I can't commit to a new site when I hear all these horror stories about anarchist chapo admins mocking, silencing and banning communists. I need to know that this will be a left unity project and that sectarianism won't be tolerated. That I won't be attacked for defending China / NK. That I won't be called a "tankie" for explaining that gulags were a progressive form of justice. That liberals spreading imperialist propaganda about the Uighurs or Honk Kong reactionaries will be shut down immediately and not given room to breathe. The MLs in the chapo community need the admins and mods to make us these promises so we can trust this site and devote our time to posting here.

    I agree with you, but you can't say all Uighurs are terrorists. You could say Xinjiang had/has a problem with islamist terrorism, but you can't paint all of them as terrorists.

      All the ones that are in internment for being terrorists, not all the Uighurs. Some are just being trained.

        Most of the ones in the facilities aren't there for terrorism! They're there for minor crimes. Stop parroting CIA propaganda.

        Terrible take. You can see my post last night to see that I am willing to discuss the situation in good faith, but I'll absolutely take le both sides on this one and say "every person in the internment camps is a terrorist" is just as inaccurate as "the internemnt camps are proto-death camps"
