Fuck these fascists
Fuck these fascists
Not far from where I live there's China embassy. 24 hours a day 7 days a week next to the embassy there's a guy sitting, just outside during summer and inside a tent during winter, and there's table with leaflets nearby. That guy constantly reminds all the people visiting China embassy about persecution of Falun Gong (which I did not know about until I encountered him).
That guy is helping. You, cursing people who are not here in the place where everybody agrees with you, are not.
Regardless of whether this is true or not, I fail to see how it in any way justifies the level of persecution (extrajudicial imprisonment, torture, killing, organ harvesting etc.) endured by the group:
Is that fact? Not that I really care: I would protects church of Scientology if they were persecuted same way as Falun Gong. Just curious.

How so?
Pretty much, among other things they advocate that 'race mixing' is the result of aliens trying to exterminate humanity[1], they're pretty much out of their minds and also super homophobic.
>How so?
If you came to my country and tried to promote a cult I doubt you're going to convince people of what you're trying to convince them off, in fact it would probably make them less receptive to your notion of freedom and more enthusiastic about the crackdown on minorities with distinct cultures

These values seem to be incompatible with the aims and actions of the Chinese (system of) government.
Which specific measures could (a community of) governments take to incentivize or enforce the rights declared in this document?
Unless you believe the recent edits on wikipedia.
I can't say for sure, whether China is fascist, as I don't know whether they are ultranationalist.
However, they definitely are authoritarian and are suppressing and murdering minorities or political opponents.
I'm not so certain, however, that the previous failures can be directly attributed to central planning? It seems officials were too afraid to come forward about issues regarding food production, due to repercussions of admitting failure. But this might not be inherent to central planning: the authoritarian nature of the state, punishments for admitting failure and perverse incentives causing officials to report success likely were more direct precursors of this outcome.
I would love to hear other opinions on this.
