People forget how much liberalism can poison a person’s mind, from doorism, nihilism, to anti-intellectualism
Not a great piece of agitprop. This isn’t going to convince anyone. It’s way too wordy and also gives liberals way too much credit. Liberals who can’t read a single page of theory are never going to listen to all of this. They will check out after the first minute. The sentences are way too long and the words far too complex for them.
The communist persona here is actually arguing against an ultra-leftist who already has a basic notion of what socialism should look like and what modern China is like. Liberals just think “China bad dictatorship, authoritarian, repression, no free speech”. They don’t think China is capitalist (except when they are confronted with its undeniable successes).
And even for an ultra-leftist the arguments made here are too intellectual and theoretical. Ultra-leftists don’t oppose China because they came to the conclusion that its model of development doesn’t conform to traditional Marxist and Leninist theory, they oppose it for vibes-based reasons, so you need to appeal to them in the same way:
“China has billionaires, but they are kept on a tight leash. China imprisons or executes corrupt billionaires when they step out of line. Show me a capitalist country that does that. Show me a capitalist country that builds infrastructure like China. Show me a capitalist country that raises hundreds of millions of people out of poverty.”
They don’t think China is capitalist (except when they are confronted with its undeniable successes).
