well

China is woke

They know how keep their people in check

if the Maoist underground movement manages to make most out of the coming collapse, then it might go Maoist again. but this is a long shot; whatever emerges from the post-CPC order is more likely to not bear resemblance to communism

> China is woke

more like its a horrorshow on acid

The fact that most national socialists praise China and North Korea is highly concerning

this is the party

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maoist_Communist_Party_of_China

```MCPC was founded on 28 November 2008 and is gathering up members and supporters, in an unconfirmed status, ranging in the thousands within the rural lands of China.[5]

In 2007, 17 members of the CCP – ranging from retired officials, military officers and academics – issued a public letter to the CCP urging the end of the Dengist reforms and to return to “Mao Zedong Thought”. This became a significant upheaval to the minds of the Chinese working class, for it showed that the growing discontent of the CCP was not just by those on the streets and rural lands of China, but by those that have worked closely with thoe of the CCP as well.

In the Spring of 2018, Maoist inspired labor activists and students attempted to form a independent labor union at The Jasic Technology factory in Guangdong. Chinese authorities responded by detaining more than a dozen of the activists, having them undergo "ideological correction". [6] [7]

On November 11th, 2018 Chinese authorities began a campaign to detain and arrest students at Peking University, Beijing who may have been involved in the labor unrest in Guangdong. [8][9] Those arrested include Chinese #MeToo activist Yue Xin who participated in The JASIC protests. At least, 12 students, mostly from Peking University, but also university outside Beijing have been detained, the whereabouts and conditions of their imprisonment are unknown. [10] ```

IDEOLOGICAL CORRECTION

I dislike Maoism but honestly fuck it, I hope these guys win

and they literally speak of the Wall in relation to the ruling elites. That is, as something they'd be pressed against when executed

I wonder how they are doing now

I haven't heard much since 2008. But then again, being repressed, it makes sense

When you think of what the CPC is doing, with population control, the absolute party and security forces control of all aspects of society, the usage of technology to keep tabs on *everyone* - its not going to last

and they are doing this because they know that the discontent is on the rise

there was a study that found that there are about *on average* 180,000 mass protests across China every year

I think it was in 2007

Free Tibet

Ching Chong ping pong

I saw

the one concern is that when PRC does fall apart, it will be the most spectacular event of the century so far, and it won't be smooth like in USSR. I think it will be very, very violent

Oh yeah

The market will be fucked too

yes

it will send shockwaves around the globe

Great Depression 2 electric boogaloo

<:hangthink:520000469532278788>

lmao

I mean

Were already not that far off from having the 2020s be a repeat of the 1930s

Yeah and in actual fact the markets didn't ever really recover from 2008

not in any substantial way

mhm

The Neoliberal age draws near to its end, but its unclear what emerges from the other side of the capitalist paradigm. There are a few possibilities and most of them are not pleasant

Yeah

Unless the Neoliberals try to double down and go full 1984

Well that is one possibility. I think that, if things continue as they do, the capitalist class will eventually have sufficient degree of automation and AI to provide them with self-sufficiency in production and industry, meaning that they will largely become independent of society at large and society at large (that is, including the state) become completely dependent on them.

In this case the capitalist himself dissolves capitalism, and becomes almost a new feudal lord in this techno-feudal dystopia that would emerge on the basis of the current productive relations and their clash with emerging technologies.

yep

then the ex neoliberals, now economic serfs can have their v for vendetta

Time to start working on those homemade EMP Grenades <:lol:521377935672737792>

This is the reason why there's no future without socialism. You need socialism as instrumental part of whatever future paradigm you choose. Now, there's very broad scope of socialist options available, but you *need* joint ownership of the means of production at the direction of the whole people as a *necessary ingredient* in any worthwhile future society plan.
