    I don't think this party has any seats or many members at all Ireland.

    This is getting mad at some Trotskyist blog with 6 readers.

    Trotskyists go in the bin. It's not even well argued, particularly the "vaccine diplomacy" section.

      The only moral way to distribute vaccines is to sell it to white people and lobby for patents so the 3rd world can't manufacture their own. If you give vaccines to poor people, they might like you and your regime, which is imperialism

    "The stunning contrast between the enormous technological and scientific advancements of recent decades, and the poverty and deprivation still faced by billions of people is damning."

    If only there was a country, that was breaking this cycle through mass public investment, nationalization of domestic resources and third world cooperation. Oh well, back to writing newspapers about how we can stop imperialism for the next 100 years.

      Weird that somehow this is both exclusively the result of capitalism yet no other capitalist country has accomplished or even attempts to do such a thing, wonder what fundamental difference may hint at why China does differently.

      Also inb4 "Neolibs argue this too". Neolibs lie, yes, the problem with them making this argument is that they are fucking lying and capitalism is not responsible nor cares to do such a thing on its own, if you argue this way please learn to analyse the actual fundamental differences between arguments and actions that have only surface level similarities.

    Meh, seems like a nice article, one paragraph doesn’t invalidate it, even if you feel differently about nature of china.
