  • The new version of 'SJW'.

    Also, it's rather silly how they obviously try to pretend that measures like trying to hire more marginalised people somehow means that better candidates aren't hired when we know that what happens otherwise is that the better candidates from the pools of marginalised groups aren't hired.











  • Asking this as somebody who wants the PRC to succeed in today's world.

    Specifically when people try to claim that the PRC' economy is socialist (as opposed to whether or not the government is), I do wonder what the argument for that point is? Because by the definitions of socialism/socialist societies/socialist economies that I have encountered, they all at the very least require elimination of the profit motive in the economy, which is obviously not the case in the case of the economy of the PRC, which literally features both companies owned by capitalists as well as co-ops, which operate on the profit motive.

    I also do question people's understanding of the implications of planned economies vs privatised economies (not just capitalism, as private property can exist without caitalists having any dominance as a class) when it comes to workers' rights. It very much feels like people - even socialists - do not understand just how different those are and how much of a boon absence of private property is.
