Just off the top of my head she could have called bullshit on his framing and segued into talking about socialism: what it is, what it’s goals are, how it is relevant to the vast majority of the American working class, what a socialist methodology in building a new world would imply, etc. But she’d have to have those hidden power levels to begin with, which she doesn’t. What you see is very often what you get with these things.

So if no one is preventing anyone from drawing caricatures why was showing a caricature in a class explicitly dealing with religious indoctrination punished? By death, no less.

First of all leftists being critical of China on leftist forums is completely irrelevant to imperialist policy towards China. Secondly you can be critical of the path China is pursuing without advocating for regime change, just like you can be critical of religious fundamentalism in Iran without advocating for any action on the part of the American MIC and their allies. Otherwise it’s too close for comfort to the “shut up and vote for the lesser evil” rhetoric that stifles any analysis and debate.
