As I said, I don’t think the poster was intending to promote them in any way.

Neutrality Studies is not a communist outlet and i hope that everyone here is aware of that and approaches any content that they put out with an awareness of the possibility that their guests are going to be people with some reactionary views.

Everything you wrote about Joti Brar and CPGB-ML is true and it is important that people are aware of this, but i don’t see how that is grounds for reporting this post.

I don’t think the intention of the poster was promoting either the CPGB-ML nor Joti Brar. I haven’t watched the video yet but from the title it doesn’t seem like it’s promoting those reactionary views which you mentioned but rather providing a geopolitical perspective on the Ukraine proxy war and the West’s larger obsession with Russia.

In that sense I think it is acceptable so long as the poster adds a content warning that the speaker being platformed has reactionary views on LGBT issues. People share articles and videos from much more reactionary sources than the CPGB-ML. Or do you think that every military or geopolitical analysis that has ever been shared here has always been strictly by pro-LGBT communists?

Good point.

a) fines that do not scale with at least income if not net wealth are only really punishing for the poor and a mere nuisance for the rich

b) poor people are much more likely to be stopped and charged by police than rich and influential people; poor people also have to drive themselves more as they can’t afford to have others do the driving for them

c) when a charge goes to court only the well off can really engage in a legal battle; poor people have neither the means nor the time to engage with the justice system, so they very often end up not even fighting the charges

Unless you solve these issues first no amount of reform is going to fix the underlying problem.

Yemen really might just be the most based country on earth…after the DPRK.

No Mao either. Makes me sad…

You can ease them into it by first going on holiday in China. Once they see how full of shit western propaganda is about communist states it’s not as big of a leap to suggest visiting the DPRK one day.

What is insane about this is that this is not total wealth, it’s per capita. So you can’t even argue that it’s because China’s population is over four times larger. And a lot of this is because of debt. Americans are crazy indebted.

Some of the stuff you see happening in China is just unthinkable by western standards. Working class families can actually afford to save up enough money to buy their young adult children their own home. Imagine that!

Just typical imperial core socdem things…

I definitely agree with your message.

do you have any idea how to improve?

Sorry, i’m not good with memes. I’m a bit of a boomer in regards to this online culture stuff. I leave the meme production to the youngins.

I get what you’re trying to say, but i’m not sure the meme format fits the message. We’re not rejecting the above in favor of communism, because all those things come with communism. You said as much in the title but the meme itself could still be misleading to someone who doesn’t read the title.

I think that’s a sensible red line to draw. You have to draw a line somewhere. It’s not like that person couldn’t find another job elsewhere.

We always say that other countries cannot simply one-to-one copy everything China does, but this is one case where it is absolutely the right move to copy China’s anti-desertification campaign. I hope that they either send people to China to observe and learn China’s techniques or ask China to send a few experts over to teach them. This is not just an environmental initiative, it has very positive long term impacts on the local economy and agriculture.

Irredeemable sick society…

Another day, another DPRK banger.

Inshallah 🙏

If China had initiated the ban it would have been viewed as an unjustified violation of free trade, which is against the image China has cultivated for itself. Trump already showed in his first term that he cannot resist starting trade wars, and China understands this too. All they had to do was let the US make the mistake everyone knew they were bound to make and give China the justification for retaliating.

The DPRK never miss (in foreign policy). They are literally the world’s moral compass in geopolitical matters.
