Talking of cults, how is Mao these days?

Oh, wait, the fat, dead dictator is lying embalmed in Beijing…

When it comes to the CPC nothing regarding inhumanity would surprise me. They are professionals when it comes to cruelty.

And you would stand by applauding while your government tried to exterminate them, wouldn’t you?

Such a good Maoist you are. Always destroying some enemy or another.

What an idiot. At least he didn’t provide 5 paragraphs of stupidity like last time he stopped by and graced us with his knowledge and analysis.

Ah e ol’ tu quoque “it happens in the West and MIGHT EVEN BE WORSE!” argument of the paid astroturfers.

Does anyone else get the impression that they’re just not trying any more? I mean, the arguments are all the same, the language is the same…. Have they run out of money for Trainng or something?

Mr. Tao deserves some sort of prize for acting like an adult on the Falun Gong topic. Two cheers for giving this persecuted, peaceful religious group some dignity.

Party officials may get rich of the labour system by utilizing slave labour, but thats corruption that would probably remain to some degree in any prison labour system. However, comparatively the Chinese labour system is no different from the US private jail systems. Actually despite US claims of heinous human right abuses I would describe the US system in some ways more corrupt, more discriminative and more extensive. Its just the crimes are different, in China its political crimes, while the US its economic crimes.

Generally speaking I think the Chinese government has a willingness to reform the re-education system. Although the majority of the time is discouraged by the way in which the West props up Chinese dissidents.

Nonetheless when you break it down the Chinese prison labour system is not much different to other prison systems, and corruption will be present as long as labour is used in the prison system.

Some number of party members and connected families are getting rich by utilizing slave labor, but everything would be great if AWW would just shut up!

But, of course you looove you some China. Common Chinese people, like these poor folk that live in bondage, not all that much. Amazing when a so-called patriot fails to speak up when his countrymen are being abused. Or maybe par for the course in China.
