a lot of folks on the anti-communist left fall into a sort of nihilistic despair at the state of things because they are unwilling to see the incredible advances in actual socialist projects as real, leaving an increasingly derelict capitalist structure as the only thing that exists in their perspective. which, in fairness, would also make me rather depressed! getting over the hurdle of accepting that socialism exists in real life does just totally ameliorate that, however.

"Free Tibet! I'm Woke! Free Tibet! Let Them Have The Right To Enslave Serfs again!"

so true bestie. When we do imperialism its actually good and wholesome because we bring them freedom and progress and industry and enlightenment. These have never been used as justification for colonial projects right?

Hawaii and Tibet could not be more opposite. In the former, we have a sovereign nation invaded by foreign powers and seized, with dramatic decreases in literacy and increases in poverty for the indigenous population afterwards. In the latter, we have an integrated vassal of a former feudal empire, whose local nobility when threatened by revolution and democratization tried and failed to secede because their own serfs rose up against them, resulting in massive increases in their quality of life.

The entire "free Tibet" movement is a Western campaign to try and impose feudal rulers on a population that does not want them for the purpose of undermining the Communist Party of China. If the Dalai Lama had his way, the people of Tibet would become less free than they are now.
