I haaaaate raw onion. Love cooked onion tho.
Haitian rev? It opens up avenues to compare and contrast with the French and maybe even American revs, the French doing their bourgeois revolution then immediately turning round and trying to keep the Haitians as slaves and slapping them with “reparations” for successfully freeing themselves.
(Edit: bonus of this is nobody can come back at you calling you a dirty commie or mark you down because you call out the US for teaming up with nazis in Central America or whatever. Nobody is gonna say “umm actually the Haitians should’ve stayed as slaves”)
And not even that, really. He thought it sucked they were fighting each other
17 screenshots of text and never answers or even considers the key question. We all know why China pivoted toward capitalist development, the question is when or if it will ever pivot back.
2nd screenshot:
you can only…. If you already have developed industry
China has a well developed industrial economy. It’s been developing for half a century and has no sign of stopping. How developed does it need to be before you stop doing capitalism? How long will it take?
The first four screens aren’t exactly new information. It’s the justification used by the USSR in enacting the NEP. Y’know, the NEP that lasted less than a decade? China is well into the 4th decade of marketisation and there are no indications that it’s likely to change anytime soon - private ownership and inequality are expanding in China, not contracting.
The second half of the post, sure, I don’t think China is imperialist either (yet?). But the first half of the post is just a lot of words for “we’re building productive forces bro trust us bro we’re doing communism any second now bro” which is an argument we’ve all heard a thousand times.
Imagine tweeting “i I have no empathy” and taking 46 words to do it
Thesis: black flag
Antithesis: red flag

Ehh, I’m kinda partial to the “our flag is red for the blood of our martyred comrades” thing
I’m not an an anarchist but I challenge the premise of the question, I think it’s pretty clear there have been plenty of anarchist groups throughout history “willing to get their hands dirty”. Anarchists aren’t hippies lol.
It’s an infantile disorder tbf
For sure. Also someone else would’ve just invented it
Apparently the inventor of the loudspeaker regretted his invention after seeing the Nazis use it at Nuremberg
I’m by no means a mentally healthy individual myself, but I’m coming around to the idea that current mental health practice is mainly concerned with making sure we all stay productive worker bees under capitalism. Feel alienated? Your brain chemistry is off. Feel like nothing means anything and it’s all pointless? That’s not because of the mode of production, YOU are the problem, time to fix your brain!
I dunno man. Antidepressants saved my life, but I find myself questioning the way our society treats these diseases more and more.

I’m Don Draper in the elevator with that guy, the guy is 196 and I’m saying “I don’t think about you at all”
