What would you call the position that defends authoritarian communism even to the point of justifying genocide and brutal suppression of opposition and free press?
What the fuck does that question have to do with anything? The US could have a personal hatred for every individual Uyghur Muslim in the world and China would still be in the midst of trying to genocide them.
I'm an American and I care, so at least partially yes, America does care. And because we have a democracy, the government (at least imperfectly) reflects the priorities of the people.
But I also agree with the other poster that doesn't really have anything to do with anything we were taking about
The only thing our government reflects is the priorities of capital..
