I don't use the term #leftunity because there's a lot of discourse around it, but I do believe that on the ground, in the streets, and on many particular issues, #communist and #anarchist people can work together (and must). I think that better terms might be #unitedfront or #leftalliance, as unity as a term papers over meaningful differences in the two political ideologies.
I think that #anarchists as a whole, could stand to be more critically supportive of past and current socialist experiments around the world, while #communists (#marxistleninists and #maoists) should accept that there is sound anarchist theory that might not be reflected in many self-identified anarchists. After all, how many Leninists can honestly claim to have done their own reading?
“(Canada MP) Han Dong has been accused of lobbying a Chinese diplomat to keep two Canadians imprisoned in Beijing.“
“On Wednesday, Mr Dong said that he will leave Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's governing Liberal Party to sit as an independent.“
Right. As an independent...
@radeksikorski : “Do you really want us to wonder every time we consider buying a Chinese product whether it will finance Putin's war?“
Maybe we should also ask #Tibetans, #Uighurs, #Hongkongers and the over a billion voiceless #Chinese subjects of the never-elected #CCP #dictatorship about the issue of funding and trading with the #PRC regime?
And how about all the autocrats and despots across the world funded and supported by the CCP in its #UnitedFront campaign to fight and crush it's greatest existential threat #democracy globally?
@radeksikorski : “it would again divide the world into warring blocs“
Maybe it's time to stop aiding and abetting *all* dictatorships and concentrate on supporting the actual values the #UnitedNations was founded to protect and nurture?

Curious.
A "human rights org" demanding rights and freedoms for... tech businesses of the chinese #CCP party-state #dictatorship.
A "human rights org" promoting countless issues around the world, *except nothing* touching #humanrights crimes by #chinese dictatorship, or indeed its autocratic vassals...
The only cuddly references to CCP regime in this feed were about "mutually beneficial #BRI win-wins, of course pandas, and then this:
"#China proposes a #peace plan for the conflict in Europe, showing willingness to resolve conflict & #diplomacy's determination to stop war & prevent suffering. Through collaborative efforts and mutual respect, conflicts can be resolved, and a better world can be built."
Not to be confused with *Human Rights Foundation* (HRF)...
Anyhow, somehow I feel the "IHRF" have their funding strategy securely perfected.

"Tesla CEO Elon Musk praised the Chinese government, calling it 'sensitive' to public opinion. 'It seems ironic, but even though you have sort of a single-party system, they [China's government] really actually seem to care a lot about the well-being of the people. In fact, they’re maybe even more sensitive to public opinion than what I see in the US.' "
To understand more about why the PRC government's foreign interference operations target local governments and indigenous authorities, see my 2022 paper: 'Encircling the city from the countryside: a template of CCP united front work at subnational level'.

NZ Herald now warning Ardern she needs to be craven when meeting Xi Jinping and not follow Trudeau's example in speaking up on concerns about China's aggressive behaviour. Oh so predictable from the business paper.
