Thank you. I'll try to fix it.

@@TaimurRahman-English I do appreciate your valor and courage to make the world in large perspective and the daily issues in society in local format,easier to grasp and digest!❗️💗✊🙏👏

@@mollyklein6355 You seem very angry-and it looks like you’ve already made up your mind: “Poor Palestine, China bad, and only the most perfect (idealistic and nonexistent) form of socialism is acceptable-unless, of course, you’re an obvious victim of greater powers.” Marx recognized that capitalism’s historical role was to develop the productive forces, making socialism possible. That’s why he believed socialism would first emerge in the _advanced_ capitalist countries. But he was wrong. The working classes in the West/North benefited too much from their ruling classes’ imperialist super-profits and weren’t revolutionary enough. Instead, socialist revolutions primarily took place in _less_ advanced capitalist countries, where rapid development of productive forces was necessary to catch up with the imperialist rulers of the world. China has done exactly that-using what you might call “controlled” or “regulated capitalism”, where capitalists are allowed to contribute to economic growth, but their political influence remains tightly restricted. This enables China to develop productive forces at an incredible pace while regulating the market to prevent monopolies that stifle competition and innovation. I commend your support for Palestine. But supporting Palestine without understanding the broader global situation-or without backing the real counterpowers to the existing US-led unipolar order-ultimately means _not_ supporting Palestine at all. In fact, in practice, it even works _against_ the interests of the Palestinian people. Struggle hard-but also struggle smart. We’ve all been misled by the dominant narratives, and as Mao put it, re-educating oneself is a long process of “washing the brain anew.”

@@jorgi6335 Ironically, Marx was right. Socialism can only happen in the most advanced societies. REVOULUTION can only happen where the chains of imperialism are weakest. which is NOT in advanced countries. Which means that revolution occurs in the places least suited to socialism.

So, you're an idiot then?

Because he did not say that or even imply it. That's something happening in your head.

Hey, why lying? They f*ckin united the whole Palestinian resistance movement … with all its fractions! Are you only consuming CNN or are you just surrounded by student-radical Trotskyist or Maoist ultra-leftist left-communists? Why??

They united all the fractions of the resistance movement. Period.

No such thing. The tried to force obedience to the imperial-zionist henchmen PA, whom they also sponsor, and they failed.

Opportunists came to power (Gorbachev et al.).

History will be the judge.

100% disagree. According to Marx and Engels "socialism" means: 1) a Party that firstly represents the working class runs the State; 2) advanced public sector and State control of the economy. In China both of these conditions are real! 60% of its capitalization comes from State owned enterprises, Five Year Plans, big Welfare... China is socialist by the definitions of The Manifesto!

So, when they talk about how shitty western Marxism is, and how elitist and purist, they meant YOU.

For you, the people of Palestine are the ‘perfect victims’-those you can pity, shout about in front of an angry crowd, and chant slogans like ‘This is wrong! Enough is enough! Down with imperialism, hey hey! Down with imperialism, ho ho!’ before patting yourself on the back, satisfied that you’ve done your duty ‘for humanity’ for the day. But if you _truly_ support the Palestinian people, that support must extend to _actual_ anti-hegemonic forces in our existing imperialist world system. If the Palestinians ever had the chance to develop real, significant power-enough to threaten the dominance of imperialist proxies and puppets in the region-I strongly suspect that, like so many other ‘Western Marxists,’ you would condemn them. You would likely brand them an ‘authoritarian regime,’ an ‘anti-human theocracy,’ or some other pejorative label fed to us by our oh-so-free press.

On the contrary Palestinians are in the sights of tbe empire because the transnat overlords including in China believe they and the resistance allies (hezbollah, ansarullah in yemen, their Syrian state support the global rc just annihilated) pose/d the last obstacles to total reconquest and renslavement of that region. China is also putting the screws on Venezuela and Cuba in partnershop with the US, the last obstacmes to reenslavemdnt if that region. Their aim as they are frank about is 'win-win' partnership with fascist regimes worldover, e.g. the US Israel India KSA etc etc.

@@jorgi6335 on the contrary, Palestinian people and resistance are the in sights of empire because the transnat ruling class including those domiciled in China deem them the last obstacles, along with their resisstance allies Hezbollah and the Syrian admin and state they just annihilated, to total reconquest and reenslavement of the region, China is also partnered with the US putting the screws on Venezuela and CUba, deemed the last obstacles to reconquest of that region,.

@@mollyklein6355 Nope. Everything you said was wrong.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It is my pleasure :)

Nope. That's you/ You are the joke. The elitist left he spoke of? That's you.

@@antediluvianatheist5262 eeh, sure. Now go and buy some stocks at the Shanghai Stock exchange.

He's doing more than most are. It's easy to critique someone from your keyboard. Go out and organize and let others do the work they are able to do. There isn't one type of praxis that is pure. All work, either intellectual or physical, is needed to organize a effective movement.

ACP is the only ML Vanguard party in the U.S based in the Proletariat. The rest are subcultural groups(despite their funding like the PSL) based in nyc.

Have you noticed the shit show the ACP has become. The latest fiasco around Haz has revealed deep problems with the organisation as it exists presently. This is not to defend the DSA. On the contrary. I am a supporter of MidWestern Marx and was excited by the emergence of ACP initially. It will not help the ACP to continue like it is without making changes to avoid the mistakes that have come to light. I wish any non-imperialist left organisation well.

@@simonjlkoreshoff3426 That was a coordinated recoking job possibly involving fed work. There is no fiasco. ACP is an actual communist party. Which is why that and more attempts will be expected. You should follow what happened instead of buying into bad faith actors propaganda.(Who then had to back track and disappear for a while once Dan Cohen came out with aome truth telling). The DSA is a social fascist petitebourgeois clique and subcultural pmc/student outfit. They are liberals and that is reflected in their class composition and priorities. Its not an antiimperialist communist outfit. Infact its an anti communist servant of the imperialist bourgeoisie (state dept) /DNC. Its fine we all have to start from somewhere, i too supproted it once bt i was also once a high school student.

@@simonjlkoreshoff3426 Haz is the reason why i see the hegemony of social fascism, of pmc- npc liberals larping radicality in the service of reaction will be broken , as it is finally in the U.S through the ACP. But its just a start although it has started in the right areas (the proletariat and the deproletarianized workers through a vangaurd party).

Thank you.

Ironic statement of the day. I live on Vancouver Island. It's has a population of about 800,000 on the whole island. The city of Victoria has maybe around 400,000 in the greater metro area. We have a huge amount of crime, drug addiction, and homelessness. The capitalist mode of production is to blame. People can't afford to live here with an average wage. Housing is extremely expensive and many people are one paycheck away from being homeless. This isn't unique to my city here in Canada, and it's worse in the US. My friends lives in Seattle, just across the water from me, and he says the level of crime and violence is shocking.

"i havent seen ANY of the shit he’s talking about where i live" it just screams of “i dont get out much”

Provide some actual evidence. You just made a bunch of claims that aren't even cogent. I don't know what point you are trying to make.

@eveningchaos1 you can look up everything I mentioned by some simple Internet searching. I can't post links here.

@@niket527 So I see that 996 work culture has been outlawed and they are working on reigning in that kind of work culture. This isn't unique to China. Lots of workers in my native Canada work those kinds of hours to make ends meet, and some are still homeless. White Worship isn't really a thing that's unique to China either, and it's not really about "whiteness" as there is a huge amount of Black pop culture in the West, too. Culture's around the world look to the imperial core for entertainment and media as the imperial core has all the resources to produce tons of pop culture garbage. I live in Canada, and we also look to the US for most of our entertainment and culture. I couldn't find anything about Ted Talk worship in China, or anywhere for that matter. Not sure where you mined that idea from. I don't think Rockhill or the rest of the panel discussed these ideas as they are tangential at best, and more suited for a discussion about the influence of pop culture from the West in the periphery. Something that countless KZbinrs talk about. It seems like you were trying to dangle a red herring to try to criticize the discussion without actually addressing the ideas presented within it. Just bringing up what was left out by citing some obscure and irrelevant topics isn't really a good critique, but that's my opinion. YMMV.

@eveningchaos1 yeah I mean the word outlawed is really doing some heavy lifting there. I personally know people who work 996. Also look into a video called Would Chinese Date Foreigners by the channel Mandarin Corner and you'll see people straight up say bigoted stuff. As for age discrimination, look into leftover women and the curse of 35. Also look at university admission requirements and scholarships for Chinese universities and you'll see that there are hard age limits for who can apply and be admitted. For example, you have to be under 25 to do an undergrad degree, which leaves out so many people who may have had to work instead of go to school. As for the Ted talk stuff, that's from my observation that in China the trends are some years behind those of the West, so while we shake our heads at pretentious Ted talks, they think they are these super sophisticated things worthy of respect. I mean now they are taking that mtbi personality test pseudo science seriously.

Part of the issue is that the USSR, great though it was, was NOT what Marx had in mind. To the extent that he had any plan at all. What he envisioned was a gradual transition. Basically, China. USSR was an ultraleft deviation. One that was forced on them due to the nazi invasion, but still a deviation. And this was then taken as the standard to measure all other socialisms by.

Thanks for the scathing rebuke. We Marxists are outclassed intellectually, obviously. I'm very concerned for our movement with powerhouses like yourself dismantling the whole of Marxist theory with one terse statement.

@eveningchaos1 On the contrary, I bow to your obviously superior argument. The perfection of your logic and your insight into social structure must be the reason for "Marxism" nearly always leading directly to its inevitable success as it morphs into fascism.

​@@ThatBoomerDude56 Sure. Marxist fascism. I didn't know they are the same thing. Thanks.
