  • There is an additional psychological mechanism at play here to be aware of, which is that some criminal actions taken by the government (in order to protect ruling class interests) would destroy the legitimacy of their claim to power if admitted to. The importance of controlling the narrative around so-called State Crimes Against Democracy therefore becomes existential.

    Marxists are more aware of this dynamic because they understand the nature of power structures. It’s also to be the same reason their theories are viciously attacked by the ruling class.

    Most Marxist-Leninists are skeptical of the Uyghur genocide narrative because the scant evidence we’re given comes from spurious sources like Adrian Zenz and an Australian weapons makers think tank called the ASPI. We’re also well-versed in the American empire’s history of hurling manufactured atrocity propaganda at its geopolitical rivals.

    Ignore the photographs of Xinjiang and Gaza. Just look at the maps to the left. They show that the only countries against China on the Uyghur issue are the exact same colonizing countries which are trying to subjugate the Global South on every other issue. We think this isn’t a coincidence.
