Communists that you find on internet are not just 13 year olds from america, there is a world out there you libs/conservatives from americkkka. It is really funny you guys still make this joke. Communists comes in different age, colour, from different countries. It is not a phase in the life of rebellious children from your country. So please don't come here to infantilize us.

Hey, the CPC has 90 million active members but they must all be naive, idiotic children, right? Truly they are too stupid to understand that our Western ideology is far more superior.

Here’s why the CPC aren’t true communists tho sweaty US foreign policy

Ironically most Chinese people would fall under the Okay category

What does “active members” mean? That number seems kind of low for a country of 1.4 billion

[–] CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

being a member of the CPC comes with duties and other obligations because you represent the state. For example you should be married before joining or at least in a relationship because they don't want you to date around due to the power implications (you being a member and the people you date not being members).

It's not like joining a party in liberal democracies where you just pay the dues and then do whatever.

Thanks for the explanation! That makes much more sense now.

I don't fully know what it entails but the CPC has 98 million party members. For a population of 1.4 billion that seems low, but you have to remember that not every single person has the ambition to be politically involved. Many people just live their lives without being member of a political party. And even then, almost 1 in 14 people being member of the biggest party in the country is pretty massive.

But random attacks on the character of their enemy is the only way they know how to dismiss a position that disagrees with theirs! What else could they possibly do other than call us names? If they actually listened to us they might realise we have something to say.

That's it. The only way to remain an anti-communist is to refuse to read communist literature. Anyone who reads communist theory will either become a communist or know that communists are right (and become a figure like McCarthy).

Which is why they have so many traps and mental safety nets designed to push people away from socialism and reading communist literature. The lib will have a million excuses to never actually pick up a book.
