China courts Germany's far-right populist AfD – DW – 08/11/2023
www.dw.com
external-link
The far-right populist Alternative for Germany party rejects a values-based foreign policy, just as much as it rejects NATO and the US. That approach has attracted the attention of Beijing.

    .ml stands for Marxist-Leninist so for some reason there is generally a lot of praise for China which is closer to fascism than either of those idealogies.

      China which is closer to fascism

      China is a marxist-leninist state. You are politically illiterate.

      Fascism is when The Internationale is the closing song of your 100 year celebrations.

        It’s authoritarian with large amounts of state capitalism combined with high amounts of nationalism. That sure as shit is not communist.

          I am once again asking liberals to learn that words in general have meaning beyond synonyms for “good” and “bad”.

          Fascist states famously sold off large amounts of state assets to capitalists. Nazi Germany even inspired a new word for this, called “privatization” because they did it so much

            Quite the opposite for Nazi Germany for the most part. The corporations became a central part of the state. The alternative name that Mussolini coined for fascism was corporatism for that very reason.

              “In return for business assistance, the Nazis hastened to give evidence of their good will by restoring to private capitalism a number of monopolies held or controlled by the state."

              In other words, the Nazis specifically took certain businesses that were formerly nationalized and then privatized them.

                Corporatism where the employers play a central role in the running of the state was a foundation of fascism.

              this is historically illiterate. the term privatization was coined specifically to describe what the Nazis were doing in Germany.

              Sweety, Albert Speer literally said that NAZI Germany was “an daughter company of IG Farben”.

          Good lord you butchered each and every single term you used in this comment.

          Did you ever have a period in your life where you just shut up and listened until you felt you understood what was going on? It doesn’t appear to be the case from the outside.

          Now that you’re in a community that’s liberated from the US-centric echo chamber you just came from no more than a month ago, it’s a very good opportunity to start now!
