my dad, an insane anticommunist, is in love with china he recently discovered how developed china is and wants to visit China lol.
which bring me to ask you, how should i spproach him about their politics, he has convinced himself that theyre “more” capitalist than the US and thats why theyre so developed 😂 its pretty funny because you can find communist iconography in every video
Is your dad one of the willingfully ignorant person who use redefinition of words to conclude that successful example of Marxism are success of Capitalism? Did he even know about the actual definition of Communism? I know that my abusive ableist family had fled mainland China before the Communist takeover to continue their toxic authoritarian tradition from the Chinese warlord period, but my family now praise the mainland Chinese government for their leadership to the current prosperity of China despite their hatred of Communism. Is your dad similar in some way?
In CGTN, there are videos in spanish explaning how democracy works in China such as this one -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEoFJ6-dBbc
This could help with you anti communist dad. That’s what I have been exposing my father in law and my family in general.
