Do you think China is communist?
their like a weird mix
I see china more from a Taiwanese lense
97% of businesses are privately owned.
Most people here think they're communist. This server is just completely braindead about anything left of center.
Taiwan is pretty WOKE.
I don't think any country has instituted land reform as seamlessly as they have, using a Georgist tax.
yeah their a decent government and the damn chinese are trying to basically annex the country
Xi Xinping is woke as fuck.
But by no means a communist even though he's markedly more Marxist fundamentalist than the vast majority of his party.
bruh the alt right call you woke if you blame the jews for everything thats not a good descriptor
But he's like Chinese Trump.
hes not widely hated though
He has aggressive foreign policy goals as well as domestic policy goals.
He's a neo-imperialist.
"neo" as a term is something else we need to stop using its so subjective.
are neo-nazis new anymore
How is it subjective? The definition is pretty clear.
I guess genaric is a better term than subjective
Neo as a prefix for ideology doesn't necessarily mean new. Neo-Nazism won't be not neo-Nazism in a century if it's the same ideas.
It means a detraction from original ideas.
Neo-imperialism is different from imperialism, neo-Nazism is different from Nazism.
go look in chat
Yeah I see that.
But that's semantics. It doesn't mean anything.
thats my point for fucks sake
Neo-imperialism is "new" imperialism because intranational governments made direct conquest impossible. It won't ever be not neo-imperialism simply because it's old.
but in 10 years what do we call neo neo imperialism
We won't because it will be the same.
its like calling a city New York
It's not like that at all.
fake news
lol
how is it not?
so what makes you think there cant be a second form of neo nazi or neo conservitive?
Assigning New to city names was a gimmick to attract people in the Americas with the assumption it will be similar to the European city, in this case York. Assigning neo as a prefix to an ideology means it's a detraction from original ideas.
They're not related concepts at all.
wew lad its the same word
But very clearly not conceptually related.
sure but to say their not related is false
