"Stop copjacketing! Copjacketing is one of the worst things you can do. Copjacketing is akin to using slurs!

Anyway, to build socialism in the US we need a Big Tent approach. Embrace your Biden-voting and Ex-Nazi comrades, but watch out for toxic pro-China tankies!"
Going around calling people cops is extremely divisive!
Why would you say such *hurtful* things?
Would the CIA really put all that effort into shaping the attitudes of left spaces?

A good example of racism is how Chinaphobes invoke the 2010 Foxconn suicide nets story.

"China" is forever held responsible (not Taiwan, Apple, or consumers), their handling of it ignored.

Meanwhile, inexcusable warmongering by AOC or Sanders today is excused as "tactical."
I think it's one of the most important ones to study because it captures broader dynamics.

The beneficiaries of Apple products were *Western consumers*, but the story was crafted in such a way that they could expunge their *own* guilt and pin it on the Chinese.
Marx discusses a lot how the relationship between capitalists and workers is vampiric.

The capitalist *knows* he owes everything to workers. This clashes with the überman superiority they wish to project. The exploiter sees his dependency on proles as an embarrassing secret.

Try to visualize what the authors of these books look like. ImageImageImageImage
Imagine actually aligning ideologically with one of these dipshits just so they can buy their second houseboat or whatever. ImageImageImageImage
Where do these losers below end up if their efforts at selling the war pans out, and they manage to take credit for chunks of it?

Up above.

Thinking about how "celebrity left" pigs like Don Hughes close ranks to defend their buddy Matt Bruenig's racism. ImageImageImage
So many "you just don't get it he's doing a bit" responses... 😂

It's literally Jon Stewart/South Park all over again.

First as farce then, also, as farce. Garbage then, garbage now.
This is the same scene that insists that there's absolutely nothing wrong with gorging on Marvel movies, and that if you treat them seriously as military propaganda you're some kind of tryhard wokescold.

What a weird coincidence!

The anti-China "left" is having a hard time coping with the fact that their favourite bit of "Marxist" atrocity porn, "Spirit Breaking" at ChuangCN, was repurposed Falun Gong propaganda written by a Kissinger Institute agent using an alias. ImageImageImageImage
I liked this post because it reveals the depth of their racism.

This toad believes that China would ineptly publish unedited government statistics that expose their otherwise super-secret genocide, but some doughy white careerist ghoul being lazy is just not realistic. Image
Byler is literally just a redwashed Adrian Zenz. Even under his "Adam Hunerven" alias he cites Adrian Zenz extensively.

Ultras really went and lifted their China understanding from this dude just because he used wounded instead of jingoistic language.

I need people to understand that it's no hyperbole to state that the vast majority of "Marxist Academics" in the West are simply paid to produce anti-communist propaganda and make up stuff like this Deng "quote."

It's not an edgy statement, it's a viable really-existing career.
ChuangCN writes about "the slaughterhouse called capitalism" while publishing a Kissinger Institute Fellow.
Jacobin publishes this nerd who literally drills his students to hate Stalin and China, tells them not to read Marx directly, and recommends they read instead him and a guy who got a medal from the NED.
