I wonder who caused that regime to come to power. Could it have been… The US? 😱

At some point it’s really up to the consumers to stop buying shit games

A lot of Americans really want China to go to war with Taiwan.

I think you’re misunderstanding. If China were to invade, it would be over quickly. I’m not saying that China wouldn’t have losses in the process, I’m just saying it wouldn’t take long due to the fact that the island is roughly the size of Maryland. To add to that, I doubt the US would actually get involved and would instead just try to sell weapons to Taiwan, just like Ukraine.

That being said, invasion aside, like as a completely separate course of action, I believe they’d be more likely to take the long term path of embargo. They wouldn’t be bombarding the island, just preventing supplies from coming in or out. They can do this outside of the range of Taiwan’s defenses and Taiwan is incapable of sustaining itself for very long. The war would likely end within a year, the US would probably make a lot of threats, but ultimately wouldn’t sacrifice the US economy for a war with China.

Now, this is really the most important part. It is well within China’s best interest to not invade Taiwan. They have a symbiotic relationship and the whole situation is just posturing between the US and China and has nothing to do with Taiwan at all.

I literally just responded to another comment saying that I don’t believe China would ever invade Taiwan and it’s just US propaganda intended on selling weapons through fear mongering.

No it isn’t. They could carpet bomb the whole island in a week. They don’t even need to step foot on Taiwan to conquer it. Their Navy and Air Force is more than enough. But they’d be more likely to just blockade the country and starve everyone.

That being said, I don’t actually believe China will invade Taiwan. There’s no real incentive. I don’t doubt that they’re expanding their military, but I believe it’s entirely US propaganda intended on selling weapons through fear mongering.

Taiwan is a 13,976 sq mile Island. Yemen is a 214,287 sq mile desert. Ukraine is 233,062 sq miles. It’s not a fair comparison. China could take Taiwan very quickly because it’s a tiny little island. They’re more likely to simply embargo the island though and turn it into the next Cuba.

You should learn what communism actually is. It’ll probably help with your arguments in the future. Read a book.

Post scarcity socialism sure as shit sounds like Communism to me. In fact, one of the most important things when evolving from socialism to Communism is eliminating scarcity

It’s okay to believe in communism and still engage in capitalism because you’re living in a capitalist society. Obviously there’s only so much I can gleam without having known the guy myself. But, that being said, I’m a Communist and as a Communist, I know what Communist dog whistling sounds like and I know that, at the very least, season 1 on TNG is chock full of Communist dog whistling

Who told you Communism is when everything is owned by the state? Communism is when society becomes so technologically advanced and so abundant in resources that the state withers away and currency is no longer needed. So, you know, Star Trek. Also, his wife said he was a Communist

Crazy, because all of those countries have an awful history of human rights violations that was only stopped when they were forced to at gun point. Many of those countries have had recent human rights violations too. You’ve picked countries that’re currently struggling with racist and sexist tendencies actually. You should read some UN human rights violation reports before you make stupid claims.

Authoritarianism is not equal to capabilities. In fact, the Soviet space program was significantly more capable for a very long time

I work in Florida for Raytheon and most of my coworkers likely have a photo of either Reagan or Trump above their fireplace. I don’t get to talk politics very often. My mom knows , but the rest of my family doesn’t. I get into yelling matches with my mom over politics all the time.

Gene Roddenberry was a Communist and I miss the Communist ideals represented in his writing.

Looking at their space station, I think China already has overtaken NASA.

Communism

Xinjiang is not an open air prison populated mostly by children. It’s not being bombed on a daily basis by a superior military force. It’s mostly populated by farmers that are living a normal farmer life. There isn’t actual genocide happening. People aren’t dying in masses. Pretty much not even close to the same living conditions in Gaza
