Enrolled in a class on Chinese politics and the first lecture was so unbelievably chock-full of lib talking points. Some that I can recall:
- calling China a “closed autocracy” and “authoritarian”
- mentioned that when surveyed, Chinese people rate the level of democracy in their country higher than Americans do for theirs, but with the caveat that they could be under “censorship”
- showed the “democracy map” that’s just this
and of course China is lowly rated on the democracy scale - showed this chart that was literally like “Stalin and Mao killed more people than Hitler!!!”

There was also language about how the Core Socialist Values get “hammered” into people’s heads in China, which definitely doesn’t happen in the free West 
Might be a long semester if I stay in this course 
Edit: class has been dropped 


“Yes but it is important to remember the humanitarian cost of all the progress made under Stalin and Mao. All the suffering and exploitation people endured.”
Humanitarian cost of “progress” made Uber capitalism? Don’t worry about it, these people should just have used their bootstraps or whatever, you can’t blame the system for them.
