John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs | All-In Summit 2024

[@mnet1514]

A long-time follower of Jeffrey Sachs and John Mearsheimer here. I've leaned more and more to Sachs as my exposure and research on geopolitics and economics expanded. Mearsheimer's "containing China" stand became increasingly aligned with the disastrous US government's policy since Obama's "pivot to China" days. I kept asking and arguing, WHY? China worked super hard to get to where they are now. They elevated over 800 MILLION of their citizens out of poverty just in the past few decades. They're one of the oldest civilizations, they're smart, they're innovative, they work hard, they're entrepreneurial, they're pragmatic, they hate wars, they don't intervene with other countries' politics, they don't bomb, nuke, regime-change other countries, they have only one military base outside China (to primarily protect their interest in a critical trade route in the international waters), they've advanced their educationl system, infrastructure and status of their society, etc., etc. What business does the US have in containing this unprecedented endeavor to a betterment of a billion and half lives? China has the absolute right to become a powerful nation because they damn well worked hard for it and achieved it peacefully (unlike the West that prospered by of course hardwork but also by genocide of natives, slavery, colonization, and unimaginable brutality). I have therefore lost interest lately on Mearsheimer's "realism" of choosing one nuclear war over the other. Sachs is always on point, reasonable, respectful to the sovereignty of the Global South countries and their leaders he works with, and truly passionate about peace and development. I'm with Sachs!

My respect for Prof. Sachs has grown tremendously after hearing him in “all in summit” talk.

And the man understands China deeply. The world needs more men like him.

[@Aston1sh]

I believe he is very much naive. I heard him that “someone” should get a passport. He might have worked in USSR and Asia, but he has no idea what is going on on the ground in central/eastern europe an Ukraine. He advocates to understand both sides, why doesn’t he represent both sides opinions?

That we should not just look at it from the US pov but also from China's and understand why China reacts to US belligerency. I don't recall any point where he said look at both points of view and equate them. After all the US is always the aggressor in my book and deserves to be treated as such. I personally wish the US would go and take a running jump and stop meddling so much around the world creating mayhem. Utterly fed up with their ridiculous teenage behaviour ...... which goes hand in hand with their teenage culture and history. By comparison China is far more mature as is fitting for a country with their long history and deep culture.

Yeah but, what matters after all is REALITY! And the world simply does not work like that! It's a world run by states, and the nature of state-dynamics is not how Pr. Sachs sees it but how Realism - Pr. Mearsheimer - describes it. And it's not like it's a temporary circumstance in humanity, but it's always been this way, as history tells! Man gets to choose between being unrealistic and have delusional hopes and get dominated by the realists, or being a realist and try to do as much good - realistic good that is - as possible. The only scenario where the world can become a much better place is when it's run by a "moral pole", a pole (meaning the most powerful a state can ever be: a pole) that's based on REAL moral grounds and principles..

- John Mearsheimer(Jewish)'s point of view: Evil never disciplines itself, imperialism and militarism never discipline itself, and the infinite desires of evil will inevitably lead to war. - Jeffrey Sachs's point of view: When evil realizes that it may have to pay an unbearable price (nuclear war), evil will have to start to discipline itself. First of all, stop emphasizing freedom, give up those evil desires that you are unable to realize, and do self-management and self-adjustment. - Mao Zedong's point of view (1953): "The U.S. imperialists are very arrogant. Wherever it can be unreasonable, it must be unreasonable. When it begins to abide by morality and justice, it must have been forced to do it."

[@Harz604]

I feel like mearshiemers principle that US must maintain hegemony at all cost and it must prevent others from becoming regional hegemony is the very principle that created the deep state that he derided in the beginning. After hearing this talk it’s clear that he’s not against the IDEA of US being involved militarily / starting wars n conflicts around the world, he just feels like US is involved in the WRONG areas. Ultimately while he says he’s not interested in regime change in China, this is precisely what he hopes to achieve as it is the only way to maintain US hegemony (until the next #2 threatens that hegemony). As he said there’ve been 4 times when US hegemony were threatened: imperial Japan, imperial Germany, nazi germany and Soviet Union. All of them ended in regime change. The real question we should be asking is whether it is worth sacrificing the world’s prosperity in order to ensure US hegemony.

6:30 The Great Criminal Jeffrey Sachs - who is directly responsible for condemning millions to death with his anti-socialist reforms - muses about being aware of the fascist deep state of the United States since the early 1990s. Maybe if he had listened to the socialists of the Soviet Union - who understood how the US operates for many decades before his birth and were having to deal with it since the 1940s - he wouldn't have served the US empire but helped the USSR defend itself against the very deep state and capitalist ideology that the US always represented. The US never changed. He just gained a little bit of understanding (but he never bothered to truly understand the evil of capitalism and the United States, he still believes it's "a few rotten apples" causing problems, instead of understanding that all problems he's identifying are inherent to the inhuman system he supports). Every third rate socialist analyst from the 20th century had deeper insights and more interesting things to say than him, yet nobody ever listened to them.

I feel that as Sach's pointed out, Mearsheimer's logic is flawed in a world with MAD doctrine. I think China would be willing to risk nukes to preserve its independence. But China is not willing to risk nukes to encroach on the US's doorstep. Right now with Mearsheimer's logic, he seems to think that NOT containing China would cause an existential threat to the US, as opposed to Sachs pointing out that the only thing that could hurt the US now, are nukes, which can only come from threatening China's existence by lining its doorstep with US military bases.

[@tofatofa472]

People are wrong to compare China’s rise today to its distant past. Modern China is emerging in a world built by the West-shaped by nuclear power, global economies, and technology that ancient empires couldn’t imagine. China won’t act like its old self. It adopted Marxism, a Western idea, and made it core to its system. This alone shows China isn’t locked into some "distinct" or "different" thinking. Common sense says it won’t tear down the Western-built system-it’ll tweak it and take the lead. The idea that Chinese or Asian thinking is fundamentally different from Western thinking is weak. This isn’t East vs. West-it’s human nature. From the Ashanti in Africa to the Polynesians in Tonga to China’s Warring States, they all followed the same power logic as Rome or Britain. Power isn’t Western, it’s universal. Mearsheimer’s view of China and the U.S. reflects how humans behave in power: fear, pride, greed, ruthlessness. China will act like any great power-because that’s what great powers do. Here’s a thought experiment: Do you see BYD or Huawei retreating? Do you see China backing down to U.S. pressure? Or companies you’ve worked for-CEOs, managers-doing anything but maximizing influence and power? What’s so difficult and controversial to understand here? And that’s the world we live in. The real problem? 80 years of peace and prosperity, largely built by the U.S., has created weak minds that have forgotten the brutal nature of power. Just like how junk food companies-born in that same peaceful world-left people with soft bodies, the West has grown soft in understanding what power really is.

in one sense true but what he does not point out is that China does not think the same way as the West. If challenged they will fight but they prefer a win-win situation. They have several border disputes but most have been and are being sorted by Diplomay. The SCS was not the problem until The USA returned and convinced the Philippines to kick Chinese infrastructure out and become aggressive. AS for China's harassment it is obvious that people have not studied it, The Philippines have sunk and killed more fishermen and boats than China has. The US funded the UNCLOS decision, and at least two judges completely changed their minds from previous articles on what constitutes an Island.

[@westalwayslose4herowars]

In the long history of 4,000+ years, China has gone through many ups and downs. Historically, ancient China (Han, Tang, Song, Ming, Qing) once was the world's No1 power many times. In history, ancient China (the Three Kingdoms, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the partition of the North and South Dynasties, the late Qing Dynasty, and the Republic of China during the period of Japanese aggression, etc.) also fell to a very low position at one time or another. China has never been hysterical and biting others like a madman for being ranked 2nd, 3rd or lower. China bounced back every time. Unlike the Western powers, China tends to rebound by unifying its own territory and rarely expands or colonizes other countries. Now China is once again in the path of returning its pinnacle of history. China has a peaceful mind with these historical fluctuations. Because China is a mature civilization that is able to view changes in the power rankings of its countries with equanimity. The United States is very jealous of China's progress. The United States is a sad little country with a history of 200+ years. The United States has been No 1 in the world only once, for a total of less than 100 years. The United States cannot afford to lose. The United States is a country that cannot accept defeat in competition. it is impossible for a country to be No 1 power forever. China can't, USA can't, no country can. it is naïve to pursue all-time No 1. USA need grow up from a giant baby.

It is deeply concerning when someone as intelligent and influential as Professor Sachs advances narratives that misrepresent the nature of Israel’s actions and intentions. His suggestion that Prime Minister Netanyahu is attempting to pull America into a war with Iran is not only dangerous but also fundamentally misleading. Israel, since its establishment in 1948, has been under constant threat, facing relentless attacks fueled by anti-Semitic rhetoric and violence. The October 7 assault by Hamas was immediately followed by threats and attacks from Hezbollah, with Iran openly supporting these actions. Israel is not seeking to drag the U.S. into a conflict but is defending itself against existential threats, as Iran and its proxies repeatedly call for its destruction. Iran’s “Death to America” chants and longstanding hostility towards the West are well-documented, and to downplay this reality is to ignore the grave threat posed not only to Israel but to all Western nations. Sachs’ dismissive attitude, coupled with the smugness of someone who believes they know better, is indeed alarming. He seems disconnected from the real-world stakes, while Israel is fighting not just for its own survival but for the security of the entire Western world. These scholars may impress each other in academic panels, but their disconnect from the harsh realities of global conflict renders their views dangerously out of touch. I am frustrated with the rhetoric of Professor Jeffrey Sachs, as such narratives not only frighten me but also risk gaslighting and furthering division and misunderstanding. My frustration extends beyond disappointment, as it frightens me due to the potential for these narratives to gaslight the public, creating further division and misunderstanding.

reality...the US is Schizophrenia Anxiety Disorders Disruptive behaviour and dissocial disorders....in our policy abroad and at home! India is well aware that the bigger enemy is the USA. As the USA is trying to contain China... it will do the same when India becomes bigger than the USA.

Jeffrey Sacks - BRAVO! My day is only meaningful if I have a chance to listen to Jeffery. Clear, reflecting realty, logical, rational, genius professor and, unfortunately, so naive. But he now submuts that he was naive in the past. I wish more people in the world listen to his opinion. He desperately tries to save the world, but not too many people really get that he is damn right about nuclear thread. The nukes really can ruin your day! Wake up, folks!

John believes ALL countries would act like Anglo Saxons if they were in their shoes. I believe China as a civilization and society is fundamentally different and wouldn't be hellbent on meddling with others. China is just inwards focused, no one can change these forces that make it this way

[@marcomongke3116]

​@dunzhen I am probably biased because of my countries location and history. But to me, China seem like expansionist, and Russia is like a protective alliance. I am from Mongolia. But judging from the actions of NATOs in the last decade both Russia and China seem like angels in comparison.

USA became a hegemon due to very distinct and unique historical circumstances. It is highly unlikely that any nation would ever dominate the world the way USA has over the last 150 years or so, especially in an emerging multi-polar world.

@@marcomongke3116 That's fair. I think Anglo Saxon empires really put it into perspective how much worse China could be. I just won't accept hearing this from a Westerner...honestly. Unfortunately everyone lets them get away speaking from some moral highground

This was excellent. Thank you. Much respect to both of these men who I have listened to for some time.

[@ArielVisionary]

We are in a paradigm shift from geopolitics to geoeconomics, which China is leading. The way forward to continued prosperity for Americans is to cooperate with China instead of competing. That means shifting ideas about power seeking or being a ruthless hegemon. I agree with Jeffrey Sachs that China is not a threat to the U.S. We are all threatened by nuclear war. Yes, our mindset leads us to this brink. We can change our mindset. It's feasible. And I appreciate Jeffrey Sachs explaining all this.

[@jieli4589]

If you read Chinese at all, China wants to be a ruthless hegemony. And CCP is not known for benevolent and just governance

[@iwanagohome326]

​@@jieli4589I do read Chinese and I listen to great thinker like Prof Zhang Wei Wei....they are NOT ruthless Hegemon and never will be, all they want is moderate prosperity to its 1.4 billion citizens and to spread the wealth to the rest of the world, esp to poorer nations.

I agree. Mearsheimer is projecting western ideas about power onto China. Not everyone who gets power wields it like a psychopath.

I am awe struck at this panel. I've never seen a more sincere and respectful discussion among intelectuals as John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs. I've been a huge fan of the two and also wondered when the two'd be seen together. Their foreign policy really resonates closely with my believes on how the US should handle global conflict. Kudos to All-in Podcast for getting these two together.
