Contribution to Lain (%17)'s (disc: 17ain | tiktok: woozytime) Taiwan is Chinese [PRC] with the addition of sources, corrections, and further notes.
The government of Taiwan, entranced in some rapacious delusion of money, of capitalist grandeur, further distances itself from the masses who, now in the highest percentage yet, oppose independence.[1] Some foreign individuals (even those supposed leftists) under a bourgeois illusion, pompously declare such things as Taiwanese “independence”, Taiwanese “freedom”, even Taiwanese “democracy”, throwing around confidently this bourgeois argot which contradicts the masses of Taiwan—as typical of these turgid know-it-all foreigners—, but has been flung to ad nauseam on so many occasions previous to tear apart socialism; one can only presume these individuals in the same mindset would have declared the “independence” and “freedom” of some Eastern European nations from the USSR—the “release from the Soviet yolk” to quote Parenti in Blackshirts and Reds. However, when these foreign fantasies shift from such to reality, when Taiwan does declare this “independence”, this “emancipation from its captor”, and inevitably faces the fate of Estonia’s post-socialist transformation for example, a nightmarish proletarian plight in contradiction of the masses’ want for what they had, these same foreigners who once hastily lifted fists for this “independence” now slam them down viciously with the most scathing criticism of their society.
