    What are you even saying? Preventing independent journalism is oppressive towards the working class now? Censoring the media is oppressive towards the working class?

      Letting private press say whatever they want in a country where capitalists would love to take over the state would be suicide. Capitalists have a muzzle placed on them. Legitimate criticism from the working classes is not censored, while misinformation and pro-capitalist speech is.

          Capitalists and fascists should be censored. As for queer rights, they are improving over time, and the CPC does not actively oppose them, the most anti-LGBTQIA+ measures are taken by regional governments, not the central government. Many areas are more open and progressive.

              Great example. It’s still not great, of course, and rural areas tend to be more socially conservative, but the positive forward movement does exist and is gradually improving over time. It’s mostly the older generations that are more socially conservative, younger generations for example are more progressive socially too.
