>>2588412>so is china's interpretation of abolishing the state making the state all encompassing in the sense that any chinese born is a member of CCP and therefore anyone is a communist, but no one is if everyone is a commie?no, they don't even claim to have achieve communism. neither did the USSR. communism is more of a world-historical stage, not something that can be fully realized in one country. productive forces need to be mature enough for it, probably some hyper advance ai/automation future where human labor becomes unnecessary. china's current m.o. is to rapidly advance the productive forces; keep the dotp stable since there is a superpower breathing down its neck; build up the material base necessary for a mature socialism, that is, the dialectical horizons of china 2035 and china 2049. each five year plans also function as steps to those milestones, ie the past two five year plans have been focused on modernizing the rural areas like building out the critical infrastructure for it.

>>2589228Yeah this is why democracy is retarded, you either get two party system like in America or this with a multiparty system where only 30% of the voters support the party that wins even though they got the most votes.
Le china is in le phase D of le capitalism as described by le Engels in le Anti-Duhring.

>>2588781how did ng chau-pei win less seats than lo wai-kwok when he had over 5 times the popular vote? is hk gerrymandered?
>>2589376Bourgeois politicking boils down to parties protecting capitalists' interests, obviously, and this means shielding the "HQ of capitalism" - meaning the party that represents capitalists' best interests - from scrutiny. In HK case, moderates are protecting radical neolibs and giving up seats to them in backroom deals. Dunno about HK trade unions, but it seems like they are also in on the scheme, as they are the ones who get the most gerry mandered, and without complaints or acting against this disgusting situation.
>>2589398>>2589376In other words, the most reactionary pro-capitalist party gets unelected seats, which are protected against people's votes. If seats were proportional, socdems/trade unions, which are more voted for, would have had more seats, and thus people would be able to pressure them to change pro-capitalist laws, while unelected gerry mandered neolibs right now can in coalition with merely a fraction of moderates block any attempt to change laws - and moderates and socdems get plausible deniability while letting this happen, "it's not us who are reactionary and anti-people, it's this mal-elected group of people spoiling all the democratic process"
2047 cannot come soon enough
China is capitalist though.

>you either get two party system like in America or this with a multiparty system where only 30% of the voters support the party that wins even though they got the most votes.not if you have 1-party system (like China) or 0-party system
>>2589426>not if you have 1-party system (like China)China has multiple parties, though. It's just that other parties are irrelevant clowns
>Iranians want their own Deng Xiaoping, writes Vali Nasr
>There is a growing chorus arguing that Iran’s nuclear doctrine has been wrong all along and must now change. Since 2003 Iran has been open about its pursuit of a nuclear programme while also disavowing nuclear weapons. Khamenei even issued a religious fatwa banning them. Iran engaged in negotiations and collaborated with the un nuclear watchdog, but the West was never convinced that Iran’s aims were peaceful. Iran expected its expanding nuclear programme to force America to discuss lifting sanctions. But nuclear leverage only unnerved the West and led to more sanctions. The billions that Iran has invested in the programme have not produced economic dividends; instead the costs to the country of its nuclear ambitions have steadily mounted.
>Foreign-policy hawks, along with many moderates, argue that Iran must now do what it should have done from the outset: build nuclear weapons in secret following the examples of India, Israel, North Korea and Pakistan. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s grandson, Hassan Khomeini, a popular and influential moderate voice, argues that only nuclear weapons will address Iran’s deterrence needs. Senior clerics in Qom, too, are calling on Khamenei to change his fatwa against nuclear weapons. Fearful of another war and angry at the humiliation Iran has suffered, ordinary Iranians, including many among the ranks of freedom-loving opposition, also favour this approach.https://archive.ph/157kM >>2589439>irrelevant clownsActually, I like the story of the Left-Kuomintang.
>>2589442how is that analogous to Deng? China had nukes before Deng. Not that I have any problem with Deng, I just don't see the connection.

Is learning Mandarin worth it if I'm interested in Chinese politics, or do all the important happenings get translated to English?
>>2590234If you want to get into the finicky detailed conversations by Chinese Marxist academics and Party news, sure.
>>2590245I may just be autistic enough for this to interest me. Of course, it'll take several years to learn Mandarin to a high enough level to read anything substantive, but I think I'm up for the challenge.
