Having been accused of being a communist here is a definition of communism
Characteristics of Communist System1. Abolition of Private Property.
Yet I own properties around the world
2. Collective Ownership of Means of Production.
I am a sleeping partner of a company based in London with offices worldwide, we have shareholders and no collective ownership.
3. Central Planning.
All distribution is done from one dept, all purchases are done by another dept.
4. Elimination of Unfair Gaps in Incomes.
I together with the board of directors try to maintain equality of wages, we are an equal opportunity employer.
Provision of Necessaries of Life.
Not relevant as we only give remuneration to our employees.
So therefore by any definition of communism, I am not a communist.
The premise that someone who lives and worked in China would therefore become indoctrinated in the political arena, fails on many counts.
Firstly, one would need to spend time with those doing the indoctrination, which I never did, in fact, I spent a lot of time working with senior government officials, military and medical staff most of whom show little time for politics or showed a strong dislike for the CCP.
Secondly, to be manipulated one would need to have a mind easily swayed as can be regularly seen here on CS, I have a strong personality not easily swayed or persuaded as my past has taught me to do due diligence and research.
I am politely requesting that the CS member (Bohemund) refrains from continually referring to me as "Comrade" and desist from continuously attempting to belittle me by the constant pejorative comments insinuating I am controlled by the CCP.
I am clearly NOT and have said so many times, I have also posted many disparaging comments regarding the CCP.
Let me state once and for all, I DO NOT AND NEVER HAVE SUPPORTED THE CCP.
Thank you for your compliance.

It's just an excuse to label someone a lefty if they don't comply to the posters own ideology.
It is annoying to be continually labeled but always remember the wise saying that 'you can never win an argument against a fool'.
But thankyou for reminding me to ask Riz to add useful idiot, snowflake, woke, keyboard warrior, flake, fake, psuedo-psycholgist...
Never did that to win an argument. , jac… it is sad you believe that. But, i do know hate when I see hate, regardless of who is hating and their target. A hater is a hater irregardless of origin and ethnicity. I admit that I have been guilty of hate. Growing up I hated eating most cooked vegetables. Yuck
The label it communist or fascist only makes clear which side one is on and ignores the tactic itself.
