Socialism is a transition period between capitalism (and other modes of production that came before it) towards communism. Socialism even by Lenin’s and Marx’s words is a period riddled with contradictions. The state’s role is to work towards communism. China is applying marxism-leninism to its context and is doing amazing while at it. Strengthening the productive forces as to combat imperialism is the way to go and China knows it. China doesn’t need western ultra-lefts living at the tit of the empire to tell it what it has to do to ensure the survival of its sovereign state for the betterment of the working class’s material conditions.

How so? They’ve got less tyrants than most of the western world for sure

The fascist empire strikes again

Of course they are led by a marxist-leninist vanguard party. Just because they are leading a state owned market economy in order to build up their productive forces so they can counteract the power of US hegemony/imperialism, doesn’t mean they aren’t doing socialist state building.

You don’t have to like the government, but they’re the sole reason China is slowly starting to take the lead in science and engineering. These are the fruits of marxism-leninism, whether you like it or not.

The Western media hegemony working in lockstep with its handlers in the White House, regardless of their pretend positioning as for or against the current American regime.

Well, it’s good for the US ruling class that the US is not a democracy, so whatever the plebs think is irrelevant to the decision making process, whether they’re for it or against it.

It also contributes to the climate catastrophe by providing copious amounts of oil. It also enjoys the fruits of the exploitation in the Global South, hence it can redistribute said fruits of imperialism to its people, which is indeed better than the US oligarchs hoarding it all, but not by a lot.

They should’ve let Israel do the airstrike, then it would’ve been legal

The biggest issue with No King’s, at least out of my perspective is that it is only centered around Trump and his cronies, and doesn’t actually target the system that keeps churning out people like Trump, produces them and puts them into power. Americans believe that Trump happened to them like a natural disaster would, and that they were sadly just ill prepared. They fail to see and correctly point out that the system thrives on people like Trump and actively pursues putting them into positions of power. Until that isn’t addressed, these protests will bring about no material change.

I for one welcome this development. China, even if just out of national security interests, has proven to be quite a valuable partner in championing open source alternatives to Western technologies locked under key, proprietary licensing, and other such arrangements, which led to monopolies. China first started doing this with designing and actually building RISC-V architecture devices as a way to move away from x86 and ARM architectures. Now let’s hope that UBIOS will be supported in a similar, open source way, so that we can gain more sovereignty over our own devices.

I’m queer. I’m not falling for your bullshit. Libs will drop trans people as soon as they can if it means appeasing their corporate overlords. We’ve seen it all over the “civilized” world. They did it in the UK, they’re doing it right now in the US.

Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds. There is no such thing as values on the liberal wing of politics, just as there are no values on the MAGA wing. As soon as capital is involved, they will drop anything they stood for.

Who cares. The cops also stalk homeless people and no one seems to have a problem with that since it’s legal. No sympathy for class traitors

What a boring future we live in. The working class being distracted by petty disputes like these, mourning fucking podcasters, when the need to organize against the capitalist class is greater than ever.

We’re not disappointed at all. The Great Firewall is doing an amazing job at blocking US interference, and the CIA and its lackeys hate it for that.

Fight back against what? Other white groypers?

I didn’t say any of that. I have no clue where you got that from

Gramsci talked about this long before the 24/7 news cycles even existed. This is what the bourgeois hegemony is. Hegemony isn’t defined only by the brute force of the state to enforce itself onto the people, but encompasses the ownership of cultural, political, and intellectual institutions too. The role of hegemony is to shape the views and values of the underlying classes as to make said values seem normal, organic, and timeless. This in turn will manufacture the consent the owning class needs in order to pursue its interests. As of now, the bourgeois hegemony has decided that Charlie Kirk needs to be brought on equal footing with other political activists. They have decided that the subordinate classes need to accept that Charlie Kirk’s very real and tangible political activism is nothing but “opinions” in “the marketplace of ideas” and the consequences he has suffered at the hands of the system he helped build are unexpected. This is why everyone from the democrats to the republicans, from the liberal media to the conservative media is suddenly calling out “political violence” and mourning Kirk publicly. The bourgeoisie is trying to instill a new Zeitgeist and the people calling it out are a thorn in their side.
