"Something we haven't experienced in centuries, is that the greatest power in the world does not share our values. This is the world we're heading towards as China grows in power."
:xi-gun: :sicko-yes:
translated from his speech at the Nordic Council today btw
To say nothing of the existential climate crisis looming over our heads.
Hasn't China been the "leading world power" for most of human history? Smh I thought libs liked returning to the status quo
One one episode of Radio War Nerd, John took issue with some natsec stinkpiece referring to China as uncivilized. He was like "Uncivilized? They literally invented books!"
Most of human history did not have a world power. A state being able to exert influence on a global scale is a very new thing.
China had a long history of being powerful and than completely falling into chaos. Rinse repeat
Something we haven’t experienced in centuries, is that the greatest power in the world does not share our values.
Centuries? Dog, what the hell are your values?
Neo-Vikingism with nukes
They have plundered and rampaged across the world for centuries
Now, ONE GIANT NATION STANDS IN THEIR WAY
Starring Harrison Ford as Xi Jinping, Matt Damon as NATO
Viking is correct, it was just something you did, calling the old norse people Vikings is actually a common misnomer.
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
thw you realize that Deng "short king" Xiaoping played you and the antire imperialist west like a damn fiddle

Gonna make this channel even lower effort by letting yall make the memes for me.
I don't have an account there guys. Source is someone called dodecaweasel.
Honestly that site scares me.
lol
world we're headed towards? we're already there, but you can continue to serve up that delicious cope if you like
American boomers are a miracle economy born into a historical jackpot: post-WWII. If you compare China and the US and ignore both country's boomers and just compare the under 40s, China has clearly already won. They own homes, their jobs pay enough for them to live, they're better off than their parents were, they're on track to retire in their 50s, their infrastructure is developing rather than crumbling, all the numbers are up up up.
Nah nuclear annihilation to own the 'commies' is pretty much the point of "better dead than red."
The US government as it exists today wouldn't do that. Even as conditions crumble on the periphery, the ruling class is still sitting pretty. However, if it balkanized and the nuclear arsenal is splintered into the hands of various regional figures and generals... :yikes-1:
Official translation of the speech just dropped on NATO's website for any nerds interested in what's going on in the heads of imperialist ghouls. I'd rather not provide a link to the NATO website for obvious reasons, but you can find it pretty easily with google.
They just wrote "China is a growing superpower that does not share our values" in the shortened, transcribed version, but you can hear the more accurate translation at around the 11 minute mark of the audio version.
Oh no! It is going to be so horrible when the world's greatest power doesn't share our values of fucking up brown people and stealing their stuff.
:deng-smile: Deng really had the last laugh, I consider him largely vindicated
He wasnt, but he was still really cool in practice too as a revolutionary. Participated in the long march and was in important positions in the cpc pre revolution in a lot of chinese civil war epic communist shit. Mao actualy had to jump in and tell him to chill cause he was too brutal during the Anti-rightist campaign later in the 50s
I always did think he had the winning smile of someone constantly remembering the time they merked a bunch of reactionaries.
"Alleged counter revolutionaries"
If one had read only lib sources, one could be forgiven for thinking that actual counter revolutionaries aren't a thing, or are some type of incredibly rare cryptid.
Revolutions are believable, but people trying to prevent a revolution is not. Counter revolutionaries must be a made up excuse the revolutionaries use to engage in violence! Yeah that makes more sense :yea:
I'm seeing him in a better light than I used to but I still think a lot of things could have gone wrong since his reforms. Maybe I should read up on it a bit more.
Well he himself did expect and was content with future generations seeing him as a "not clearly correct and good" figure
I would be quite content if I myself could be rated 50/50 in merits and demerits. But one thing I can say for myself: I have had a clear conscience all my life. Please mark my words: I have made quite a few mistakes, and I have my own share of responsibility for some of the mistakes made by Comrade Mao Zedong. But it can be said that I made my mistake with good intentions. There is nobody who doesn’t make mistakes.
We are still far from the historical point of him being clearly vindicated from a socialist perspective but chances only seem to slowly get better with time .So if that ends up being the case Deng would have in retrospect played the greatest hand in human history
