The only time I see this term being used it when Trotskyists run out of road and have nothing else to say. Then they apply it incorrectly as a mindless slur. I don't see it applying to the Inside China Business guy. I don't know what you call him, a religious nut? A right winger?
I can't take anyone who uses this slur seriously.
A couple of things come to mind with this. Firstly, this reshoring has required a colossal subvention by the state. The money printer can currently go brr all day long, but if every reshoring that was needed required such intervention then this would not be feasible, especially considering the balancing act that's currently needed to counter inflation. Dedollarisation that's continuing apace further threatens this model. Already we have Trump recently threatening states that plan to trade in non-dollar currencies.
The reason for the deindustrialisation in the first place has not gone away. The inevitable march towards the export of finance capital being of primary importance to the imperialist state will continue. This seems to be a panicky flagship example. Root causes have not been addressed, and won't be.
But at the same time I do take your point that we're probably overstating the situation. I hope not by much.
Thanks!
Anti-communist propaganda, history rewriting. Spreading double genocide theory...
Me in real life except when I'm pushed I remain completely calm and sealion libs endlessly until they regret ever poking the bear.

Just as a side question, where does this image format come from? I've seen it around a bit.
I thought they'd go with the Chinese this time.
Hard to choose betwen India, the UK and the Ukraine.
This is just incredible. The world looks on.
All the October 7th bullshit is laid bare now. There's no hostages or Khghamas in the West Bank. It was always just an excuse for the genocide.
Like the Khive
The what now? Oh.... another one.
I keep hearing about this meme from normie boomer media, but I've never actually seen it in the wild. I'm starting to think it was a failed astroturfed fellow kids meme.
Good enough for me!
How official is this?
The German bourgeoisie is committing genocide, so there's not really much daylight between these groups.
EDIT: I see that this discussion has already taken place.
They don't take orders from him though.
Stracciatella.
