  • At what point of your political development did you find out that Taiwan is a settler-colony?

    Jump

  • I first learned that Taiwan as a political entity was formed when the KMT had retreated there.

    It wasn’t until later until I learned that the KMT were essentially Chinese Nazis, and I put two and two together.

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

    Jump

  • Re intelligentsia, they are only reactionary because they are selected by capitalist institutions to be reactionary. As in only intelligentsia with reactionary ideas have their research funded. So that can easily be alleviated by seeking out and funding intelligentsia whose ideas advance socialism. Imagine if Grover Furr got funding and was heavily publicized.

    The petite bourge are willing to accept lower pay as long as there is lowered operational risk. This is where state owned enterprises go a long way in managing the petite bourgeois by giving them consistent business. As an example, the soviet union and the PRC allowed for private enterprises, because the majority of the economy was state owned.

    Similar to the intelligentsia, the labour aristocracy are chosen for their position based not only on competence but also their tendency towards reaction. But even so, a lot of the labour aristocracy are apolitical and materialistic, because a lot of their work necessitates interaction with material reality.

  • Chinese robots are getting kind of insane yeah?

    Jump

  • I was in China a few years back, and there was a clanker rolling around serving my food at a restaurant.

    Now they've got humanoid clankers doing backflips and shit on national television for the world to see. One even corrected itself when it stumbled.

  • Why don't we see socialist countries "rewilding" the internet?

    Jump

  • Because that's how you get the proliferation of right wing ideology.

    Have you been on forums with zero moderation?

    ‘I think if a definition of imperialism excludes the EAST INDIA COMPANY, something is fucked up’

    Jump

  • It's like redefining fascism to exclude America and Israel.

  • I know people might just be joking but I can't stand the foolish logic

    Jump

  • A little bit off topic, but why TF does right wing nationalism (which is supposed to be all about exclusive self determination of one's own country) always end up compromising with American interests?

    We saw this with Ukraine, Britain, Canada, and now Japan. I'm sure there are many many others.

    To answer your question, the invasion of China won't be conducted by Japan. It will be a joint task force consisting of the US, South Korea, the Philippians, and Japan.

    As it is, a simulation of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan has the US + Allies able to hold off the invasion, but with massive losses, including 2 of its 10 aircraft carriers, Taiwan losing its navy and Japan losing half its fleet of fighter jets and a quarter of its navy. China would lose 1/15 of its air force and 1/6 of its navy.

    In short, China doesn't need nukes.

    And it's not just Japan. South Korea and the Philippians are experiencing a military buildup as well. Otherwise these countries do not have the qualifications to invade China alongside the US.

    How many of you knew who Epstein was before he supposedly killed himself?

  • Why so many right wingers into linux? (And specifically youtube guide makers)

  • They think the bourgeois are too inclusive

  • What is your opinion on The Grayzone?

  • I don’t know about the gray zone but geopolitical economy report is pretty good.

    r/communism rule changed from "No non-Marxists" to "No non-Maoists"

    Jump

  • Cultural revolution? I thought Maoists were ones that follow the doctrine of protracted warfare as revolutionary praxis? That’s several decades before the cultural revolution.

    r/communism rule changed from "No non-Marxists" to "No non-Maoists"

    Jump

  • But you’ve got to admit that the most successful communists is/were maoists.

    Other than the CPC, the Indian maoists and Philippine Maoists are at the forefront of struggle. Both parties hold significant territory in their respective countries.

  • Epstein used EMAIL to talk about rape and cannibalism. Meanwhile I have to use a VPN to torrent a videogame.

    Jump

  • Like, you don’t have to.

    Just don’t torrent video games all the time.

    They only go after you if you torrent terabytes for the purpose of reseeding.

  • Xiaomi SU7 owner puts 165,000 miles on his EV in 18 months, battery health at 94.5%

    Jump

  • That’s pretty good. Though I would much prefer a design that allows the owner to order and replace individual cells as they go bad without specialized equipment.

    Batteries can fail prematurely

  • Would YOU destroy the false idol of broken promises (colloquially known as "the Statue of Liberty") or keep it?

    Jump

  • Taking it down costs money and resources that would be better spent elsewhere.

    There’s nothing inherently wrong with liberty as a concept, but in this specific context, it’s meant as the liberty of bourgeois colonists

  • Imo I would rather an angloid not even try to pronounce something than pronounce Chinese names stupidly.

  • Oh wow. Fits the pattern of third world nationalist parties being self contradictory.
