Who are your comrades? The government of China, CCP? Or am I misunderstanding?
You are misunderstanding, as I clarified in another reply to you. I'd like to take this moment, then, to point out another thing I noticed. You talk like a liberal. That's something I notice in anarchist online spaces and only in anarchist online spaces.
What I mean by that is that "CCP" is not a real thing. The party is the Communist Party of China, or CPC, and this is how they self-identify. The fact that you think of them as the CCP reveals that you only hear of them from western liberal media or, worse, from western liberal/fascist randoms who you hear talking about them. And that's what I mean when I say that you consider people "fascists" for not believing everything CNN or the BBC says. You (not necessarily you specifically, I don't know you, but some radlibs calling themselves anarchists on this site and other online anarchist spaces) identify people as fascist for supporting a group of people you don't even know how to speak about without proving your ignorance.

I don't think of them as an acronym, I think of them as the Chinese Communist Party, which seemed pretty neutral and unloaded by being plainly descriptive. Any inference of malice or ignorance i think is misplaced, I read their own press releases in translated mandarin, read news articles from Chinese sources and include state-run media in my information diet about this government.
this is really just symbolic posturing, and i think it is less substantive than the rest of what you and others have to say about this issue.
