The UN report (the one led by Bachelet) is the best tool I’ve found in arguing with libs who are this far down the hole. Because it’s authored by the UN and there’s some liberal “tut-tutting” against China in it (i.e. they say China uses some questionable re-radicalization tactics). It essentially debunks all the claims about slavery, genocide, forced sterilization, etc.

I even have a hot take that one can only be a “communist” if they are a member of an org

I 1,000% agree, and Marx himself said as much.

Does your wife know you’re a communist? No judgement, I only ask because my wife knows I’m vaguely leftist because that’s what I was when we first met (I was a socdem), we never talk politics beyond single issues in the news sometimes because she’s very apolitical, and I’ve only considered myself a commie the last year and a half or so. But I’ve never brought it up to her or anything, and it’s starting to feel weird to me.
