I am a Marxist in China
Orthodox Marxists in the Chinese internet community often view Russia and Iran as weak links in imperialism, rather than as anti-imperialist forces .However, in the view of Chinese Marxists, opposing the global hegemony of the United States takes precedence over opposing secondary imperialisms (Iran, Russia).
The person in the picture is Yang Heping, a US citizen with a Chinese green card, and he is the most popular orthodox Marxist-Leninist-Maoist self-media figure on the Chinese internet (with 3 million followers on Tiktok and 800,000 on Bilibili). Yang Heping advocates that whether it’s Ukraine, Russia, or Iran, “the truth is on the side of the proletariat, not on the side of any government or capitalist.”
In China, those who unconditionally support Iran and Russia are usually nationalists or national leftists.
I wonder if the differences between the left-wing in Europe and America and the left-wing in China are really that significant?
The translation isn’t the problem (besides which I can just translate everything you say via google’s translate function), it’s the dogmatic responses that ignore the real world situation and which reads like the thinking of liberals.
你爱怎么想就怎么想吧，你觉得我是自由主义者，那你说的对，我不在乎，如果这个网站觉得我是自由主义者要把我封禁，那就封禁吧
This site, ban you for being a liberal? HA! If we did that this place would be a ghost town. Were all liberals down here comrade. (I’m making a joke, you’ll be fine).
