America (like most “liberal democracies”) doesn’t have a democratic process to begin with, so your point is moot. Your reps control your entire country and can do basically whatever the fuck they want for 4 years (in the house/presidency), 6 years (in the senate) or life (for SCOTUS).

In theory, the power of recall or impeachment exists, but you’ve seen yourself how trying to impeach even someone as corrupt as Trump goes.

Even in cases where there is a semblance of direct democracy (such as state wide propositions), the capitalists own the entire media aparatus (on top of basically every other part of society and nature).

Yeah these guys are dreaming that China won’t invade Taiwan.

Since the PRC has literally not invaded Taiwan for longer than my grandparents were alive, yeah I’ll believe this.

If removing literal serfdom is not liberation then what the hell is “liberation”?

When all the exploiter monks gather their serfs together and ask them politely “do y’all want to be integrated with the PRC?”, and then they do a vote and if 90% of the population votes yes, then they set up enclaves to test PRC rule but like, it’s a free market of states where you can choose to get services from either the PRC or the feudal monks and basically over time the people will provide more money to the superior product and drive the feudal monks out of the government business?

Distance from the eastern most part of Russia to Moscow is 6300 km. It is literally on the other side of the planet, the longitude seperation is almost 200 degrees.

Do you know what that means? It is faster to go from Alaska through Canada, the Atlantic ocean, then through Europe to get to Moscow than it is to go by the eastern side of Russia.

Ok, it’s just an example.

1. The Taiwanese themselves do not unanimously want independence and there is a huge split of this position in taiwan, just like there is a split in America between Democrats and republicans.

2. “Enforced absorption”, there is no class analysis in this concept whatsoever. Which class benefits from reunification, and which class benefits from separation? It is the American imperialists and Taiwanese monopoly capitalists who benenfit from separation.

The US has literally militarily occupied the Philippines, Japan and South Korea. As for Vietnam, the reason they had historical beef with China was due to the sino-soviet split, but that beef has been largely resolved and the Vietnamese are not as anti-china as you think they are.
