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.

Every time it’s brought up I just think of the big butt sheep video and like “yes, this is definitely a people undergoing genocide. No doubt about it.”/s
The whole thing is particularly absurd in face of what we’re seeing in Gaza.
