    Agreed. I’m not saying that “collapse is imminent is accurate”, but don’t act like these are mutually exclusive when the idiom “a candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long” is accurate (to itself - literally the candle).

      Yeah. Anyway what’s with the weird fixation this website has for china? The whole frontage is constantly spammed with memes praising the CCP.

        Lemmy is developed by Marxist-Leninists, so there are a bunch of us Marxist-Leninists and other forms of anticapitalists here. MLs generally uphold the CPC and PRC as legitimate Socialism and a positive, progressive force.

          Makes sense, thanks for the context. I wouldn’t exactly argue that the current Chinese administration has a lot in common with MLs ideas but let’s not open that can of worms. :)

            We don’t have to open it if you don’t want to, but if you change your mind, I have a bunch of resources I can offer and explanations for what you think may not connect.

              Well I don’t have the time right now to get into a lengthy discussion (which this would require to do it justice), but if you don’t mind you can post the resources and I’ll check them out in a bit!

                Without knowing your specific critiques, I’ll point you to this comment I’ve made regarding the CPC’s strategy, as well as this introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list I made, and this Socialism with Chinese Characteristics Study Guide by Qiao Collective.
