communism is not innately authoritarian same with libertarianism and capitalism instead its bad actors that make it so and once bad actors get involved then communism is not meeting its definition. china is a weird one where its communist in name alone with its hybrid economic system and repressive regime which goes against core principles of socialism/communism. i think the death of the USSR which had lead the revolution, as well as the many western embargoes on socialist countries have soured relations.

if your interested in podcasts id like to recommend you listen to blowback as it follows US hostilities against socialism/communism. i believe its on several platforms

you make a good point that Tiktok is doing some shady stuff but meta were court covertly collecting data from Snapchat through unknowing users devices.

Facebook whistleblowers testimony where she speaks of fb knowing the harm the platform does, and knows that fb targets minors even though Facebook has a minimum age 13.

should Facebook be banned or at least forced to sell? this is why the fiasco is coming across as anti-communist, an extension of cold war hostilities.

IOW the US putting its foot down on TikTok is anti-communist, but accepting everything else gets a pass

Tiktok offers no financial incentive to America unlike Chinese exports, apple are not about to pay a reasonable amount to create an iPhone in America, china is in a pretty good position with its fabrication and engineering, consumer products or even solar panels are far superior to what America can make on a similar budget.

Funny that you point out the mistrust of (in this context of social media) western products as being exploitative when the Chinese exploitation of data and use of algorithms to manipulate what we see on TikTok is exactly one of the reasons the US wants the sale.

this is because you view things through a capitalist scope, i am guilty of this too. Facebook as linked in the above article does the same.

i was not talking about a tipping point, i was focused on the geopolitics in my original comment.

Anti communist? With everything else we buy from China

would you argue America to be pro communist?

this is the tipping point to be anti-communist?

maybe but i’ll be honest, i dont know what you mean by this, the fight against communism has been a steady state of proxy wars, embargoes, surveillance and propaganda campaigns, so i would definitely say banning tiktok sits within embargo and propaganda.

How about all the US social media platforms that China won’t let in?

yea socialism is apposed/untrusting of capitalist products, usually seen as exploitive by the communist this is due in part to the never ending revolution.

Is that “anti-capitalist?”

100%

squid_slime , to technology in ByteDance won't sell TikTok, would rather pull it from the US

socialism has always been anti capitalism. socialism is based on principles like international revolution and a highly configured economic structures whereas capitalism is extraction of capital which western countries have been doing in china as much as china will allow but this isn’t what i am arguing.

something to keep in mind is that we don’t buy tiktok, similarly to meta and alphabet (google).

brief easy to read history of cold war activity.

Cuba and North Korea (the forgotten war) are both good to look in to. i hope the history can bring context to my previous statement as geopolitics is never as it seems.

I do wonder if this is america being anti communist as history has shown before. Not to say China is actually communist but the economic system is hybrid socialist/capitalist and China is catching up or surpassing america so with this said what’s to say america starts using this tactic against more of chinas Chinese owned exports?

Beyond that america has meta which has done much the same as tiktok, targeting youth, furthering mental health issue, spying, anti trust and coverups yet they get a slap on the wrists.

squid_slime OP , to gaming in kingdom come: deliverance II reveal

It was a highly grossing game so he’ll probably have pr handlers and a tight leash, at least I hope he does

squid_slime OP , to gaming in kingdom come: deliverance II reveal

That quote is plain wrong for sure, port cities would of had plenty of diversity in the form of traders, rural Bohemia would of been a different story though I doubt many would have any interaction beyond stories.

So I wouldn’t say the lack of poc is historically inaccurate given the size of the towns in game but I think the devs should have added travellers or a poc trader.

As to sexism there’s a dlc which allows control of a female protagonist, it doesn’t suffer the damsel in distress that some other stories do and was fairly enjoyable, bit of a bandade.

squid_slime OP , to gaming in kingdom come: deliverance II reveal

I doubt that the creator didn’t think poc existed in mediaeval Europe rather he didn’t think there were many poc in rural mediaeval Europe, but its a video game so a poc trader would of gone along along way for the studio to avoid back lash.

I should imagine its another vehicle to a dictatorship

I commend the amount of effort this post took, thank you for sharing as I didn’t know of maga communism which off the bat is an oxymoron akin to national socialism

Short hand for patriotic socialism. Which goes against Marxist ideals
