Yeah he's a shit just like all the rest. The difference is that he's also a narcissist, so he is making more people aware of what people like him are really like.

Just because a country is communist doesn't mean they will automatically be better for the environment. However a communist country is better equipped and more willing to take actions to solve these real problems.

They aren't concentration camps. The area had an issue with terrorist attacks, so the Chinese government being marxist leninists used materialist analysis to determine that poverty caused people to turn to violent ideologies, so they worked extra hard to give the people in the area an education, these centers they went to were essentially just schools, not concentration camps. In addition to this they worked on improving the infrastructure in the area.

Also something most people don't know is that these extremist groups were recruiting people on Facebook and the CPC asked facebook to do something about it and they refused, so then China banned Facebook from the country.

I always thought class was the primary contradiction and all the identity stuff were separate issues, as in once there is a revolution there can still be issues faces by certain types of people. Like just because a country is now socialist doesn't make literally all problems and contradictions go away. For example western liberal democracies have better rights for lgbtq people compared to China, or the mentality that having a baby boy is better than having a baby girl. This type of thinking is very common in certain parts of China to this day, even after the revolution.

Also the fact that so many proletariats are being pushed to the right can be a reflection of the failure of the left to reach out to the working class, so I agree with your point of not talking down to people with reactionary views. The left is so quick to call people with reactionary views literal Nazis as a strawman so they can absolve themselves of trying to remove those views.
