visiting here i see a society building as quick as possible but still bursting at the seams with potential
speaking to my chinese colleagues they have much more hope for the future and i have told them i am envious of this.
we are missing a future that’s been taken from us

So dont let it get taken. Americans will moan all day about the state of things but refuse to stop going into work. If you’re having your future taken from you why are you worried about what’s at stake now enough to keep your head down?
yeah i love getting kicked out of my shelter and having no food to eat
the best possible outcome for the demon pedo nation is for it to perish under the weight of its own contradictions
Nothing is to be done.

Yes, continue to march into the future in which you will have none anyway.
Without a mass movement, you’re describing suicide.
China is the only superpower that’s making a concerted effort not to boil the planet, they’re the only reason that poverty as fallen over the past decades(take them out of the stats and its risen)
There maybe no future in the west but long term human survival and maintaing a habitable planet, and making sure no one has to live in poverty should be a premier goal for anarchists and communists
You can argue that there’s better ways to reach those goals, but in actually material reality ‘authoritarian’ China is the only realistic chance for halting the Anthropocene Extinction and host of other universally bad things
Real leftist organisation in the west effecting positive change, while important to fight for is as of now many, many years away from even limited fruition thus anti-imperialism needs the be a main focus of any real leftist project
Viewing China as making positive developments and being a society brimming with potential is not mutually exclusive with fighting for change in the west
Yeah I kinda just ignored the China bit there. I think things probably look pretty sweet right now if you are a Chinese citizen.
Its not impossible to move to China if you are in danger of persecution in the west(they’ve even recently relaxed visa regs), or to
to fight for a revolutionary change to a China style system at home
or at the very least advocate for reform to your local system so that it more closely resembles China’s where the working class control the commanding heights of the economy
(through a vanguard party, and not as in a idealised but not currently realistic system of direct democracy and instantly recallable delegates as advocated by most anarchists, and China is increasing the amount of horizontal power in society such as increasing the amount of worker co-ops, but not at a rate most anarchists would like)
rather than have Oligarchs dictate everything
not american also i’m not taking advice from an anarchist
no more sectarianism comrade, i’ll give you a pass on this one though because it made me laugh
fair enough sorry
Not so sure, it already seems to be in decline
There’s a reason this image (made from real thumbnails) has become a meme, because there’s an entire “China is about to collapse!!” grifting industry out there that pumps out nothing but videos like this about China’s supposed imminent collapse, based on nothing but misinformation and wishful thinking. When you have an audience that desperately wants it to be true, it’s easy money. They continue to move the goalposts and dates every time their absurd predictions don’t happen, because it’s complete nonsense.
If you fall for this, you might as well follow Gordon Chang, who is a far-right anti-China hawk who has been predicting China’s collapse for over 25 years, and keeps moving the date every year.
If you fall for this it’s embarrassing. Clickbait nonsense for an audience incapable or unwilling to do any critical thinking.
Remindme! 10 years
E: This channel is literally pumping out 4-5 videos every single day. I strongly suspect AI slop.
deflation in western context sounds like a bad thing, but deflation might could be an alternative interpretion of “holy shit everything is more affordable now!!!”
Wow here’s a youtube channel that’s depicts China in a positive light so you must be wrong
https://www.youtube.com/@BarrettYT/videos
How about instead of relying on random youtube videos we look at some hard evidence? like the fact that the main reason that global poverty as fallen in the past decades is because of China? per the UN and other sources: https://www.undp.org/china/blog/what-changes-after-china-defeats-poverty https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2022/02/how-china-defeated-poverty/ https://tradingeconomics.com/china/gdp-growth-annual
Or that compared to other powers their actually making a concerted effort to transition towards renewable energy: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-8d2b6944-4f7a-45b4-96fd-2d92499ff97d The Emerging US-China Energy Rivalry: Fossil Power vs Renewable Energy: https://rsis.edu.sg/rsis-publication/rsis/co26116/
Or that compared to the US ~30 miles of true(over 155mph) high speed rail, while China has over 31,000 miles and is continually building more and replacing older lines https://www.thetimes.com/world/asia/article/how-china-built-more-high-speed-rail-than-everyone-else-combined-cv0z5mljc
Then again China doesn’t have a ‘Hyperloop’ that takes you from one side of a convention center to another so yeah guess they’re declining
Damn that’s crazy can’t believe China survived through 20 economic collapses in the last 30 years they must be really resilient people huh.
seems fine to me
ok i actually clicked the link and good god dude how are you falling for this. it’s literally nothing like this
Ahahaha
lmao really
