Mao: “Oppose book worship” (writes greatest book ever)

Deng: “liberalize the economy” (puts socialism on a firmer basis)

Xi: “Complete the reform and opening up” (eliminates absolute poverty, curbs corruption, re-emphasizes Marxism, and strengthens the state sector like a boss)

Chinese leaders’ troll game is on another level.

REFORM REFORM REFORM REFORM!

The western media always brings her up, I notice, in some sort of dehumanizing sexualized way. (You probably remember the disgusting “Kim Yo-Jong step on me” stuff liberals were doing online a few years back). It’s a way to get gooners and idiot racists vaguely interested in supporting US foreign policy.

What we’ve lost most since the airlift, when the US and UK poured into Europe money, information power, and military might for the first time in peacetime, is mojo. We held back Stalin with a remarkable resilience, and one damn great, if not entirely true, story. It’s good we’ve grown more truthful, but not that we’ve lost fighting spirit.

This becomes funnier if you imagine it said by some 80-year-old guy in overalls, sitting in his rocking chair and chewing a straw.

For lack of a better word, yes

Don’t take this the wrong way, but you could have a brilliant career as a ghostwriter to some US politician.

MSS head Chen Yixin here – we’re honestly kind of surprised it worked. Either this Gordon G. Chang guy is a disinformation genius, or Americans are just a whole lot dumber than we thought.

Cyberbullying with Chinese characteristics

At this point I’m convinced that a whole lot of the people defending the sex industry online – those who aren’t, as you indicated, feds – are sweaty dudes sitting in their bedroom, and deciding to pen a manifesto in between rounds 2 and 300 of jerking it to violent porn. Call it the immortal science of Marxism-Leninism-Epsteinism.

Add some quote by Nietzsche gotten off wikipedia, and we have Twitter Fascist Bingo. (They always ignore the fact that Nietzsche openly said that when races combine, great civilizations result – Spain, for instance, which he admired much more than Germany).

That I’ve actually heard people say “I became a fascist when I realized communism failed everywhere it’s been tried” never ceases to astound me.

That makes sense, unfortunately. Most people are not deep thinkers – nor should they be – and explaining to the oppressed a world beyond imperialism is like explaining the real world to the shadow-watchers in Plato’s cave.

Somebody I don’t otherwise admire said that the what makes communists different from philosophers is this: while the philosopher returns to the cave to tell people about the ideal world of forms he saw, the communist returns to the cave to smash the puppets casting the shadows, beat down the puppeteers, and drag people kicking and screaming into the sunlight.

Somebody said on here once that “by any real metric, Stalin was the most successful Polish nationalist of all time,” and it’s true.

All is in chaos on heaven and earth.

But have you considered that the sex trade is BASED and REDPILLED, and the mafia is MACHO and AWESOME?

Seriously, though, I really do not understand this Slavic neo-nazi phenomenon. It’s like an African-American man joining the KKK.

Germany did the same thing, they just were a more powerful country, and had a *little *more of a buffer for their dumb decisions. Fire your most competent minister, let the non-aggression treaty with Russia lapse, and antagonize the British Empire by building a navy you don’t need is certainly a speedrun.

“Here’s Dialectics!”

I’ve made headway simply by being non-apologetic. “The DPR Korea is a nation which forges its own path. They do not interfere in the affairs of other nations, nor do they let any other nation interfere with them. They do not let America or anybody else dictate to them their past, their present, or their future. As a democratic citizen, you are free not to like the path the Koreans have chosen, but it is a strong as well as a difficult one, and nobody asked you to walk it. Your main obligation toward the Korean people right now is to ensure your government minds its own business.” People seem to respect that.

Weird how we are just now entering a kind of 1950s sci-fi level of battlefield tech.
