As if the floodgates to massive fraud are currently closed

How many times now have western economists predicted some major collapse in China? It’s getting silly at this point

We’re taught to ignore/fear the homeless. It’s not unlike the old Indian Caste System in that way. We look down upon them as if they are homeless because they’re addicted to drugs or because they’re lazy.

I’m an American and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard the phrase “Don’t give money to the homeless, they’ll just use it to buy drugs”

My fear of death is mostly because I’m scared of leaving my wife and child in a desolate world where I can’t be there to support them, but at the same time, they are my biggest motivation for changing this world.

I don’t think you’re a coward, comrade. This is a very natural fear that we all carry with us at some point in our lives.

What helped me accept death is asking the question: “Would I really want to live forever?” Imagine immortality really. Watching everyone you know and care about die while you remain. Sounds like an awful existence to me.

Communism can only exist globally in a world without scarcity. So while I wholeheartedly accept socialism in one country, I think we have to acknowledge that China isn’t going to reach communism alone.

I do however think that Marxism is nothing if not constantly adapting or “reforming” to changing material conditions. So if the dictatorship of the proletariat remains, I think this is the only path towards developing socialism

Gaddafi pulled Libya out of debt and had a plan to help all of Africa do the same. But the Imperial Core made sure that couldn’t happen.

I’m right there with you on Das Kapital. It’s basically an economics textbook and economic analysis on that level is really tough for me. I am resigned to the fact that it’s going to take awhile

Touché comrade!

To be fair, we have a “union” but our union president is compromised completely

Very helpful! Thank you

Anybody have some good Dengist literature? Or some good analyses of China post-Mao in general? It’s tough out here in the west trying to sift through all the China smears and I really want to gain a better understanding of more modern Chinese history.

Thank you!

This story in particular hits home so hard because I was very much plugged into the alt-right as a teenager and I grew up in such a conservative area that it wasn’t seen as such a big deal at the time.

It became obvious pretty quickly that the jokes were a cover for actual racism and hatred. Then I began the very long journey towards being a Marxist-Leninist. I can’t help but look back and shudder at what I could’ve been if I stayed in that horrible pipeline.
