Hong Kong’s oldest and largest pro-~~democracy~~ Capitalism political party is moving to disband
Sounds like a reason to celebrate.
I was wondering how long till a tankie wandered into the comment section to “well acktshually” us.
Waaahh waaah, everyone I disagree with is a tankie!
Yeah, the American media just telling it how it is. That’s what they do.
American Media telling it how it is.
Holy shit, what kind of stupid pill did you take before writing this? The propaganda machine got you pal. Your an agent now.
You must be joking. You think the American media isn’t part of the propaganda machine?
Your reading comprehension could really use some work.
Do you feel better now? You got on the internet and attempted to insult someone. You did good.
You are right, making fun of the mentally impaired is quite bad. I'll have to take a hard look in the mirror tonight, and wonder how I will sleep at night.
I think that someone missed a /s in this thread.
полезные дураки.
I thought luigi was italian, not russian 😳
Of course! Dictatorship won't through terror and torture, that always is a cause to celebrate because the group that lost might be your personal pet peeve.
You're an idiot, tankie
Wait... what?
Because China and Hong Kong are so staunchly anti-capitalism? 😂
Super weird take.
The People's Republic of China is a socialist country
Since when are socialists pro-capitalism?
If you had more than a single iota of geopolitical knowledge you would understand how fucking dumb that statement is.
Oh boy. Angered the American libs. Freeeeedom!
I don't see what your lack of education has to do with my politics.
Huh. What? I am definitely not coming to the defense of capitalism. Just trying to help you understand that it's noy a relevant factor here.
Your original comment is confused at best. China is communist in many ways but absolutely has a thriving capitalist based economy. The idea that the CCP would be threatened by a "capitalist party" is incoherent and silly.
You're making some super huge leaps and I'm not sure why.
Why do you think China has a capitalist economy? Because it is thriving? It is indeed! But this is unrelated to capitalism. Capitalism is not economy good and international market access, socialism share potato and live happily.
Capitalism is the control of means of production by a few individuals and exploitation of the workers enabled by this private possession. In China, the small and medium companies are allowed to be private but the bigger companies or the ones in critical fields are nationalized. Something like 80% of investment firms are public as well

I never said they were threatened. If anyone is making huge leaps, it would be you. You’re making big assumptions based on two sentences. An American media company publishes an article about a dying liberal party in China as if that’s a bad thing. It’s only capitalistic when it’s convenient for you libturds. Otherwise, it’s a “scary state run Chinese company.” I never said capitalism doesn’t exist in the country. You have a funny way of “helping.”
🙄
Okay. Sounds good. You're on a war path against the stereotyped strawman you've set up, so I don't really need to be involved anymore. Carry on. Idc.
