The simplest answer is probably that the CCP has its own doctrine and ideals, so westerners larping as communists online may be espousing ideals that don’t align with the party’s official doctrine. Why let western trolls muddy the waters when you already have efficient distribution of the exact political discourses you desire?
They had a problem a few years ago with student Marxist societies using their own readings of Marx to critique the Party’s leadership, which they of course came down on like a tonne of bricks. The CCP is about Marxism the way the Catholic Church is about the Bible: there’s only one valid interpretation, and it’s whatever the institution says it is at the time.
My chinese colleague said the state translations of Marx’s writings read like poetry haha
🤔 Not sure this means anything, but
Yeah, this was a nice fnord when it was first discovered.
But given that the other two are not blocked it is probably for some mundane reason like that early on lemmy.ml was targeted with a lot of nazi spam.

Same user with the .ml bashing post. And it is not even true.
