Nato considers friendship more terrifying than endless war
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
Ironically, this was a reason why Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea have some semblance of a good quality of life and are pretty strong capitalist countries. Land reform in Japan was because they were afraid of communists and they have a great health care system to tranquilize any radical spirit. In the Philippines, the landlords did not do this despite the USA telling them that they probably should do it in order to stop communism. This results in the shitty landlord economy as a push factor that put rural residents into Philippines' cities, tons of peasants because landlords still operate haciendas there, and braindrain into anglo countries.
apparently the original plot involved China “reposessing” America over debts lol.
I would have loved to see this version.
:xi-clap:
A bunch of repo men with tugboats carry away the Statue of Liberty.

It's like the Atlantic Council and Economist editorial board teamed up to write a film.
Just pointing out that the NYPD has a larger budget than the entire DPRK military; this movie is nonsensical.
Apparently there's a real Sino-US Friendship Center in Muscatine, Iowa, where Xi visited in 1985.
He visited with a team in 1985 to learn about US agriculture, and supposedly the trip left a big impression on him. Story about it here.
I totally stole this from you on the discord lol, thanks for sharing
I remember how they had Pontiac, MI decorated like this for a while, looked way better.
About a decade ago, when they were doing filming, they left the set additions up downtown for a while.
Michigan ended the movie tax cuts because it didn’t bring in as much (any) money.
The nine scariest words in the English language are "Aaaaaah! The Communists are coming! The Communists are coming!"
God the remake sucked.
If you laugh off the obvious Red Scare nature of it, the original is actually a well-made movie that's surprisingly sympathetic to some of the main communist antagonists.
The guy who wrote it is one of those libertarians that like Stalin because they thought he was strong or some shit.
all those Asian actors that actually agreed to appear in this yellow peril garbage should just hang themselves in shame.
