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…

“Denazification” isn’t just an empty word

The juiciest:

1. “South Korea was created from thin air by US generals”;
2. “There is no equivalence between Ukraine and Palestine”;
3. “Just how dire is “Israel”'s situation?”

Notable mentions: “How to evaluate a source”; “There is no vaccine against propaganda”

And, since it’s impolite to say bad things about dead people, there’s no “share a cauldron with Kissinger”

Very good post. I saved this for later, when I write my own works on the issue - it’ll come in handy. Thank you

reading Killing Hope Wait till you hear about… Oh… Oh god… Tens, hundreds of coups…

It’s hard to name another empire that cumulatively did as much damage to humanity as the US of A.

Idk about the patsoc part, but they are definitely sus

I can access it - using a Serbian VPN.

I suggest we get them to face the wall and troll them with fake execution, Soviet-style. They need not worry, we’ll use blank rounds. Pinky promise.

I honestly thought this could not get more embarrassing. Holy shit… Like, do you not know history at all? I can’t… I just… There’s a million things to say about this, I don’t even know where to start.

Death to Banderite Nazis. Death to Ze. Death to America.

Common lame.ee L

Wrong answers only

Stalin. Should. Not. Have. Stopped. At. Berlin. Absolutely deplorable…

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck…

Or maybe their capitalist hegemony is in some deep shit and the only way the empire can hold out trying to uphold it is playing with fire. Simply said - desperation.

I expected the US to have kept their Nazi dogs on a leash this time around. That way, they could have painted a rosy picture to their domestic libs - “oh, look, how progressive they are over there! They have pride parades and Starbucks”

It seems like the Nazis just don’t give a fuck sometimes.

Walking up to real Jewish people and telling them they are not Jews… Lol They always project their own insecurities, don’t they?

Ah shit, here we go again.

Now we’ll have to pin this failure on someone
