Germany's AfD's far-right leader Alice Weidel held secret meetings with Chinese envoy, it has also emerged that she was on China’s payroll for several years

..China?

Just fucking wild to see what does and doesn't qualify as fascism in the Western brain.
You toss out the AfD and the CCP but forget to mention the Likkud, United Russia, the La Libertad Avanza, or the GOP.
It's even crazier to see liberals scream and cry about the Genocide in Ürümqi for over a decade, then insist any kind of student protest over the flattening of Gaza City or the brutal rape and murder of hospital chief Abu Safia is the result of Iranian produced pro-Trump propaganda.
But, to quote Dr Lubinda Haabazoka, Director of the University of Zambia Graduate School of Business and former President of the Economics Association of Zambia
Every time China visits we get a hospital, every time Britain visits we get a lecture.
How long until the Chancellor of Germany is repeating this verbatim?

They produce scandals each day to get attention. Same as Musk, Trump, etc.... At some point, the fans just don't care anymore.
-
What about China?
-
That, or distract, overwhelm.
When we have 10 appalling things every single day, we lack the energy to connect the dots between the lesser ones. Or care. It's both a flood and exposure therapy. -
Calling yourself communist while doing capitalism doesn't actually mean anything.
-
There's never actually been large scale communism. The step where the autocratic takeover ends just doesn't happen. So yeah, practiced communism is not just coming around to and touching fascism, they're almost congruent.
-
Not the US, but fascist billionaires.

Communism as Marx intended:
State-capitalism is as close to communism as laissez-faire capitalism.
-
Ahh the wonderful communist who support.... wait those are neo nazis and the others are just capitalists...
-
They are all owned by China or Russia. Even the ones you like

Much communist
Hope of socialism
Wow

In fact yes. Marx was quite insisting that communism would only come about after an extensive period of capitalism and that mostly rural countries like his contemporary Russia could not leap-frog to communism. Later he back-tracked a bit, but never fully. But it basically just shows that his idea of economic and material determinism is quite silly and many of his contemporary anarchists also told him so, which he got extremely angry about.

China is state-capitalist, my friend
-
No true politician would ever lie about what they represent
-
Ah, amyet another great politician, if you can't tell politicians are all money grubbing chuckleheads.. in my humble opinion
-
"All the enemies of the Constitution borrow the name and language of patriotism to spread error, discord and false principles... It is thus that public opinion is excited and becomes disorganized; the general will becomes powerless and invalid and patriotism... sometimes seconds, through blind impetuosity, the evil projects of the enemies of our freedom." -MR

I don't 'toss out' the AfD and the CCP. This article is about Germany and China, and I don't see why I woukd engage in whataboutery.

Is "firstpost.com" a reputable news source? I don't find trace of this in other outlets.
