Okay I may have worded that wrong but that is also misleading. China is a huge power (I say this is a problem as you may recall). Having diplomatic ties with China is necessary for most nations. China refuses to have diplomatic ties with anyone who recognizes Taiwan as a sovereign nation. So, everybody pretends they don't recognize it, officially. In reality Taiwan has its own government and isn't ruled over by China. In 1991, Taiwan/ROC even recognized the DPRC.

Sorry haha got a little carried away with the sarcasm. This narrative is used by the US a lot, for example Black Lives Matter protests

It doesn't elude me that the West tries to paint China worse than it is. Although I have learned a thing or two today.

Again you construe publicly owned and government-owned

That sounds like we're quite aligned with our methodology actually. So why are you so standoffish?

This debate went way off the rails, but maybe tell me about how you think things should go. For example what would be a way for the US to transition to communism.

many anarchists are indistinguishable from centrists when it comes to actual geopolitical issues

simply gotta disagree. anarchists reject empire and authority. Centrists often support imperialism so long as it is favoring their own country. Anarchists typically oppose the imperialism of their own countries more than anything else.

I'm really trying to engage with people here and I've conceded multiple good points. I've learned some things and I'm seeing new perspectives.

Also why do you care so much about finding a way to call me a liberal it's obsessive :P

Can you explain how Whole Process People’s Democracy is “top-down?”

Can you explain to me how it's not?

Further, can you explain why it’s a good thing for Capitalists to control the press, and not the public?

No, because it's not. Nice strawman. Is this public you speak of the government?
