My god, even the best chance for socialism is hopeless because of the dollar. “it’s not doomer because the party could do something different” idgaf day after day it’s more dollars and less long term hope. Nothing China does can matter because all the green energy, all the bnr, all the poverty elimination, all of it is paid for with imperial currency and little to no interest in changing this arrangement from within. The party will talk about win-win arrangements and mutually-beneficial cooperation until the fucking nukes are flying.

      You’re not helping the doomer, comrade. Everyone is a lib, and there’s not a Stalin in sight. So imperial core residents just wait until the planet cooks us alive, maybe doing some charity work for migrants and people on the streets with a red flag in the mean time. Fantastic

          Ok man. I understand it’s about being correct, but there’s a reason I made a separate post to vent rather than replying to you directly like I actually think good things can happen

      And even then they started to seep back into the Soviet bureaucracy as soon as Stalin died.

      They existed in there semi-covertly from well before his death, as Khrushchev's coup itself demonstrated.
