Kamala’s running mate, Tim Walz, gave thumbs up to Chinese communism as a teacher

[johnwk]

That is what I figured.

An impression.

So, since Walz is running to be Vice President of the United States, does he not have a duty to explain and clarify to the public why he once made the comments he did, and if he has changed his previous views, and if he condemns China’s system which the CCP openly and proudly asserts the tenets of “Marxism-Leninism” are “. . . correct and have tremendous vitality”?

In every oppressive country like communist China, socialist Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, etc., where the people are disarmed, they suffer the loss of inalienable rights under an iron fisted government which lives large off the people’s labor. Forewarned is forearmed.

 

[daveman]

Possibly Walz understood the historical economic context China was dealing with when he was teaching there?

Britain’s century long Opium trafficking and China’s ‘Century of Humiliation’ (1839-1949) | MR Online

"In the early 1700s, China produced 35% of the world GDP.

"Until 1800 half the books in the world were printed in Chinese.

"The country considered itself self-sufficient, not seeking any products from other countries.

"Foreign countries bought Chinese tea, silk, and porcelain, having to pay in gold and silver.

"Consequently, the balance of trade was unfavorable to the British for almost two centuries, like the situation the U.S. and Europe face with China today.

"This trade slowly depleted Western reserves.

"Eventually, 30,865 tons of silver flowed into China, mostly from Britain.

"Britain turned to state sponsored drug smuggling as a solution, and by 1826 the smuggling from India had reversed the flow of silver.

"Thus began one of the longest and continuous international crimes of modern times, second to the African slave trade, under the supervision of the British crown."

And, naturally, Comrade George is sucking Commie Chinese ass, too.

China's rise doesn't depend on US consumers anymore than Tim Walz depends on Trump for election advice. Wake up. Trump's a mindless fascist whose only interest is making money from public service.

Opinion | Why Harris-Walz is still the better pick for US-China engagement

"Republicans, led by Donald Trump, a convicted felon who clocked up a reported 30,573 false or misleading statements during his presidency, have swallowed the orange Kool-Aid and are painting a weird and false portrait of Walz. Typical drivel includes the post on X by Trump acolyte and potential secretary of state Richard Grenell: 'Communist China is very happy with @GovTimWalz as Kamala’s VP pick. No one is more pro-China than Marxist Walz.'"

Oh, sure, he's a great pick for China. He'll do whatever they tell him to.

 

[daveman]

Since Walz is running to be VP, and he has made favorable comments about China's system where there is no "free speech", does he not have a duty to explain to the public why he once made such favorable comments, and if he has changed his previous views, and explain if he now condemns China's system which the CCP openly and proudly accepts that the tenets of “Marxism-Leninism” are asserted to be “. . . correct and have tremendous vitality”?

Who the hell in the media is going to ask him?

Lying about political candidates is itself a form of oppression.

You are not oppressed, Slappy.

No. He doesn't have a duty to address every conspiracy theory, out of context statement or accusation aimed at him from the right.

Who could possibly have the time?

This all boils down to he taught in China. The right wing conspiracy machine is filling in the blanks form you.

You are not oppressed, Slappy.

Didn't say I was.

Why are you lying?

Tim Walz’s has celebrated Chinese communism where “. . . everyone is the same and everyone shares." “The doctor and the construction worker make the same. The Chinese government and the place they work for provide housing and 14 kg or about 30 pounds of rice per month. They get food and housing."

Walz stated the above to his students during a lesson on China’s communist system in November 1991. LINK


To the contrary, here in the United States, our system is designed to protect the inalienable right of our citizens to pursue their own happiness, and for each to succeed or fail by their own doing and choices. The magic of the great wealth produced under America’s system, as opposed to that of China and other socialist/communist systems, is found upon a self-evident principle which rewards the industrious, protecting and allowing each to enjoy the fruits of their own labor. While under China’s communism, and other such oppressive systems, the ambitious are stifled where “. . . everyone is the same and everyone shares", except for China’s rules who live large off the backs of those who are governed.

And that appears to be the attraction to communism by those, like Walz, who embrace China’s system. They get to live large off the backs of those who produce wealth, while distributing, with an iron fist, the wealth which labor has produced.

“The property which every man has in his own labor, as it is the original foundation of all other property, so it is the most sacred and inviolable. The patrimony of the poor man lies in the strength and dexterity of his own hands; and to hinder him from employing this strength and dexterity in what manner he thinks proper, without injury to his neighbor, is a plain violation of this most sacred property.” ___ Butchers’ Union Co. v. Crescent City Co., 111 U.S. 746 (1884)

I'm quite sure you have no idea what Walz is talking about. He went to China in 1989. China was a completely different place in 1989. Its GDP was $408 per person compared to $12,000 today. It was a poor place where people were living a subsistence life for the most part.

However what he wrote, in the context he wrote it, doesn't look like he's saying it's great either. He doesn't say "Wow, everyone earns the same, it's great"... he's merely writing facts. Literally starts with "He told his student...."

You wrote (or copied) "He celebrated Communism..." No, he didn't. Nobody reading that would see any celebration.

But then most of US politics is about people lying out of their asses.

Yawn.

Non sequitur. The trolling ensues.

Here you have it folks.

Just saying what you said. If you don't have the courage to stand by what you say, you shouldn't say it. Because acting all smug and sanctimonious may make your fragile ego feel better, but it doesn't accomplish anything.

What's your problem?

Sounds like he is teaching the facts of communism.

Was their a specific word or phrase that gives you the impression he is pro communism?

These types of non arguments make Republicans look desperate and weak. Give me something with meat in it.

“Or, Mike, take the firearms first and then go to court, because that’s another system. Because a lot of times, by the time you go to court, it takes so long to go to court, to get the due process procedures. I like taking the guns early. Like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida, he had a lot of firearms – they saw everything – to go to court would have taken a long time, so you could do exactly what you’re saying, but take the guns first, go through due process second.” ~DJT.

Why should he bother dancing to your tune? You're never going to NOT vote for Harris/Walz. It's guaranteed.

He needs to clarify because right wingers are making things up about what he wrote?

Hardly seems fair, does it? And when he clarifies then what? They'll make more stuff up, and then demand more clarifications.
