    It’s not that long so I read through most of it. Typical annoying Maoist rhetorical strategies and psychologizing about the motivations of previous revolutionaries. The notion that China is an integral part of the capitalist system is frankly obvious and bizarre to deny. The predictions in the text largely haven’t had a chance to mature yet, so that remains to be seen. Military conflicts between Chinese proxies and U.S. proxies hasn’t taken place, and the Chinese allergy to aiding the Russians in Ukraine seems to undermine the idea that Russian and Chinese multipolarity is aligned. They seem to want to cast BRICS under China and NATO under the U.S. as the two imperial powers but I don’t think we’ve seen BRICS and NATO operate in analogous ways yet.
