. I really hope the US is so blinded by its own neoliberal koolaid that they continue to bet China is about to collapse, as Gordon Chang has been predicting since 2001.

Regarding shutting up, is it an exaggeration for effect? Like when some ML say on the Internet “Mao did nothing wrong”, when actually he was probably 70% good, 30% bad? Honest question.
Civil liberties and women rights are much better in Iran than Saudi Arabia, yet the former is in US-declared “axis of evil” while the latter is a close US ally.
The US has practiced about 200 military interventions just in the last three decades. It killed two millions in Korea, a million in Vietnam, another million in Indonesia, another in the Middle East. It promoted a coup in Iran, which had a secular, progressive, patriotic government, for the crime of nationalizing petroleum, and installed a subservient authoritarian absolute monarch, which was later overthrown – by islamic revolutionaries. The US caused the problem of theocracy in Iran by illegally overthowing the secular government, now you think more US violence will solve it?
The US also promoted coups all over Latin America to overthrow democratic governments and install subservient brutal militarty dictatorships.
Putin has problems, but he is not remotely in the same category of evil as the US regime.
