Unrelated to this, I've always found it amusing when the western media use the communist emblem in order to make the communist party seem super powerful. When they show them, they always use the communist symbol and it's weirdly artistic. That makes me feel powerful too, since the communists fight for people like me!
edit : The more people realize their position as workers in their country and the world, the more they will see this propaganda technique for what it is. It will only empower the working class in the end, in my opinion.
It is likely the western media will eventually turn its back on this tactic and portray them as incompetent and disorganized. It's obvious what the propaganda technique is if you Google “China cpc” and look at the images.
Really undermines the whole narrative that Communism is an outdated and irrelevant ideology.
I remember good ol' times in Yugoslavia under Josip Broz Tito when workers lived like kings, no more and no less good than their fellow comrades in the Party. And the same can be seen throughout the countries that adopted communism at some point in their history. Common folk always had the lifestyle and privileges same as distinguished Party members. Even if you weren't member of the Party or were voicing your displeasure with Party's politics, you would live a long and prosperous life.
You people both insist that communism is "when everyone's paycheck is the same" and also "communism is when a rich elite rules over everyone else."
Which is it? You can never make up your minds. It's almost like you're just regurgitating ideas someone else stuffed into your head without thought.
Who needs critical thought when you have racism and xenophobia. You can get westerners to believe anything about foreigners and domestic minorities.
Yep. It provides an easy out, it means they never have to wonder if they are the bad guys, because the bad guys are all over there, in the bad guy country, easily identified by language and skin colour.
