You forgot to apply the Horseshoe Theorem.

Their definition of fascism is quite literally “when government does stuff”

In fact, such landlords existed and Mao (and others like Xi Zhongxun) defended them against the more, ahem, “leftist” elements in the Party.

How about we stop changing the leader of the country every four years based on a reality show popularity contest with pre-approved candidates sponsored by the oligarchs.

Hint: they can determine who is responsible.

Who do you think “installed” the Iranian government?

Thank you for posting this. I lost interest in GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic and other atheist youtubers years ago when I started seriously getting into the whole communism thing and I gotta say, he indeed got way more based over the years. Finally an atheist/skeptic community I can get behind.

Piers Morgan being on the “no hit” list is the only surprising thing about this email.

As you say, they didn’t care about blowing up the “hostages”, the issue was they had to manage the annoying demonstrations by their relatives who were making relatively a lot of noise. Now, there won’t be any “Israelis” demanding ceasefire anymore.

Yes.

China is obvious, but our US comrades need to realize they wanna do the same with the US also. You are not safe in the imperial core. Those times have ended.

Yeah, great essay.

Keep coping that, however bad you have it your country, China must be worse, so it’s fine that you and your fellow citizens won’t do anything about the deteriorating conditions.

Classic western resistance: “people taking hopeful actions that go against the grain.”

Who needs actually achieving environmental goals, it’s the purity that matters.

All labor unions must belong to the state-sanctioned All-China Federation of Trade Unions. Independent strikes and labor organizing are illegal and strictly suppressed. There are strong anti-union sentiments in the US, but independent unionizing is still very much legally permitted.

Westerners can stay mad forever that China won’t allow CIA and NED to set up “independent” “labor unions”.

Not OP, but I highly recommend the “Primitive Accumulation” mini-series (Part 1: The collapse of Feudalism and Part 2: The Great European Witch Hunts)

Ah the British colonizer disease of transcribing long/open vowels with r. That’s also how you get the Korean name Park, which in reality is more like Paak.

Call me skeptical, but back in Trump 1 times EU was very loud about a need for “independent alternative financial transaction system” too. They even created it, performed 1 (one) transaction and then quietly shut it down after a year.
