    BLACK HAMMER has been completely memoryholed, they got a teenager dead and nobody ever mentioned it again

    BLACK HAMMER has been completely memoryholed, they got a teenager dead and nobody ever mentioned it again

    every so often a story appears in the mainstream news which is so absurd if someone didn't specifically remember and archive the page, everyone would forget about it since its purposefully memoryholed

    the black hammer s*** is one of those examples. another example is that "mass shooter camp steamrolled by the FBI" i posted about a few hundred pages ago. stories like that which are utterly absurd and get memoryholed must happen like twice a year or so

    im just curious do you have any opinions on what socialist construction would like in the near future? not just china but really anywhere

    Forgive any bad grammar at the moment but imo

    We have the signs of it with expanding labor movements and awareness around the world that people are using strikes and other things at their disposal to fight back against capitalism

    We also see a lot of information at our fingertips faster than ever and cut down into bite size pieces. Therefore socialist construction would need to make use of propaganda anywhere it can be done

    TL;DR: Socialist construction will occur on every avenue available

    Too much splintering and it’s really hard to dedicate time and labor to the party in the place I am in right now

    there is no way the man who is responsible for giving Aimee Terese a public platform is going to talk about the ethics of giving attention to the mentally ill (jk he's obviously speaking from experience in this article )

    And why is revolution outrageous? The reason I'm not treating support of worker revolution as a basic non statement is because you clearly do not support it. The only legitimate protesters in your eyes are the "law abiding ones", a position as conservative in China as it is in any other country. You are laser focused on counter revolutionary protesters yet completely unconcerned with the counter revolutionaries who've been running the country for the past ~40 years. No, they are "great benefit to the possibility of Communism" according to you.

    Interesting you think China today is comparable to the USSR, but yes if the workers of the USSR revolted against the USSR I would've voiced my support. If workers are revolting against your workers state you should start questioning what kind of state it actually is.

    Are marxists not ruthless criticizers of all that exists? Do you want me to rave about produtivity growth in the Chinese poultry industry instead? I am not unaware any of the developments in China, but Zero Covid is the issue at hand. Sure modern China has better infrastructure, less absolute poverty, more advanced industry, more jobs, etc etc. This can also be said of East Asia and the West during the cold war. Koreans under Park Chung Hee also experienced a net improvement in their living conditions after all. We can all acknowledge the positive effects of Capitalism. But I'm more guided by "Capital: A Critique of Political Economy" than "The Stages of Economic Growth: A Non-Communis4 Manifesto". More Marxist theory than Development Theory. So I can see China's system today is better than it was 100 years ago, yet worse than 40 years ago. Why? There is more inequality, weaker employment protection, worse working conditions, less social benefits, less political power for workers etc. Deng literally did enclosure to the peasantry. They have been, are currently, and will continue to protect CAPITALISM. You yourself admit the Chinese state is capitalist, overseeing a capitalist country. Yet what is your conclusion? "China under the CPC as things are now are a great benefit to the possibility of communism." my god.

    You were calling me an idealist now you're emphasizing the importance of Chinese leaders being "influenced by socialism". And what have they done with these ideas? Built monuments to Mao? It will be a reassuring sight to those evicted by real estate developers. Shanghai's homeless gig workers can sleep easy knowing Xi is teaching Marxist-Leninism in school. It would be idealist, reactionary, bourgeois trotskyism to react in any other way.

    The Communist Party of China since the 1970s been a "great benefit" to capital accumulation. That has been their political project. "As things are now" it isn't a benefit to communism in China or anywhere else for that matter. It is actively an obstacle. Once again, if your response to this is more Liberal Developmentalist rethoric or how Chinese capital accumulation is more progressive than English capital accumulation, then my response is: let us sit inert and watch as Capital builds the forces of production that smoothly progress us into world communism history is on a linear determined path and we can only watch.

    A few countries actually did seem to be progressing towards socialism, but they've done a 180, and you're cheering one of them on. Still I agree, we now live in a time where no country is getting close (china included). Understandably enough maybe this is what has made you lose faith in socialism, but I don't think history has ended.

    thanks for responding it has definitely improved my understanding.

    "China under the CPC as things are now are a great benefit to the possibility of communism."

    Ig the difference to me is the relative potential, although its a tenuous argument that at this point in time is also impossible to definitively argue that a capitalist government with marxist elements will have a higher chance of leading to socialism than any other country spontaneously leading a successful revolution.

    im kind of tired to address the other stuff but thanks

    TL;DR: Socialist construction will occur on every avenue available

    im not sure about the particularities of how political power can develop form protests in other countries, but without the concentrated development of political power and practical work over protests and propaganda work we will be long dead before socialism has its time in the United States

    yes

    i used to be into doing little debates on here as well but i kinda dont care anymore

    its something you cant really move people on here about

    people are set in their convictions, and i do think people have misconceptions generally by refusing to engage with many of the theory and internal critiques written by anarchists that can help answer various thoughts, instead depending on old soviet tropes
