Now make one with Trump Putin and Pooh with clown masks. More globally accurate.

That's anti-government view, not marxist-leninist.

[–] randomname@lemmy.org 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, it’s anti-billionaire simp view.

[–] amemorablename@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Xi is not a billionaire, nor works for their interests. China in general does not work for the interests of billionaires.

[–] randomname@lemmy.org 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

lol. Any country that allows billionaires to exist are working for the interests of the billionaires.

No amount of holy water liberates a people. At some point you have to come down to reality and engage with it as it is, not as a pure ideal.

[–] randomname@lemmy.org 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

lol, that’s how you get capitalism and billionaires. Where are those tanks you love so much? Wimp.

[–] amemorablename@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So you don't actually want to be rid of billionaires, you want to concern troll; put on a pretense of being on roughly the same side, but then mock the same side that you're supposedly on.

[–] randomname@lemmy.org 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

You’re the one siding with billionaires. You can try to tell me what I am all day long but it doesn’t make you right.

Racists like you are a lot more forgettable than you think. Yawn. Another person thinking they know better than over a billion people who have one of the most developed democratic projects in the world.

[–] randomname@lemmy.org 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Racist? lol more lies from an ML. Shocker.

[–] amemorablename@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, you're pretty racist. I mean, going with the Winnie the Pooh caricature is racist all on its own. But it's also racist to act like you know better than over a billion of a people just cause you want your vibes-based political analysis to cling to. God the arrogance of it.

[–] randomname@lemmy.org 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The Pooh meme is him alone, not Chinese people.

[–] pyromaiden@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

Winnie the Pooh is literally the color yellow.

The racism really isn't that subtle.

[–] amemorablename@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

It's a western cartoon bear character being used to negatively caricature a Chinese world leader. Who the fuck do you think would promote a thing like that? Chinese people born in China whose native language is Chinese and grew up with Chinese media, not Christopher fucking Robin? Or westerners who love to be racist for hundreds of goddamn years.

Well, you did refer to Xi Jinping as "Pooh", which is quite the racist trope in this political landscape (and the fact that you only used the wrong name for Xi Jinping and not Putin or Trump says that you are certainly some strange type of communist that is anti-AES: Maoist?)

Edit: Hmm, maybe not, because you say "more lies from an ML"... some dogmatic Marxist?

[–] randomname@lemmy.org 0 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

How is the Pooh meme racist? It’s not about Chinese people it’s about him specifically.

Does Putin have a joke name? I’d be happy to use that.

And, Orange man is boring. Epstein’s Boyfriend?

[–] pyromaiden@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

Unless Epstein and Trump had a confirmed sexual and/or romantic relationship - which to my knowledge they did not - calling them "boyfriends" is very explicitly homophobic. I don't think I need to explain why but I can if you need me to.

[–] LeninZedong@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Saying that it is not racist because it is only about one person is like saying "I am not a racist, because I only drew Obama as a monkey! It is not about black people in general", which is an awful excuse. Also, what type of communist or leftist are you? I expect the Pooh comparison to be from liberals at the most progressive.

Edit: By the way, what leftist are you?

[–] SNAFU@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I love Weenie the Pooh's very distinct color of yellow. It really suits the Chinese leader- and the black simple eyes too. We should put a rice hat on him too and buck teeth. It will really complete it and show Xi who is boss

[–] LeninZedong@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I cannot tell if this is satire or if you are defending the racist imagery: I assume the former?

[–] SNAFU@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

The former.

[–] pyromaiden@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

If you want to make the argument that China is a capitalist state then you need to produce an actual argument to make that case, not just point at the existence of billionaires and shout: "Behold, capitalism!"

Explain your theory, present your evidence, and make your case. I can assure you that the average Marxist will at least engage with it honestly - even if they don't necessarily agree - so long as it is made in good faith, using reliable sources, and rooted in a dialectical materialist analysis.

Regardless pivoting to Xi is really rather irrelevant. The original point of the meme was to make fun of U.S. liberals and their perception of U.S. politics. China has nothing to do with this and so bringing it up appears defensive; hence why you were accused of being American by another user.

[–] rainpizza@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Dejavu. Not sure why I but I remember that you responded to a similar person that had this exact same view a couple of months(?) ago.

Is this the new trend with racist anticommunists?

[–] amemorablename@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

Very well could be. I assume there's some kind of empire talking points getting pushed that people like this latch onto, but with how little I pay attention to empire media these days, I can only guess generally on it in that way. Not clear on what sources specifically might be feeding into it. Reddit brain is all I can think of as potentially familiar about it, but I haven't paid much attention to reddit in a while.

“I think everyone is in the US if they don’t agree with me, even though I’m also in the US which means I only think about the US”

[–] SNAFU@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Nah, you're just allowing for State Department propaganda against actually anti-imperialist (even if only in circumstance), or even anti-capitalist, entites to exist. You allow for the subversive dismantling of trust, faith, and legitimacy in the few powers that actually can hold up to the United States. You're 'both-sides'ing this, equating the exploitative dominance that the US has had over the world, for decades, to the mere existence of these other countries. The effects of the US imperial system reaches around the world and affects millions, if not billions. The US has been the unipolar power of the world since the fall of the Soviet Union- only until recently has that changed. Of course, it's a popular subject. You're sounding like a typical anti-government(s) conservative, by the by. I know you hate Trump, cuckservatives, Libertarians, etc- but you're pushing the same shit as them. All goberment bad

[–] m532@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That would be the version for the radlibs that want to preserve the burger empire. You can make it yourself.

[–] randomname@lemmy.org 0 points 2 weeks ago

Sounds more like the version for people who know the big 3 are the real problem in the world.

[–] LeninZedong@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

This post became really active all of a sudden lol
