  • It’s fascinating to see—in real time—the contradiction between imperialist interests (NATO pushing Ukraine into a proxy war) and finance capital interests (ensuring Western powers maintain financial hegemony) work itself out.

    Do the powers that be care more about maintaining forever war, thus bankrolling the MIC indefinitely, or ensuring USD hegemony? This article, as well as the trend of BRICS strengthening, seem to imply the former is more important to the global capitalist class.





















  • Update: watched it with my gf (who hasn’t read the book). We both liked it.

    It skips over the Cultural Revolution opening pretty much entirely and goes right into Wang’s perspective, then ends a little after his first meeting with the military. Subs are solid (a lot of dialogue is directly lifted from the book!) but go a little fast. Looking forward to watching the rest of it.
