Workers of the world UNITE! :lol:

Good for them, just goes to show how workers can unite and fight for altruistic reasons. I'm happy every time I see things like this, workers resisting authority.

Good. China should not be making a profit off of warfare with its capitalist mode of production.

same/similar things happened many times in the Spanish Civil war,
really shows that humans arent all bastards eh?

[Patchd]

Yeh, I don't really see a problem with this at all. You have to understand that not all of us, I would probably even say not most of us here, actually politically support the Chinese state as it is, whether we would militarily side with it is a different matter.

Are you sure you aren't confusing these arms with the one's China's supplying to Sudan's janjaweed [my sic]? :confused:

This is good to know. Mugabe, the capitalist hack, would love to use these weapons on the workers, small farmers, and urban poor of Zimbabwe.

China, as a capitalist country, obviously wants to invest in and get resources from Zimbabwe. They are in conflict with the US and the EU - China backs Mugabe, the West back the MDC.
