      I understand your desire to defend communism.

      But really, how far does an authoritarian regime have to go, while calling itself communist, before you judge them?

      What evidence would change your mind about the CCP?

        Where did I defend the CCP or communism?

        (I do fully support communism and have critical support for China, but that’s not the question here)

        What evidence would change your mind about […]

        Show me evidence that the Uyghur are being persecuted

          Thank you for answering.

          I am not sure where to start, but let’s take the easy way: At the moment of writing, the wikipedia page “Persecution of Uyghurs in China” has 585 references.

          They’re probably all written by seemingly independent institutions, journalists and scientists who somehow have a McCarthyist-like fear of communism that they’d risk their credibility just to add a bit of damage to communist China’s moral standing?

          Or are they all factually incorrect through some other mechanism?
