My partner is Lebanese and one issue that has consistently come up with any discussion of Marxism (and honestly the online left as a whole) is Uyghur genocide denial. Essentially, they see it as proof of (white) western leftists being hypocrites and having a glaring Islamophobia problem. I’m inclined to defer to them, but at the same time, I’ve found myself often politically aligning with MLs on other issues, and I know very little about Chinese internal politics or the Uyghurs myself, so I would greatly appreciate being able to get an understanding of what the ML perspective is.
how come there is not a single shred of evidence of a genocide in a region of >25million population and of enormous area. stuff like this just cannot be hidden or swept away.
We already see that genocide cant be hidden away, because its damn obvious that the west and israhelli imperial outpost would have done so already.
yeah that’s my point, if there is no conclusive evidence for a genocide in a place of this magnitude, it’s just completely bullshit.
