Any ideology that bans books is self-evidently intellectually and philosophically bankrupt.

I wouldn't consider it an ideological thing, but more of a strategic decision by Xi et al.

But why ban Hilary Clinton's book? What sort of crazed ideology would be there that could be a threat to the current government?

[–] itsoctober@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

neoliberalism and "liberal internationalism", also known as austerity, IMF debt, coups d'etat, getting bombed by NATO and signing Status of Forces Agreements

So why is the ideology so dangerous that it is banned?

Ask Libyans in specific case of Clinton and everyone in global south about neoliberalism in general. It should be treated exactly like nazism in Nuremburg.
