Me to other Communists: Stalin was a complex character who did make mistakes, went too hard on some stuff and not hard enough on others, but overall was a force for good, and I can never fault him for leading the USSR in defeating the Nazis.

Me to libs: You will not talk badly about uncle Joe Steel, ender of the holocaust, killer of fascists, beacon of hope to the global south.

I would like more people to become socialist, but I feel not condemning Stalin doesn’t help the cause.

Constantly repudiating historical socialists for being the wrong type of socialist hurts the cause far more, and is exactly what the feds want you to do.

Secret Chinese police stations was also projection I guess

Extremely rare PA w? Is internal pressure getting Abbas to stop being a running dog?

China: here’s what we’re going to do for the next 5 years

West: we can never understand those inscrutable Confucian Orientals

You’re in luck, China will back down from it’s red line (again), because they actually care about the continued existence of human civilisation over acting tough

However, because I just posted this prediction on chapo.chat, the opposite will come true and there’s gonna be a hot war.

Even with the current model of state directed capitalism, the amount of investment into social services and poverty reduction already shame the west. China isn’t yet in a position to press the communism button, but once the threat of America and it’s puppets decline there may well be a pivot.

If China can manage to turn its industries and markets to an internal production/consumption model and reduce its reliance on being an export economy, it would be much better off even without the massive growth. Growth will have to stop at some point, and the focus will be on stability, since China hasn’t made any indications it’ll try to fuel growth through imperialism like western economies have. Japan style stagnation would be not so terrible if your society is socialist.

One thing I really liked about Chinese TV (not streaming) was that ads were only shown in a big block in between shows, so you’d have like a 50 minute episode, 5-10 minutes of straight up ads, then the next show. A lot better than having multiple ad segments in the middle of a program.

I’m not checking for new food, I’m just wondering if my standards have dropped enough since last time I checked to eat the half a carrot and raw onion that’s been sitting there.

Make tankie mean pro-Soviet intervention against reactionary Hungarian colour revolution again.

Socialism, in an extreme simplification, is a mode of political and economic organisation in which the workers own the means of production, and receive the full value of their labour. While social welfare programs are often attached to that, they are not socialism in and of themselves, nor are they a prerequisite to socialism (but it is nice to have).
