    What would you call the position that defends authoritarian communism even to the point of justifying genocide and brutal suppression of opposition and free press?

      Some kind of ultra-leftism maybe?

      I don’t support justifying genocide. Since you’re probably talking about Xinjiang though, do you think the US actually cares about Muslims in China considering its actions in the Middle East?

        What the fuck does that question have to do with anything? The US could have a personal hatred for every individual Uyghur Muslim in the world and China would still be in the midst of trying to genocide them.

        I’m an American and I care, so at least partially yes, America does care. And because we have a democracy, the government (at least imperfectly) reflects the priorities of the people.

        But I also agree with the other poster that doesn’t really have anything to do with anything we were taking about
