    This was certainly something. Many points were just horrible, but there was a sprinkle of good positions.

    My takeaway was they seek to be connected with both west and east, which probably means connecting to the BRI. Improvements to employment (full employment?) and cost of living are also on the table. They recognize that America, and the west more generally is on the decline and that there is effectively no leadership in that space.

    The far right wing screed against LGBTQ and immigration was really horrible to read. Just goes to show that the western culture of hate is alive and well. I’m sure there was more horrible stuff that they said, but I only skimmed the majority of the headings after I got through the first fee sections.

    The fact that they are centering companies in their plan seems like a bad idea unless they plan to nationalize key industry (doubt). Maybe someone more well read could speak more to their actual plan here. We know that capital generally will reject full employment unless it is forced to do so. So they have contradictory goals. That being said, contradiction can obviously be managed if it is understood and there is sufficient power/will to do so.

    I started to listen to it like 2 days ago, I got to the point where he talked about how back then they couldn’t fucking grip Lenin was talking about (tought to them, regarding how the state before disappears, it get’s stronger) and now they don’t understand Brussels. I got so angry, I turned it off.

      it’s a bewildering mix of more or less competent geopolitical analysis and completely batshit fascist brainworms. get me off this wild ride.
