Blinken practices Liberal Appeasement: "Do not support Taiwan's Independence".

Chinese notion of high degree of commie-ness is also quite unique.     It somehow involve outright private ownership of 2/3 of the country’s industrial and agricultural enterprises.     Even more strangely, it also has this new fangled gimcrack thing called “the stock market”.      on this “stock market”,  whippersnapper private investors with enough money can somehow de-collectivize those collectively owned means of production that would have been Karl Marx or Vladimir Lenin’s idea of the central essence of communism.

Ayup. Chinese ‘communism’ bears the same relation to Marxism-Leninism that a wallet bears to a walrus (ie, none to speak of).

Honestly, given that America has defaulted to that exact position since a decade before I was born, the real news story should be that people are actually surprised by this statement.

Liberals scare you, OP? Conservatives scare me. That's not a good thing for conservatives.

That’s how young voters are going to save your country. Conservative buzz words like ‘liberal’ and ‘socialism’ don’t scare them.

It's not my country evidently. I've been told I get it dirty. This from a preacher to "deprograms people like you."

Very dark things are going on in Commie China, led by the Commie CCP, including Persecution of Uyghur Muslims and other Human Right Violations. CFR: "More than a million Muslims have been arbitrarily detained in China’s Xinjiang region. The reeducation camps are just one part of the government’s crackdown on Uyghurs ... The United States determined that China’s actions constitute genocide, while a UN report said they could amount to crimes against humanity."

Karl Marx, the Atheistic Communist behind Marxism, wrote this on Revolutionary Terror: "In his article "The Victory of the Counter-Revolution in Vienna" in the Neue Rheinische Zeitung (No. 136, 7 November 1848), Karl Marx wrote that there is only one means to shorten, simplify and concentrate the murderous death throes of the old society and the bloody birth pangs of the new, only one means—revolutionary terrorism" (Wiki) This notion that Marx was a good person is an absurdity.

Sure, the CCP recognized Marx was a Bad Economist, granted, lol. Who doesn't know that already, exactly? But they haven't given up other aspects of his absurd ideas, including Revolutionary Terror and authoritarian rule once Communism is established.

Maria Spiridinova, one of the first Russian ladies to be disillusioned with the "glories" of Communism (once she saw what it really was about), wrote: " Maria Spiridonova, at the time in prison awaiting trial. In her Open Letter to the Central Executive of the Bolshevik party, she wrote: "Never in the most corrupt of Parliaments, never in the most venal papers of capitalist society has hatred of opponents reached such heights of cynicism as your hatred. These nightly murders of fettered, unarmed, helpless people, these secret shootings in the back, the unceremonious burial on the spot of bodies, robbed to the very shirt, not always quite dead, often still groaning, in a mass grave—what sort of Terrorism is this?"

Anyway, to what someone asked, yes, I disagree with Commie-bootlicking-appeasement no matter whether Democrat or Republican does it. Prez. Raegan got it right in his time, Peace through Strength is what brought down Communism in the Soviet Union; today, I agree with Nikki Haley.

NATO recently started talks to open an office in Japan. The logical thing for NATO to do to counter Commie China is include Asian Countries like Japan, South Korea, India and the Philippines, beside other democratic countries, in the Alliance. Don't be fooled by the CCP's games. It's gonna invade Taiwan.

I just read the Russia-Ukraine thread and saw many thought Russia would not invade. And then it did. Always better to be well prepared anyway.

A US General said: "My gut tells me will fight in 2025". Biden contradicted Blinken a while ago, btw, for he said the US would militarily stop China if it tried to invade Taiwan. More crazy liberal appeasement, self-contradictions, and evidence that not Bidenhimself, but others, run the White House.

The only possible thing that could deter Commie China from invading Taiwan is not their self-restraint and moral considerations, but a strong Alliance of all freedom-loving nations where the Free World makes it clear to Commie China that the world will not tolerate an invasion of Taiwan.

"China is strongest and most disciplined 'enemy' the US ever faced, warns Nikki Haley. We need to hold China accountable. Let's start with Covid", she said. Time to wake up, Commie-sympathizers. If Communism wins, it won't be pleasant for any of us, freedom-loving Atheists included.

Marx is the atheist communist behind Marxism?   You realize Marxism predated communism and no one who actually knows what he is talking about called Marx himself a communist, right?

In fact, it is extremely likely Marx himself would have taken a very dim view of communists had he lived long enough to see the communists as the name took on its 20th century connotation, rather than its original 19th century meaning of “the french rebels who formed the Paris Commune in the aftermath of the Franco Prussian war”.

Marx himself was not a Communist? Lol. Guess that's why he wrote the Communist Manifesto. "The Communist Manifesto summarises Marx and Engels' theories concerning the nature of society and politics, namely that, in their own words, "[t]he history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles". It also briefly features their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would eventually be replaced by socialism. In the last paragraph of the Manifesto, the authors call for a "forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions", which served as a call for communist revolutions around the world.[1][2]" (Wiki)

Now, here's some information, for those who wish to profit from it, about how Communists think and why Appeasement is deadly. If you want to wake up before it's too late, you can. If not, that's also ok. But I will not stop speaking the Truth about what Communists have done and how they think.

Bolshevik Revolutionary Dmitry Manuilsky declared, "War to the hilt between communism and capitalism is inevitable. But today we are too weak to strike. Our day will come in 30-40 years. But first we must lull the capitalist nations to sleep with the greatest overtures of peace and disarmament known throughout history. And then, when their guard is dropped, we will smash them with our clenched fist."

It is the oldest trick in the book, the Trojan Horse of a False Peace, to let your enemy drop their guard, so that you can "smash them with our clenched fist." this is how Commies think. The Communist Chinese Party is influenced by the same madness that influenced the Bolshevik Terrorists.
