Even on a moral standpoint. All violence is acceptable so long as it’s “not intentional”.

Engels commented on this in 1845

pagan wheel

It's not even pagan. if you're talking about the Sonnerad, it was put on the floor of the castle Wewelsburg by the SS, after Himmler of the SS acquired it. The symbol originates with the nazis and is not "pagan" in origin, and even the sig runes are from the Armanen Futharkh, which were invented by an Austrian mysticist in.... 1902. The pagan aspect of the nazi symbolism was always a LARP.

when the american bourgeoisie say "political violence" they of course mean violence directed at the bourgeoisie. What about violence directed at the working class, the marginalized, the homeless? These forms of violence are "apolitical" in their opinion. The system is on autopilot and functioning as intended. Politics is only political when it ceases to do what they want. the-deserter

Naturally despite being an actual anti-semite (as opposed to the supporters of Palestinian liberation who are merely slandered as "anti-semitic") he of course was the biggest Israel bootlicker, to the point of criticizing Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer for not being zionist enough.

Wikipedia couldn't possibly be any more imperialist slop if it tried, and they're still getting shit on

goes to show you that the centrist instinct to "be moderate" and "be balanced' and "show both sides" won't save you when reichwingers crash out

They do limited mutual aid and charity work with their actual rank and file members while the streamer grifter leadership do shit like this and this and this and doxx/attack their critics just like their LaRouchite forefathers

look at that third video of Jackson Hinkle saying women shouldn't vote unless it is under the authority of a man and tell me that's Communist.

Patriotism is a tool Communists can use to bring the backwards masses forward.

Mao Zedong was speaking from a colonized country where nationalism and patriotism took the form of a national liberation struggle against colonial forces like the Japanese, British, French, etc.. In the United States, nationalism and patriotism (footnote) is of the same chauvinist settler-colonial variety that we see in Israel, but on a larger scale.

footnote: not grouping this with the internal national liberation struggles of American BIPOC which is separate from US nationalism

You don't have to like the ACP, but it's undialectical to ignore what they actually do

What they actually do is reheat LaRouchite fascism in the microwave and try to sell it to a new generation.

To this I say, no. As a community, we do not deny proven genocides, like the holocaust, or the genocide against indigenous Americans by various European colonizers, or the genocide against the Congolese by Belgium, or the Bengal famine that was carried out by the British empire. In fact, denying those genocides will get you banned, here. However: we are also aware of a tendency of nations to project their crimes onto others, and to manufacture atrocity propaganda to justify overthrowing or destroying rival governments... like Libya in 2011:

From Washington Bullets by Vijay Prashad (a great book I highly recommend)

A post from Michael Parenti regarding the destruction of Libya by NATO-backed reactionaries

A headline shortly after Libya's destruction by NATO-backed reactionaries

The US government has been reenacting the fable of the Boy Who Cried Wolf, and has been cynically leveraging the very serious accusation of genocide against its geopolitical enemies. This is the source of skepticism on Xinjiang. And this is not a new strategy, yes, the Holodomor, which everyone in the US has been taught to take seriously lately, is a nazi fabrication first spread to the United States in the works of Robert Conquest. Why would the USSR deliberately starve a fellow socialist Republic? Why would Stalin, a Georgian, have some kind of Russian chauvinist grudge against Ukrainians? Why would Lenin (Donbass), Stalin (Lviv), and Khruschev (Crimea) all expand the territory of the Ukrainian SSR while also trying to kill off the people inside of it? Why would the USSR ethnically cleanse Ukrainains while simultaneously sending food aid to the starving British colony in Bengal? Natural famines and crop failures were spun by the nazis into atrocity propaganda. Also, a state does not have to be perfect to be defended against false accuations. I think China is far from perfect, but the burden of proof is on the United States to prove its accusations (which have changed in scope several times) regarding Xinjiang. Delegations from Muslim majority nations visiting Xinjiang do not agree with the United States that there is a genocide of the Uyghur people. There is however an attempt to reeducate extremist groups like ETIM. Reeducating extremists might seem a harsh government policy, but I assure you it is a better way of dealing with religious fundamentalism than drone striking weddings or air striking hospitals like the USA did in Afghanistan.
