It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

foreign policy is a weaker area, I would say. I think it's certainly based more on a long-term view of geopolitics, as best as I can tell the Party seems to be essentially thinking "The logic of Marxism is ironclad enough that we can be sure that even if we have to wait 70 years, development of these countries like that which we have been doing with the Belt and Road will result in a transition from capitalism to socialism; we need not rock the boat like the USSR did, we can simply wait, give some nudges, and everything will fall into place"
the unfortunate part of this obviously is that countries and socialist parties/movements that could really use a shitload of arms (that China could easily produce and supply with its massive industry) probably won't get them, or if they do then it'll be in relatively small quantities so as to not trigger suspicion.
their foreign policy is much better than America's obviously but they'd have to dig past the bedrock of hell itself to even approach that bar
also their massive amounts of coal plants. don't get me wrong, they're also the biggest renewable producer by far and there are legitimate reasons why they need a ton of power generation even if it's the shittiest form, I know the arguments, but it still fucking sucks that they're making as many as they are
Don’t look at the factions China supported during the Sino Soviet Split
People are speaking in the present tense, we're not defending Deng's foreign policy
Yes foreign policy is a very weak area
I found it really disappointing when they gave weapons to the Philippines government to use against the revolutionary army there.
