They believed that Yi Laoyi had "insulted" the national revolutionary movement and described Lixingshe as a fascist organization as an "unwarranted fallacy" [2] .

Lin Yutang also defended the Nationalist government. He believed that the government's censorship of foreign journalists in Chongqing was no more serious than the censorship of foreign journalists by the U.S. government. Because we are in the middle of a war, and for fear that such reports criticizing the United States will be intercepted by enemy countries and used for propaganda purposes, some things cannot be helped. Lin Yutang also pointed out that the Nationalist government was paternalistic, not fascist. The Nationalist Government was eager to guide the people's thoughts and actions, but it did not strictly control thoughts, nor did it impose a rule of force or terror. The reaction of the people under a paternalistic regime is anger or a knowing smile; while the reaction of the people under a totalitarian rule is a whisper, secret fear, frightened submission, and the whole nation sings praises of the government. Patriarchal regimes can be saved, but totalitarian regimes are incurable. If you want to see real totalitarianism, you must go to Yan'an. Lin Yutang said that if there had not been a strong national government during the War of Resistance, but a more democratic and loose government like France, China's combat capabilities might have collapsed due to domestic divisions.

Roughly translates to [[File:Welf.png]] [[Welfarism|"Doctrine of Livelihood"]], or [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism]] more broadly. While Sun Yat-sen stated in a 1924 speech that "’Mínshēng’ is [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism]]." and even at times calls his proposed policies [[File:Commie.png]] Communist, he was opposed to the [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism|Marxist]] definitions of "class struggle" and "surplus value" as well as [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|Russian style communism]], saying "The Soviet system in Russia is not pure communism but Marxism — and Marxism is not communism; the real communism comes from Proudhon and Bakunin." Despite this, he still chose Lenin's style of party structure for the Kuomintang.
