    China perfects neoliberalism and spreads it to the world by force.

      Really cool to imagine neoliberalism is a warlock brew or some shit dude. China's had to engage with markets because they NEED CAPITAL. That's not some selfish desire, those are the conditions.

        You gotta admit though, China becoming the neoliberal hedgemon would be incredibly funny in a dark kind of way, even if it more or less condems the entire planet to destruction.

          Stalin: Socialism in one country.

          Xi: Socialism with it's boot on the neck of all crackkka countries.

          Yeah I am aware this is where you're all getting this idea. Not Marxism, it's pessimism. Fuck you.

        But those conditions have led to the rise of a massive Chinese bourgeois class which very well may seize power from Xi in the next decade. He's not getting any younger.

          This is just idle speculation, you don't actually have anything up the latter assumption lmao

          What have the bourgeois class recently done to thumb their nose at the communist party successfully? Name something, don't blow air at me!

            I'm assuming they're partly to blame for the lockdown protests, and we can be fairly confident the CIA is attempting to fund troublemakers. But yes, this is just idle speculation based on the general nature of bourgeois classes rather than the actual actions of the Chinese bourgeois.

      TBH it's not clear if you mean China is neoliberal (main difference being the ruling class is Chinese instead of eurokkkean) or if you're saying they're building a socialist state and exporting neoliberalism to their economic colonies or if you mean they're exporting neoliberalism to accelerate the global working class to class consciousness.

      On the contrary, I think that renewed socialist vigor will arise in the masses in China. The youth are already disaffected by the rapid economic growth and relentless work schedules of the last few decades. If there is going to be a political sea change in China, I have to believe that they have the instruments to empower the proletariat more so than any other country in the world. Show me a neoliberal country that executes billionaires for corruption.
