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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

PSL stay the only serious choice. That's so pathetic that a particularly right-wing democrat could have written it.

What did PSL say about China?

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago (2 children)

PSL defends the Soviet Union's suppression of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.[25]

The party supports the Communist Party of China,[7][24] criticizing only its capitalist economic reforms.[25] PSL argues that "militant political defense of the Chinese government" is necessary to stave off "counterrevolution, imperialist intervention and dismemberment".[26][24] PSL defends China's human rights records,[7] and strongly denies that the People's Liberation Army massacred student protestors in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre.[24][27][25] PSL denies that China has suppressed democracy in Hong Kong.[28][29]

Based takes by PSL holy shit I didn't think Americans could believe any of this.

They've done a lot with regards to China. Breakthrough News is from them, and they have the China Report these days with Amanda Yee and KJ Noh. Ken Hammond, one of the co-founders of the Confucius Institute, member of Pivot for Peace, and one of the US's premier experts on China, is a card carrying member of PSL. So it's one of their party lines to support the CPC.

The latest position I can find of theirs as of 3 weeks ago: https://www.instagram.com/pslnational/p/DAUF6mvyiLW/

No to the new cold war and the defense-industrial complex benefiting from it. Instead of stoking WW3, invest that money in social programmes and infrastructure.
