SHAME-FREE thread: ask the dumbest question you have about the Hong Kong protests. I'll try to answer it or loop in a real Hong Konger to answer it for you. No question too ignorant or basic.

VERY embarrassing dumb question: do people still pretend Chinese fascism is “left” a la Marxism, or is it widely accepted that the Chinese government is hard right?

I think the only people who believe in the ideological content of Chinese communism are American tankies (ultra-leftists). An interesting historical note is that Hong Kong had real leftist riots in 1966-67 in support of the PRC. But the axis now is authoritarianism vs. freedom

We resist ALL oppressors, “Left” or “Right”, “Capitalist” or “Communist”
