I very well might've said the same things about Bo Xilai in some alternate timeline, if Bo Xilai was moving the same way Xi Jinping is now. That being said, this is a dumb and pointless unfalsifiable hypothetical. I can't genuinely say I wouldn't be saying the same things any more than you can say I would be.

This isn't about the individuals in power. My issue isn't with Xi Jinping as an individual, it's with what's being done during his administration, and any reference to him is principally to note the time certain changes are taking place in. Whether Xi or Bo came to power means just about as much to my view of present China as whether Hendrik Verwoerd or John Vorster being president of South Africa affects my view of apartheid.

>Under Xi, and especially after COVID, further liberalization has occurred and the policies of the 90s intensified.
Objectively untrue. I don't even need to read the rest you're already wrong 1 sentence in.

Wang immediately fled to the US embassy. This is not the behaviour of a principled communist and casts huge doubt on Bo especially because Bo's immediate family was heavily linked to Western capital (his wife was intimately in relations with a British MI6 agent).

Anon your thinking of this as if it’s generations continuously having that many kids and not one generation having a declining number of children before the one coming after goes completely childless in terms of child rearing numbers. If you want a perfect example of this look at South Korea.

Eh but not off. I don’t believe humanity will even reach 9 billion, I don’t believe Africa and SEA alone can carry human growth for much longer, much less till the end of the century. We’re gonna have a crash, fast, it’s obviously not gonna happen this year or even this decade, but it’s definitely not gonna be till 2050 before the cracks in the current state of humanities overall growth start becoming pores. It’s for the best anyways, it’s not necessarily that the planet can’t support more people, it’s that capitalism definitely can’t and neither can most world leaders, more people is gonna be a headache for everyone to put up with and there’s some level of hope knowing more are responsible enough to disregard families and relationships to fix their own lives first and understand why they want families before taking on such a massive responsibility.

I agree but I don't have much more to add to it

>Materialist Explanation
>Is tribalism and in-group preference / dislike of outsiders
Tribalism and in-group preference / dislike of outsiders is not Racism. Racism is a psuedo "scientific" theory. The material explanation for racism is capitalism. Racism was invented whole cloth by bourgeois scientists to justify imperialist and colonial exploitation. Imperialism colonialism and scientific racism are predicated on industrialization and the enlightenment. There was no such thing as racism in history before that. Racism is the systematic classification of people into groups based on empirical observation and the social legal and economic organization that arise from that. It couldn't exist without the scientific revolution first. Not liking outsiders is prejudice, not racism. Individuals being mean to other people based on how they look also isn't really racism in the sense that it is a symptom of systematic discrimination and not the cause. Thats what "racism is prejudice plus power" and "you can't be racist to white people" means.

>>1661235
Seconding this. My take on racism being ingrained into capitalism is that the "master" race can have a justification to exploit "lower" races so as to benefit the former. All comes down to extra profits, I guess

this blackout of gaza is so fucking depressing imagine not being able to escape a fucking genocidal war and no one will ever even know what is happening because outboard communication has been severed by your fascist oppressors

Teachers kick off strike in Portland, Oregon, over class sizes, pay and resources
Teachers in Portland, Oregon, walked off the job on Wednesday for the first day of a strike that shuttered schools for some 45,000 students in Oregon's largest city. Concerns over large class sizes, salaries that haven't kept up with inflation and a lack of resources prompted the strike, one of the latest signs of a growing organized labor movement in the U.S. that's seen thousands of workers in various sectors take to the picket lines this year.

Bandcamp union files unfair labour practice claim against Songtradr and Epic Games
Bandcamp United, the union established in May to represent employees of the digital record store, has filed an unfair labour practice claim against Songtradr and Epic Games. The union claims that both companies violated the 1935 National Relations Act (NLRA) through unfair labor practices. The NLRA protects the fundamental right of private-sector employees to seek better working conditions and designation of representation without fear of retaliation.

Louisiana was open to Cancer Alley concessions. Then EPA dropped its investigation
A draft agreement obtained by The Associated Press shows that Louisiana health officials were open to stronger oversight, including looking at how new industrial plants could harm Black residents. But the federal government dropped its investigation in June before it got any firm commitments from Louisiana. Advocates said it was a missed opportunity to improve the lives of people who live near refineries and chemical plants in an industrial stretch of the state commonly called “Cancer Alley.”

Gaza: The land offensive begins – but what next?
In this historical conflict, it is the Palestinian people that have been deprived of a homeland, and who have been fighting back, as more and more of their land has been taken away from them. Today, the Palestinian people are being reminded of the Nakba like never before. And the Zionist ruling class is not even hiding the fact that it supports the colonisation of the West Bank, in particular.They were proceeding with this policy before 7 October, and they are now ramping it up even further, with more than 700,000 Jewish settlers living in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights (occupied Syrian territory). That is what this war is about: the Palestinian people have been murdered, harassed, kicked off their land, and, in Gaza, driven to desperation and enclosed in a giant open air prison. Communists must explain all this. We must use all our forces, all our energy, and the limited means at our disposal, to counter the barrage of propaganda of the capitalist class everywhere. It is not enough to counter this propaganda. Just as it is not enough to call for a ceasefire, which in any case the Israelis and their imperialist backers have no intention of granting, much less a ‘humanitarian pause’. This demand, which the treacherous reformists and a section of the imperialists call for, just means permitting a trickle of aid into Gaza, after which the butchery is to continue. We, as communists, are not fighting for a return to the very situation that led to the present destruction of Gaza and the killing of thousands.

Biden’s Conspiracy Theory About Gaza Casualty Numbers Unravels Upon Inspection
President Joe Biden, asked last week what his government planned to do to reduce the number of civilian casualties in Gaza, responded by rejecting the idea that the numbers could be trusted. “I have no notion if Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed,” Biden said on Wednesday. “I’m sure innocents have been killed and it is the price of waging war,” he added. “But I have no confidence in the number that Palestinians are using.” A new analysis by The Intercept provides evidence refuting that claim.

The workers as a class - or the bourgeois for that matter - are not found to any particular doctrine or ideology. There were workers who supplicated to capitalism, and workers who had many ideas divergent from Marxism or socialism broadly, and a lot of workers who didn't give a shit or had ideas from cloudcuckooland.

It's hard to see that now because we live in total societies where you really aren't allowed to have any idea of your own or independent thought, without being policed or silenced. Only in silence can independent thought exist, until that too is snuffed out.

Engels here basically means that communism as an idea is the ploretariats reaction to the mode of production they are mostly under in, that being capitalism.

no problem comrade, though keep in mind that not everyone here knows exactly what they are talking about. So take it with a grain of salt.

You should read the magazine The Idler the magazine if you ever get the chance too. Pretty interesting you would probably like.

>>1659716
No it translates to “sublate”, which means to dialectically evolve by building on what is useful and modifying that which isn’t. Marx never once advocated the “abolition” of anything, as the very act of abolition, the blind and sweeping negation of a thing, violates dialectics on a fundamental level

MASTURBATING AND SHITTING YOURSELF WILL NOT BRING A REVOLUTION FROM NOTHING
YOUR POLITICS ARE BASED ON AESTHETIC AND VIBES

TOTAL. ANARKKKID. DEATH.

I shall continue idling in my armchair reading theory like Marx while wagies ITT seethe. I will write my novels, short stories, and poetry. I will translate avant-garde writers. You will continue hiding your inferiority of simply being a lame officecel through hatred of idlers.

Well he develops why communism is about the abolition of class society, labor, state, present state of things etc. It's not blind or sweeping.

Detroit Carmakers’ Labor Bill Is Surging and They’re OK With It
Early indications suggest that gains won by the union’s 146,000 members will not be as much of a blow to Ford Motor Co., Chrysler-parent Stellantis NV and General Motors Co. as early rhetoric suggested. While the agreement’s 25% wage increase, restoration of cost-of-living allowances and other benefits will add $850 to $900 to the cost of every car Ford builds, and shave 60-to-70 basis points from its margins, the company said it expects to find efficiencies to offset the higher labor costs. GM and Stellantis will likely do the same.

US House Republicans unveil bill to fund Israel by cutting IRS budget
U.S. House of Representatives Republicans on Monday introduced a plan to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel by cutting funding for the Internal Revenue Service, setting up a showdown with Democrats who control the Senate. In one of the first major policy actions under new House Speaker Mike Johnson, House Republicans unveiled a standalone supplemental spending bill only for Israel, despite Democratic President Joe Biden's request for a $106 billion package that would include aid for Israel, Ukraine and boPost too long.

A full Orgreave inquiry is still crucial
HALLOWEEN for the striking miners brutalised by police at Orgreave and throughout the 1984-5 miners’ strike is a grim reminder to them, the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign (OTJC) and all of us, of justice delayed and justice denied. On October 31 2016, after previously tricking us into believing that an Orgreave inquiry was likely, Amber Rudd, then-Tory home secretary, ruled out any kind of investigation into the police riot of June 18 1984. Seven years on from this decision and almost 40 years since the strike, we continue our essential campaign to keep up the political pressure for a full and authoritative inquiry into government involvement and state-sanctioned brutality at Orgreave.

CP of Greece, On the military conflict between Israel and Palestine and the developments in the region
Israel’s ground offensive on the Gaza Strip will trigger a general conflagration in the region, and more generally, on a global scale. This issue was rightly addressed by the recent plenary meeting of the CC of the KKE. The CC reaffirmed the public positions of the Party, as they were reflected in press releases of the Press Office, in the interventions of its MPs in the Greek and the European Parliaments, as well as its actions in the mass movement.
