  • That makes sense, however wouldn’t that simply be a form of class supremacy? Eugenics as a concept includes the practice of culling those groups deemed inferior and undeserving of propagation, which is why I’m saying that I’m not sure that that’s the proper word in this situation. That’s why racialized violence racial against minority populations is seen as ideological racial supremacy, yet isn’t classified as eugenics unless additional measures such as sterilization, forced abortion, child separation, genocide, or other culling measures are used to whittle down the target population, as was seen in the United States with Black populations, and Nazi Germany with Jewish and disabled populations.

    Sorry for the questions, this is a very pedantic line of inquiry over the application of a single word. I understand what you were trying to get across in your original message.




  • I know that “Just like le consumer franchise!” is a massive liberal meme, but this is essentially just the Imperial line of thought in Warhammer. If you’re spouting the same rhetoric as a satirically Uber fascist ethnostate, especially as a leftist, then you’ve officially lost the plot.












  • I’m a little confused by what you mean by the “old way”. There is no old way, digital infrastructure is constantly evolving as are threat actors, you can’t use older products and expect them to work nor is there even an older way oftentimes. The national security risk also isn’t for nuclear weapons or CPC internal communiques, it’s for hospitals, smaller firms, individual websites, and so on. Technically anything can be classified as “national security”.

    If by old you mean analog? Then that’s not feasible, an analog system would be insanely impractical and cost ineffective. You can’t run a digital economy on an analog system.

    China also needed to parlay with foreign firms for sales, development, and so on, they couldn’t just say “Hey wait, we don’t have any digital infrastructure”.


  • While relying on foreign tech is a massive risk, for a developing China lacking the firms to produce home-grown software and tech products, using foreign made products was essentially the only choice. China couldn’t just reject foreign products if they possessed no viable alternative.

    Now that the infrastructure and technical base to produce Chinese software is in place, the reliance is moot and can be done away with.

    This is also meant more for businesses, smaller firms, and lower level bureaucratic apparati, as I have no doubt that the Chinese military, political apparati, and other institutions, made the change long ago, while Joe-Schmo app developer or Xi-Biao small tech firm owner went with whatever option was readily available or cheaper.



  • True, but there isn’t much of a society left. Productive forces don’t really exist beyond artisanal and sustenance production, and neither does organized or capitalist modes of production. There isn’t anything to really organize, let alone lead.

    They live in commune societies where the collective own the means of production, reject money, they attempt to elevate tribal groups through education, they’re anti-fascist and only maintain a tenuous relationship with the liberal NCR, and attempt to recruit through their outreach.

    Society tetters between tribal and early feudal at best, and even then barely. What is a socialist to do in a “society” like that? Volunteer outreach is all that’s left, not like there’s much to do a “revolution” against.
