Blog Post #5 What human rights abuses exist in Tibet?

Tibet is exploited by China in a way that resembles a pacifist version of what Russia has done in the past to its own surrounding nations. In that sense China could have done a lot worse but that's not really a notable accomplishment. Cultural opression like this is devastating, but it is especially disheartening to see such a humanistic idealism being persecuted for comparatively trivial economic and political reasons. I may be impractical but I just cannot see the value in opressing other nations for their disinterest in an ideology. I believe that a realist path to Communism cannot be made with any force other than reason, otherwise it faces all the past injustices and consequences of Socialism. Also I'm tremendously retarded.
