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.

nah

Its also the ongoing technological shift which provides Marxians and the communists the necessary tools to win this century. It will be hard but the case is very easily presentable. Lamentably enough our window of opportunity was really 20th century, that was the golden moment with USSR and all.

>why did stalin have to die, he was about to achieve global communism

Eh, the hope was lost in 1980s

not when Stalin died

What about Fascism? Communism isn't really appealing to the right wing

Fascism is wholly insufficient in addressing any of the pressing needs that must be addressed. Only Socialism or Communism, *by the virtue of how society is fundamentally organised in these systems,* can address the problems of our time.

tbh I'd rather kym before advocating for collectivising the means of production. it's like asking more deaths and more suffering
