But the US is when they do the same?

<:thronking:321284126332420097>

sure they are

"buffer state = not imperialist"

nice 180

the argument you stumbled into half way through was in regards to whether military intervention resulting in widespread human death is unique to communism or capitalism

no it wasn't

How is that a 180? China and the US both have motives for expansionism

I argued interventionism is a thing in any system, not just capitalism

you just said that china preserving north korea for no reason other than to act as a buffer wasn't imperialist

and then you just said that china is imperialist for doing that very thing

what the fuck is wrong with you

erm

"buffer state = not imperialist"
was sarcastic

as in

we do it so we can have a joke state

<:ryuko:279305409875935232>

not a buffer state

"US buffer state = not imperialist"
"Chinese communist allied state = imperialist"

I wonder, where did I say this?

Oh wait I didn't

Weak attempt at a strawman my dude

I never argued anything but a rough equivocation of the two, I defend neither the US nor China

the argument starting with "I gave it as food for thought versus the "Communist Death Toll" meme"

no one argues the communist death toll in interventions by socialist states.

just in the way they put people in concentration camps

but you aggressively contend the capitalist death toll

proudly declaring your intention to not read the sources posted

because it's a stupid thing to attribute to an economic system

"because it's a stupid thing to attribute to an economic system"
"no one argues the communist death toll in interventions by socialist states"
What is this I don't even

The communist death toll would be even higher with these interventions counted to it
