So, to build socialism it is necessary to develop the productive forces. Poverty is not socialism. To uphold socialism, a socialism that is to be superior to capitalism, it is imperative first and foremost to eliminate poverty. True, we are building socialism, but that doesn’t mean that what we have achieved so far is up to the socialist standard. Not until the middle of the next century, when we have reached the level of the moderately developed countries, shall we be able to say that we have really built socialism and to declare convincingly that it is superior to capitalism. We are advancing towards that goal.

The mainland will maintain the socialist system and not turn off onto the wrong road, the road to capitalism. One of the features distinguishing socialism from capitalism is that socialism means common prosperity, not polarization of income. The wealth created belongs first to the state and second to the people; it is therefore impossible for a new bourgeoisie to emerge. The amount that goes to the state will be spent for the benefit of the people, a small portion being used to strengthen national defence and the rest to develop the economy, education and science and to raise the people’s living standards and cultural level. Since the downfall of the Gang of Four an ideological trend has appeared that we call bourgeois liberalization. Its proponents worship the “democracy” and “freedom” of the Western capitalist countries and reject socialism. This cannot be allowed. China must modernize; it must absolutely not liberalize or take the capitalist road, as countries of the West have done. Those proponents of bourgeois liberalization who have violated state law must be dealt with severely.

Then in 1966 came the “cultural revolution”, which lasted a whole decade, a real disaster for China. During that period many veteran cadres suffered persecution, including me. I was labelled the "No. 2 Capitalist Roader" after Liu Shaoqi. Liu was called "commander-in-chief of the bourgeois headquarters" and I "deputy commander-in-chief". Many strange things happened in those days. For instance, people were told that they should be content with poverty and backwardness and that it was better to bePost too long.

>This is true but Deng is a traitor porky.
He was a necessary evil that saved China from the failures of great leap forward and cultural revolution.

More like he saved Chinese porkies from the Cultural revolution

a fundamental principle that applies to the internet as a whole (but unlike imageboards specifically, cannot really be implemented) is that moderation is essential but its function isn't to enforce rules, it's to enforce taste and novelty. since mods eventually lose their touch, there should also be churn in sites.

most of the worst slop on the internet is, sadly, demand-lead. it is not that evil capitalists sit down and think "how can i manipulate people with the worst crap imaginable", it is that some people want the worst crap imaginable and so capitalists (and even people who aren't making a penny and just want attention) act to meet that demand absent any suppressing force. you can draw an analogy to drinking too much coke, i suppose: capitalists didn't put a taste for sugar in people's mouths, they just found people like sugar and catered to that want. similarly, indians didn't create idiot rightism or boomer taste in AI slop, the underlying vulnerability was always there, it's just that pre-internet it was restricted by what media elites could live with themselves (And with other people in their industry) while producing.

i am not sure what the solution to this is, but it spills over into real-world politics with the rise of the extreme right, which is mostly nastly people finally discovering that politics can be fun and meet their worst impulses and desires rather than ignoring it and voting based on whether the economy is getting better or worse.

This.
People always wanna blame social media for all social-personal problems that have been going on long before MySpace was made.
Conservatives like to say “guns don’t kill people, people do.” Yet they turn around accuse video games of influencing a super small minority of deranged young men who go on shooting sprees

My turbo, burn-your-eyebrows-off wokest opinion is that species dysphoria is very real and exactly the same as gender euphoria. I have both and the feeling is identical. Which is fucked because I transitioned and I still don't feel entirely at home in my own skin. If I open my eyes up after I'm dead and I'm not a tiger girl I'm going to immediately assume my ass was sent straight to hell.

>>802611
This. I hate how people use autism as a covenient diagnosis for faux pas, especially in common social spaces.

it's actually the people OP is complaining about who lack curiosity. And that lack of curiosity is not solved by assuming they are correct and trying to rationalize it.

Trve. Titoism kind of works tbh

>>801293
>Titoists
No such thing. Read Tito

>In general it is not correct to speak of Titoism and look upon it as some new tendency. We, Communists in Yugoslavia, are only fighting against revisionism. We have nothing that would correct the science of Marxism and Leninism from a theoretical point of view. We have only applied the science of Marx and Lenin to our specific conditions. There is no new tendency that could be called Titoism. This must be explained to the masses. Otherwise, it would be harmful to the international working class movement, if it were thought that this is some new tendency. A new theory is not needed. It is only necessary that the science of Leninism and Marxism be correctly applied and that the struggle be carried on against the perversion of this theory for momentary purposes, as the Soviet Union is doing in order to achieve the end of its imperialist policy.

communism isnt part of the left/right division of bourgeois politics

>"If you hate A, than you should also hate B because of general principle C"

This is the same mentality behind Graebener and "But Antifas are the reeeaaal fascists"; In this case changing your appearance, and taste in, is actually easier than changing your personality, but that doesn't take away the fact that living with an ugly person that's nice is better than the opposite and I don't care if eugenics is the solution to that

Moreover, unempathy overall has very low heritability, and narcissism is at least mostly due to non-shared enviromental factors.

Don’t you know, that’s “le heckin eugenics and eugenics is le bad!”

Highly agree with both points
I don’t think most “leftists” want communism anyway

>>802555
>communism isnt part of the left/right division of bourgeois politics
Left-right spectrum encompases more than "bourgeois" politics.
