Why does the PRC control Tibet, East Turkmenistan and Inner Mongolia? They are not Han Chinese and they wish to be independent countries. Why do they force minorities to abandon their language and culture? Why does the CCP want to invade Taiwan? Why does the CCP want complete control of the South China Sea?
Why can't you be a Socialist and support electoral politics? Why don't you support independence movements as a socialist? Why can't you support the right to protest as a socialist? Why does your idea of socialism involve revering the Soviet Union and PRC who have commited authoritarian policies?
Don't blindly follow any govt that labels themselves socialist. Life isnt so Black and White.
Why cant you oppose American Colonialism without siding with Authoritarians who hide behind the guise of socialism. Authoritarians should not be considered socialists. What they are actually doing is essentially Feudalism.
Any enemy of USA does not automatically make them socialist.
Also do you support the rights of Palestinians?
"Tankie" is a meaningless term. The PRC has a system that is right for China. Attempts to copy-paste a system that was designed for different historical and material conditions than your own will produce suboptimal results. Every country needs to arrive at a solution to the problem of building socialism that is built on a solid dialectical materialist analysis and adapted to their particular circumstances.
