Brian, you being the leading liberal here on Piggington, just a question I have had for while now:
there seem to be a consistent anti-Taiwan sentiment among most liberals in my readings throughout the years. Maybe this is based on the fact that the right leaning KMT escaped there, where as China represented the proletarian revolutionary class.
However, things are very different now. China is all about capitalism and right winged nationalism, whereas Taiwan is a genuine democracy that is the most progressive in all of Asia. It has every liberals in this country would absolutely die for: Universal health coverage, gun control, upcoming in a couple of weeks legalized gay marriage, and within just a few more years abolishment of the death penalty.
yet there is still zero love for Taiwan by the left.
