  • China Condemns ‘Unacceptable’ US, Israeli Strikes on Iran

    Jump

  • I never "hoped" for intervention. I always figured that there are valid reasons outside my understanding and, as another user mentioned, China has a lot of US bases surrounding them and therefore they can't directly intervene anyway.

    I hope that china can maneuver itself into a position of having the privilege of being able to intervene across the globe.

  • Do not misunderstand; I disagree with the picture and used it as an example of something i want to push back against

    Not sure if you actually misunderstood me tho.

  • In what way is China currently helping Iran? I assume intelligence and surveillance technology?

    I see a lot of the typical bs like this:

    I would like to be able to provide a bit of pushback against such narratives

  • Ayatollah Khamenei was the only authority preventing Iran from getting the nuclear bomb.

  • I mean, i am sure it takes a while to produce and probably even longer if you don't already have infrastructure for it.

  • Do people actually like ray tracing and all this light reflection graphics stuff?

    Jump

  • You lost me at calling dark souls beautiful haha. Ngl, even dark souls 3 looks kinda trash for the time it released. You know how you remember shitty graphics better than they were because you played it as a kid? DS1 looks like how i remember PS2 graphics lmao.

    I also never had a visibility issue with good lighting in games. No more than i do in real life i suppose.

    I honestly do like more high fidelity graphics, but don't care much about realism. The newest nintendo games as well as the latest God of War games are all beautiful even though they take on widely different art styles.

    Realistic graphic mods can suck my dick tho'. That shit just looks like shit from ass 100% of the time and i can't imagine someone actually playing with these mods besides putting them on to show your friends how cool it looks like before uninstallling it again.

  • USA is so desperate to stop China, it's trying to make new global coalition

    Jump

  • You know, many people seem to be annoyed at him repeating points constantly, but it does help my AuDHD ass to learn more actually.

    I do hope that China finds a way to not be so dependent on supply lines that America can easily disrupt, especially for oil.

  • You leave reactionaries an inch, they take a foot

  • Isn't the CPUSA also kinda cringe itself? I feel like non-cringe commie parties wouldn't be allowed lol

  • but they could unquestionably move the needle.

    Source? Jk, but you can't just make that assumption. What does "move the needle" even mean? And what is the cost of moving it?

    I assure you that our comrades over there have already thought about those things.

    If they did, you'd support it, right? If so, how could you defend them doing basically NOTHING about it?

    Sure, but only because them "doing something about it" would also mean that they have the material conditions to do so, which is the only reason they would make that decision.

    That also means that them not doing something about it is based on their material analysis and I trust them when they say that they can't do much more than they already are. Who am I to disagree? I simply don't have the hubris to assume that I know better than the most successful socialist experiment of humanity.

    They know more about their geopolitical standing than I do. I am just gonna refer to the experts and the experts in this case is the CPC

    The alternative to critical support is uncritical support, and I'd hope no Marxist gives uncritical support to literally anything.

    That would mean that everything we support, we support critically, which then removes the meaning of critical support imo.

    I believe it is more so that it is critical for us to support something even if it hurts us. At least, again, that's how I understood it.

  • Look at Yemen. They're upholding international law. One of the only ones to do anything about it. Is little Yemen more powerful than China, or are they just more bullish on humanity?

    Yemen being weaker/irrelevant is likely exactly why the US is not afraid of their actions. China being stronger, but not overwhelmingly so, and more connected to the west might just be the reason why the US is more afraid of what China is doing and will react more harshly because of it.

    "Critical support" means support with criticism. This thread lacks that criticism, imo.

    Who said that we are only offering critical support to China? Also, critical support is more so used for the likes of Russia which are acting anti-imperialist, but still built on capitalist exploitation and generally not having an ML philosophy attached to their politics. At least that's how I understood it.

  • Seeking feedback on my new "Basic Course" for Marxism-Leninism

    Jump

  • Big fan of the checkpoint questions! Having questions pre-made after the lecture has always helped me in my learning as I immediately got feedback on if I understood the material properly. Especially if answers are provided too, but that might be harder.

  • BadEmpanada takes are becoming even worse.

  • Ah yes. There is one unshakable truth

    Yep, that's kinda how truth works actually. We base our view on material analysis and see the truth that China can't do much more than they already are.

    yet I am dogmatic for criticizing one decision made by the entity that must not be questioned.

    I mean, you are clearly putting principles and ideals over material analysis. There is simply no way that you tried to materially analyse the position of China and got to the conclusion that they should intervene more than they already are. China is the number 1 enemy for the west and you want them to ruin all hard earned relations with them for what exactly?

    I will continue to criticize what I feel needs to be criticized for the possible betterment of the movement and people as a whole.

    Throwing out moralist opinions based on dogmatic ideals is not criticism. Again, read the thread and you can find actual criticisms and their answers.

    Of course you won't actually read anything in here and just keep on holding unto your liberal opinions on how the biggest enemy of the western world should act.

    They have done insanely well so far and you should have some respect towards the people that are actually fighting against the empire and are getting closer in over taking it. Just an insane amount of hubris that you think that your "criticisms" can hold any water to the communist party of china and their decision making.

    You are welcome to join me and engage in discussion and debate

    ? You are the one that has refused to engage in discussion and debate. I told you multiple time to take to the thread and actually read it.

    Enough of this now.

  • "Rehearsed responses" motherfucker, THE TRUTH DOESN'T CHANGE.

    Y'all always reveal yourself with that exact bullshit. Of course the responses are gonna sound the same, they were forged in truth and there is only one mold.

    There are no opinions to be had here, it's just you being wrong. All your arguments have been defeated thoroughly in this very thread by others already

    https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1920/lwc/

    Stop being a dogmatic idealist, Read it and weep.

  • There is just no more discussion to be had. All the bullshit you come up with has already been answered in this very thread.

    Stop being a racist failure and just read the 100 comments here and be educated

  • BadEmpanada takes are becoming even worse.

    Jump

  • Yada yada. The other comments in this thread already addressed everything and explained in easy terms why China is doing what they are doing.

  • Question about the tendency to be reactionary of the the intelligentsia, and new petite bourgeoisie and labor aristocracy

    Jump

  • So if a scholar is also a marxist-leninist and teaches at an university they are automatically intelligentsia? Even if they support ML/Communist ideas?

    I assume it works like the Engels situation. He was part of the bourgeoisie, but acted like a class traitor as far as I understand.

    So, that professor imo would be part of the intelligentsia, but, if he actually teaches ML ideas, acts as a "traitor". In this case, unlike Engels, the professor is not part of a different class and exists more as a faulty tool than a class traitor.

    Take this answer with a grain of salt though.

    I am not yet educated enough to even attempt to answer your second question😇

  • I am not gonna pretend like I specifically know a lot about their trade with Israel and why they continue some of their trade, but then also block investments in Israel.

    I just know that they have been building up one of the most successful socialist experiments ever and that they have been phenomenal at navigating their politics and economy as to lift their people up into greater heights while not relying on the destruction of other people to achieve that.

    I am sure that Israel is not an integral part of their economy and I am also sure that banning trade will not affect Israel at all because America and the EU are gonna pick up the slack

    Anyway, trade is not support so maybe they just don't see it as a problem at all and are concentrating on navigating the downfall of the empire and dodging the lash outs while trying not to agitate them into nuclear war.

  • Just like literally every country that has experienced revolution, yes. You think the commies in 1917 russia where not hunted down before they won? Feudal China fucking loved the commies, everyone knows that of course. The commies famously had a great and easy revolution in germany as well and the police just let them be.

    Zero thought behind that reply and clearly just written in order to try to affirm your anti-china bias.

    Thank you for your answer!

  • Or they could not do that because there is nothing specifically wrong from profiting off of your enemies' actions as long as you don't rely on it for your entire economy. We don't really deal with moralist arguments here
