Anarchism

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

  1. Be respectful
  2. Don't be a nazi
  3. Argue about the point and not the person
  4. This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

I haven’t read a lot of these sources myself yet, but the first one at least by the Communist Party of India is worth a read.

Here are some interesting facts related to this topic:

  • These claims are promoted mainly by the US government and US media
  • The USA has invaded many Muslim countries over the last decades, killing millions of innocent civilians
  • Most Muslim countries support China's Uighur policies, western nations oppose them
  • According to Biden, USA is in "extreme competition" with China
  • Xinjiang is a vital part of China's "Belt and Road" infrastructure project, because it provides the shortest path to Europe

Edit: One more thing, here is a list of terrorist attacks in Xinjiang. Note how there were no more major attacks after the vocational training program was established.

You forgot to cite the most important reason, being that southern Xinjiang area Tarim Basin has as much oil as whole of Saudi Arabia and supplies 30% of China's oil needs. Destabilising and separating Xinjiang from China will result in an inevitable collapse of the country's economy. China is on its way to overtake USA as world leader.

USA already has hold of Saudi Arabia and sanctions and forcibly controls Iran. By taking control of Tarim Basin, USA will dictate matters over most of the world's oil.

If they had to care about Muslims, they would not genocide millions of them in Gitmo or Middle East or South East Asia over the past half century.
