  • War between Pakistan and India incoming?

    Jump

  • Does anyone have any information sources to at least get the background and the driving motive of this? It's a damn shame I'm so badly informed on the region and its history

  • Putin announces 72-hour Victory Day ceasefire

  • Don't bother, there's no point. Even if it made any sense - we neither have the time nor resources to engage with every single smug lib. That's not our strategy.

  • Putin announces 72-hour Victory Day ceasefire

  • Ordinary libs don't read past the headline. They believe what they want to believe - and what they want to believe is their self-righteousness, manufactured by US/Western propaganda press. They don't even try to look into the other side's version.

  • Suspect in Amsterdam stabbing rampage is Ukrainian man, police says

    Jump

  • I'm wondering if they can use this as justification to deport all the "Salo Uronili" Ukrainians to feed into the meat grinder.

  • Europe Is Short of Gunpowder and TNT When It Needs Them Most

    Jump

  • Europe is short of gray matter, and that is something you can neither produce on an industrial scale nor implant into their politicians' heads.

    Edit: apologies for my rudeness, but they do grind my gears that much

  • Is China socialist?

    Jump

  • Hey. Apologies for not answering for a while

    I tried finding the specific article from a western media outlet where I saw some schmuck admitting it, I think it was MSN or ABC... Could not do it. I really need to sort out the stuff in my personal archives... What you can do, I guess, is searching through Lemmygrad and Dessalines' stuff - you may find something useful there.

    Meanwhile - take a look at the reference list in this post: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/229881; also - this article may be of some use to you (it's more about China's international standing, but there may be a few useful bits)

    This one is sort of just for lulz, a classic example of "It does not mean what you think it means"

  • What Kind of Russia Will We Leave Our Children? Patriotism Between History and Politics

    Jump

  • But a nation is loved not for its political system

    Should Germans have loved Nazi Germany because it was "their nation", in spite of its political system? How about the Italians or the Japanese? Or any European nation participating in WW1? Is loving the US (or any other imperialist nation) not reactionary? Patriotism cannot and should not be detached from class reality and from material analysis. Otherwise it becomes nothing but a tool to lead the masses towards their slaughter in the name of Capital, instead of a tool for liberation.

    PS IMHO anyone unironically referencing Solzhenitsyn as "credible source" should be immediately dismissed.

  • Is China socialist?

    Jump

  • What these "China no socialist" ultras don't have is lack of conceptual understanding of what socialism is. The way they think is brilliantly described by Gabriel Rockhill in his Understanding Siege Socialism appearance, where he actually quoted Mao on this topic. In essence - ultras only have sensory understanding of what socialism should be, but not conceptual - let alone doing any praxis. They don't have a good grasp of dialectical materialism, they see socialism as "being this and that and that" - a set of characteristics that are present (or absent) in a given society.

    Conceptual understanding of socialism is the realization that socialism (and communism) is first and foremost a long, painful, tedious and prudently planned contradictory process of consciously building towards a certain type of socio-economic order. It concedes that building socialism, whatever form it initially takes, means that a new society is born OUT OF capitalism and under tremendous imperialist pressure. It does not, however, preclude using different tactics (when appropriate) which may seem to contradict the overall goal or strategy.

    No one in their right mind would say the USSR was not socialist, even though the NEP certainly allowed a wide range of private economic activity. Oh, by the way - it never went away fully because for that you have to develop productive forces to a colossal degree. On the other hand, the USSR did have a powerful planned/socialized sector by the time Khrushchev was in power, yet his right deviations and revisionism were obvious to many.

    Perhaps it reflects their weak theoretical grounding, perhaps something else (ahem fed ahem). BTW the "global proletariat must rise up" is a big red flag imo (no pun intended). Even fucking capitalists admit China is not capitalist...

  • Opposing The Gaza Genocide While Supporting Biden Is A Dishonest, Nonsensical Position

    Jump

  • They are not "trying to actually effect positive changes to society". That is exactly what being a liberal is all about - zero understanding of the material reality. What they are actually trying to do every day is upholding the interests of capital. And that means serving a specific economic group - the capitalists, or "the bourgeoisie". Whether by starting wars all over the globe, instigating coups, financing fascist death squads, supporting actual genocide, what have you. They don't give two shits about you, positive changes to society, anyone really but their donors and themselves.

  • What's far scarier for a lib than a republican

    Jump

  • The majority of Republikans are liberals too. In the classical sense of the word. Calling chuds "liberals" melts that place of theirs where the brain is usually supposed to be.
