The even simpler mechanism that Deng successfully exploited is market competition. Imagine you're a Western company and China just opened, you have two choices : be patriotic and keep your workers home, or delocalise to China.
Except there is no choice, if you don't delocalise you're gonna go under because everyone else is slashing their prices and flooding the markets thanks to cheap labor.
Giving the opportunity to gain market advantage to capitalists is enough to force them into anything, including collective self destruction. That's cartoonishly stupid. Truly the most efficient and rational system lol
Probably because eating all the roots would kill the tree which is unsustainable long term
From what I've heard, the larvae feeds on one of the worst food ever in terms of calories and nutrition which is why it takes so much time. So basically they're just chilling on their piece of tree root which doesn't really screams "active" to me but maybe I'm wrong

Good one
Feels like one of those cases where somebody doesn't need/like a specific thing in the first place and instead of simply not doing it they gotta impose it on everyone by using whatever argument
If somebody is already a communist, what's the point of berating them for watching slop. On the contrary if someone is not a communist then telling them the first step is stopping enjoying anything they're not going to become a communist anytime soon
If liberalism had any kind of consistency Musk would be in prison for violating every notion of fair debate and free speech, but liberalism is just defending dictatorship of the bourgeoisie one way or another
"Social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism" but for the wrongest reasons imaginable
Trump is so barred from politics by the bourgeoisie, he can't even be elected president!
Just like the Imperial Core is outsourcing industrial and agricultural labor to the periphery, the US is trying to outsource its hyperproductive cultural industry to its vassal economic laboratories
This article is a controversial take, but I'd say there is some truth to it. France Unbowed is currently the party with the biggest pro-China sentiment, relatively to the extremely anti-China political landscape. From my (small) experience within the movement, I noticed that MLs were able to climb to high consulting positions. There is a clear strategy of using radical Marxist elements as an ideological engine, while using less controversial figures as public speakers.
The thing that makes us optimistic is how they evolved from moralistic anti-racism to a more militant and anti-colonial approach, and how they explicitly rejected transphobia. It is a movement that evolves, it keeps adapting.
However we must not ignore that Mélenchon isn't a ML, he is ultimately a moderate as he doesn't fully commit to revolutionary politics. The best we can hope for is that France Unbowed will be the fertile ground from which a new revolutionary movement can grow

Amazon has a service that will print and sell your book automatically, all you have to do is send them a pdf
That's why there are a ton of IA slop books on sale there now
Good work comrade
It's funny how Sachs is only using very liberal arguments, showing that western leadership and media aren't even acting in good faith while blinded by their ideology.
SWCC was concieved with the learning experience from the USSR's failure. One had to fail first so the other would learn from its mistakes.
