What would you call the position that defends authoritarian communism even to the point of justifying genocide and brutal suppression of opposition and free press?

What the fuck does that question have to do with anything? The US could have a personal hatred for every individual Uyghur Muslim in the world and China would still be in the midst of trying to genocide them.

Could you link a source that doesn't lead back to one religious zealot who thinks he's on a godsent mission to destroy beijing and asked like 8 people how many uighurs they "thought" were in reeducation centers, then extrapolating these numbers to the entire Xinjiang population ?

I'm an American and I care, so at least partially yes, America does care. And because we have a democracy, the government (at least imperfectly) reflects the priorities of the people.

But I also agree with the other poster that doesn't really have anything to do with anything we were taking about

The only thing our government reflects is the priorities of capital..
