me looking at post Mao china and then reading american dengist tweets and comments

the school burn out part hits hard

last seen on social media as well 😭😭😭

almost did this with a Jean Luc Godard film and just opted for sending her nice shots from it

It's scary how many apply ...

la chinoise?

sent her shots from that but i just watched that yesterday it was gonna be winds from the east at first then i watched it and i’m like no way am i gonna make any non marxist watch this

why are so many reddit communists dengists lmao

is it just a reaction to winnie the pooh posting on there

dengists believe in great man theory

china is communist bro just wait for xi to press the big red button.

China calls itself communist and it's winning in a lot of areas, so you can see how its easy for someone who's left wing but hasn't really read anything

i guess so especially for young zoomers

i remember when china was just the country that used to be communist but not rly anymore in the media, this demonization of china and the propaganda towards with an anticommunist angle wasn't so prevalent just a couple of years ago tbh

If the US did have a parliamentary democracy what are the odds that a labor party would just end up like the Australian Labor Party

i was so confused when everybody suddenly started hating or d***riding chyna for supposedly being communist all of a sudden like mfs werent doing this during the 2010s

US zoomer
Trump trade war against China
Trump bad
Therefore China good

Basically this

max blumenthal brain

yea it's mostly an american thing too i've NOOTICED

they always saying western leftists HATE CHYNA tho lol

and you can see this in the fact that the populist right will complain about inflation and rising cost of living but blame it on a Jewish NWO conspiracy rather than the underlying economic system

well that's true for sure but thats a little bit different of a sect of politics from what im talking about

i more mean if you look at "mainstream" populist right figures, like let's take Saagar Enjeti from Breaking Points (or numerous other people occupying his position), People like him will have these big pundit monologues talking about class, and trying to blow up things like political differences among college educated vs those w/o degrees, middle american d*** crises, differing social views in unions vs their representatives, issues with upper class social discourse vs the isolated lower class, misguided inflation discussions due to the bubble politicians live in, etc.

On the surface, these arguments are not wrong insofar as they're correct that there's a conflict between classes which is largely derivative of class itself. The issue is that they their underlying cares aren't actually about class holistically, it's about class as a proxy for the current alignment of social views. For example, currently, upper bourgeois (mostly) present themselves as being overtly socially liberal in terms of the culture war , whereas this is generally not the case with the lower class (i.e. union coalminer who's family is addicted to opioids flooding the market).

So if you take the oversimplication of rich = liberal, poor = conservative, people like Enjeti focus on class only because of this distinction, they don't focus on class because of actual class conflict itself. This leads to arguments where it sounds like they're focusing on class a***ysis or conflict, but in reality they're just arguing about the culture war but as it exists along class lines
