He will have to cope with marx and engels talking about more productive systems own lesser productive ones, their repetition of the need for development and how impossible to create socialism from the straight up go.
China may be revisionist but not as much as libsoc's believe.

He originally got his audience from CS majors who needed Nick Land dumbed down and reformatted into blog posts. Then Thiel picked him up and his network started pretending he was some sage philosopher. No one outside this bubble takes him seriously.

>Deng Xiaoping: According to Marxism, communist society is based on material abundance. Only when there is material abundance can the principle of a communist society — that is, “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” — be applied. Socialism is the first stage of communism. Of course, it covers a very long historical period. The main task in the socialist stage is to develop the productive forces, keep increasing the material wealth of society, steadily improve the life of the people and create material conditions for the advent of a communist society.

So, ignore the public opinion polls which consistently show that the pro-independence position is only supported by ~2 or 3% of the Ryukyuan population. Instead, just trust an American grifter pandering to braindead Chinese nationalists.
If this dude really was some representative of the Okinawan people and movement, why would all of his posts online be in Chinese or English??? Why does he never make propaganda in Japanese or even Okinawan if those are the people most relevant to his struggle? Why would he stress over and over how great independence would be for China, how it would recognize the Diaoyu Dao as Chinese??? This dude is so obviously just trying to appeal to jingoistic Chinese for money and the fact that anyone takes him seriously is an embarrassment.
Ryukyuans protest US military bases constantly (which are there because it's close to Taiwan by the way, obviously) but somehow Chinese looking for validation in their dreams of re-establishing their vassal Kingdom have to rely on this American instead. I wonder why that might be!

>>2561895
I doubt the majority of residents want independence anymore, as there has likely been an influx of colonists from the rest of Japan over the 100 years or so since its annexation - native residents are probably a minority now.

>>2561960
Yeah, from the population estimates I found online(Japan doesn't recognize Ryukyuans as a separate ethnic group) the majority of Okinawa's population is still Luchu people but they've been annexed for 100+ years and have gone through the corresponding assimilation so I doubt they want independence anymore. It's like convincing Northern Ireland to secede from Britain, except Northern Ireland would have been forcibly assimilated even harder considering what the Japanese government was like in the early 20th century.

>>2562057
Going to correct this as ethnicity-wise they are actually still the majority(based on estimates)

Chinese tech isn't locked down, the proletariat can re-configure the software and modify the hardware by adding or removing their own parts to fit their material conditions. AppleTV degenerates are literally regressed into pre-modern neofeudal serfs who think technology is magic that only the priest class can control. Neoliberals would literally be afraid and shocked if you opened up their phone case lol

China makes tech for adult humans, they don't sell glossy, frictionless baby products for domesticated cattle who can't legally repair their own stuff.

>Bitcoin price fell sharply today, sliding from an intraday high of $104,000 to $94,480, wiping out earlier gains and marking a decisive breakdown in price action. Twelve hours ago, the Bitcoin price hit above $100,000 and then consistently bled down from the upper $101,000s to lows of $94,480. Ethereum dropped below $3,100 at times and crypto stocks like Coinbase ($COIN) and Strategy ($MSTR) are trading in the red in pre-market trading. Also, the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index has plunged to a new “Extreme Fear” low, signaling deep market anxiety even as long-term holders stay the course.



 

Kashmir is focus of arrests after Delhi car blast linked to ‘terror module’
Seven people were arrested as a result of the inquiries, including two Kashmiri doctors working in other Indian states. During a raid of one of the doctors’ homes in the city of Faridabad, in Haryana state, police said they had uncovered 2,900kg of explosive materials as well as chemicals, detonators and assault rifles, which they now believe were being readied for a multi-target attack.

New rulers, old killers: Bangladesh extrajudicial deaths mount under Yunus
The report categorises 19 victims as shot dead in “crossfire” or “encounters”, 14 as killed under torture and seven as beaten to death in custody. These deaths bear what human rights activists said are hallmarks of impunity: arrests without warrants, denial of due process and an absence of credible investigation.

New Age Verification Bills Could Ban VPNs, Jeopardize the Privacy of Millions
In Wisconsin, Senate Bill 130 proposes that sites use “reasonable age verification methods” and requires the publishers and distributors of “material harmful to minors” to prevent access from known VPN IP addresses. Under the bill, entities in violation of the law would be subject to civil penalties. In Michigan, House Bill 4938 takes it a step further and proposes an all-out ban on VPNs entirely. The lawmakers in support of the bill, called the Anticorruption of Public Morals Act, want internet service providers in the state to “actively monitor and block known circumvention tools.” The bill prohibits “the promotion or sale of circumvention tools to access prohibited material.” Violators would be subject to civil and criminal penalties of up to 25 years in prison and fines of up to $500,000 under the proposed legislation.

The immigration debate in Quebec explained
The immigration debate regularly makes headlines in Quebec. The Parti Québécois, which leads the polls, has made immigration one of its main campaign issues. They promise to reduce immigration to relieve pressure on public services, tackle the housing crisis, and slow the decline of the French language. The CAQ has historically made a lot of noise about this issue. But it now finds itself between a rock and a hard place, having presided over a significant increase in immigration despite its promise to “take in fewer but take care of them.” Even the Quebec Liberal Party claims that Quebec’s “integration capacity” has been exceeded. What should be the communist position on this issue?

The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir: Conclusion
‘NO, WOMAN is not our brother; through indolence and deceit we have made of her a being apart, unknown, having no weapon other than her sex, which not only means constant warfare but unfair warfare – adoring or hating, but never a straight friend, a being in a legion with esprit de corps and freemasonry – the defiant gestures of the eternal little slave.’
Many men would still subscribe to these words of Laforgue; many think that there will always be ‘strife and dispute’, as Montaigne put it, and that fraternity will never be possible. The fact is that today neither men nor women are satisfied with each other. But the question is to know whether there is an original curse that condemns them to rend each other or whether the conflicts in which they are opposed merely mark a transitional moment in human history. Legends notwithstanding, no physiological destiny imposes an eternal hostility upon Male and Female as such; even the famous praying mantis devours her male only for want of other food and for the good of the species: it is to this, the specPost too long.
