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.
Thank you for this, responding to the last bit. I don’t know a ton, but I’ve read a lot of young Chinese people are disillusioned with the current state of things. Whether that makes them fervent Marxist party members who will fight the good fight or libs who blame the party for their problems, I can’t say. But that’s through western media so I could be way wrong
Idk either tbh, I have heard this mainly from friends who were a little more tuned in to happenings in China cuz they know Mandarin and can overcome the language barrier that is partly why China's internet is so separate from the rest of the internet, I think they might know some party members too, not sure (in other words this rumor of mine is basically worthless lol)
Def something I should investigate more
The ultimate question here I guess is the question of 2-line struggle like with what happened inside the CPSU. Is the party too cooked to fix or not? Idk, I lean toward it's not but I'm really not qualified to even say at this point, not to mention I am Amerikkkan lmao
I def wouldn’t say it’s cooked, xi is proof that progress can be made, but it depends on the ideological perspectives of the youth
True, true
