I would also look at: (1) Torkil Lauesen’s (a swedish marxist) book: The Long Transition Towards Socialism and the End of Capitalism (2) Kyle Ferrana’s Why the World Needs China
It is not just the West. India is an excellent example of failure at attempts of social democracy.
Inherent to social democracy is that there is no significant dictatorship against capital and therefore any progression in achieving a good standard of living will either not happen or if it does happen will require surplus value extracted elsewhere to slow down the reduction in the rate of profit. And to protect itself capital will resort to fascism.
Despite the above there is sort of an exception to the above in our timelime and it started after the October Revolution and started getting significantly slowed down/reversed around the time of the fall of the Soviet Union; it is effectively what we consider why the West is “developed” (mainly the threat of domestic worker revolutions and to invest in “human capital” to faster climb the tech ladder due to USSR accelerated development in attempts again to maintain profit):
Even if it has been debunked…
It is at this point, if you had any sincerity as a human being at this stage in your development, would have been to stop and have some introspection into how you got it wrong. You instead doubled down because you already have decided who should be considered less than human.
And think about your scale of morality here; you consider assholery in calling out your racism not your defense of genocide. If you ask those who fight against their own ethnic cleansing not to fight and buy into the narratives of those commiting the genocide then you are the on the side of the world that represents mass cultural sociopathy and exploitation.
I care not for the uniform but the content; it is why I do not consider “Western Marxists” of various stripes, locations and ethnicities as communists.
Zionism is deeply antisemitic against jewish peoples too; for Zionists the only valid Jew is the fascist one and thereby carries out one of the axioms of western imperialism - the only truly valid “minority” is the fascist one (see for example, the erasure of communist ukrainians for fascist ones, communist Indonesians for fascist ones, and same for other East Europeans, South Americans etc)
Book recommendation - Stalin: The History and Critique of a Black Legend by Domenico Losurdo.
For them, the only relevance in the 21st century worth fighting for is upholding the broken pretense of civility that is the barbarism and backwardness of the West.
The only “communists” that could be dragged into that void of murder are vibes-based, with the actual scientific socialists these liberals stutter and tremble before which is why they need to imprison and execute them the world over.
He was racist scum and a fascist/imperialist sympathiser. In many ways he is one of the progenitors of the acceptable limits of anti-establishmentism in the so-called modern left of the West.
Implicit in their definition of white is the subjugation of the other, and therefore equality is perceived painful; the reduction of the exploitation of the other becomes a loss of a privilege and material benefits to the self, and this is true - the bourgoisie are class conscious.
This article is hilarious. I am not even sure who the target audience is meant to be -sinophobic liberals who know what dialectical materialism is? That seems very niche. Maybe it doesn’t have to make sense, maybe they were going for a word-salad vibes-based character-assassination.
Also the “shrodinger-style” attack; apparently Xi is both a very smart CPC president and also not able to explain dialectical materialism. Obviously no citations or proof offered for any of the allegations including the attacks of his higher education credentials.
The imperialist intelligensia must be getting more and more desperate as the contradictions of their parasitic economies draws on evermore deepening crises.
Addendum - I just saw someone else make a similar comment before me. I’ll just leave it here rather than deleting this.
It’s only not a problem for those who are soley affected “by looking up”. This is the privilege of those who benefit from Western Hegemon.
