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."

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.
